Proton eMas 7

Proton eMas 7

Verdict

At RM118,800, the Leapmotor B10 costs RM15,000 more than the RM103,800 Proton eMas 7, but brings a 67.1-kWh battery and 434-km range against 49.52 kWh and 345 km. The Proton is the quicker, lighter and roomier choice: 6.9 seconds to 100 km/h, 1,662 kg and a 461-litre boot, versus 9.3 seconds, 1,845 kg and 430 litres. Its 320 Nm also beats the B10’s 240 Nm. The B10 answers with rear-wheel drive, dual-zone climate control and a panoramic glass roof. Charging provision favours the eMas 7, however, with 80-kW DC charging stated where no B10 DC rate is given.

B10

Pick the Leapmotor B10 if you will pay RM15,000 more for 434 km of range, rear-wheel drive, dual-zone climate control and a panoramic glass roof.

eMas 7

Pick the Proton eMas 7 if lower purchase cost, 6.9-second acceleration, a larger boot and 80-kW DC charging matter more than extra battery capacity.
