Verdict
At RM76,100 versus RM59,800, the Traz costs RM16,300 more, but brings SUV proportions, a 471-litre boot and stronger active safety: ASA 3.0 operates from 4-120 km/h with pedestrian detection, while the eMas 5 has no autonomous braking listed. The eMas 5 is the cheaper electric route, with a 30.12-kWh battery, 225 km range, 53-kW DC charging and 3.3-kW V2L. Its 2,650-mm wheelbase beats the Traz’s 2,620 mm, though the Perodua is 175 mm longer and better suited to bulky family loads.
Pick the Perodua Traz if you need the 471-litre boot, 17-inch alloys and ASA 3.0 braking with pedestrian detection.
Pick the Proton eMas 5 if RM59,800, a 225-km EV range, 53-kW DC charging and 3.3-kW V2L matter more than boot capacity and ADAS.
