Perodua Traz vs Proton eMas 5
Verdict
The Perodua Traz is the costlier, more conventional family choice: RM76,100 buys a petrol B-SUV with 105 hp, 138 Nm, a 42-litre tank and a much larger 471-litre boot. The Proton eMas 5 costs RM59,800 and asks you to accept hatchback packaging and 77 hp for EV running, rear-wheel drive, RM30 road tax and a six-year warranty. Its 30.1 kWh battery and 225 km range suit planned urban use. Space and AEB lean Traz; running costs and entry price lean eMas 5.
Pick the Perodua Traz if you want SUV practicality, a 471-litre boot, petrol refuelling and listed auto emergency braking.
Pick the Proton eMas 5 if you want the lower purchase price, EV running, RM30 road tax and can live with 225 km of range.
