Verdict
The Perodua QV-E is the more capable long-distance EV: its 52.5 kWh battery is rated at 370 km, against 225 km from the Proton eMas 5’s 30.12 kWh pack, while 201 hp and 285 Nm make its 7.5-second 0-100 km/h claim far more useful than the eMas 5’s 77 hp and 130 Nm. The Proton costs RM10,199 less, has a 375-litre boot and RM30 annual road tax. Factor in the QV-E’s listed RM215 monthly BaaS rental for nine years before deciding.
Pick the Perodua QV-E if you need 370 km of range, much stronger 201 hp performance and active driving aids including ASA 3.0 and adaptive cruise control.
Pick the Proton eMas 5 if a lower RM59,800 entry price, a 375-litre boot and RM30 yearly road tax matter more than outright range and performance.
