Verdict
The Proton eMas 5 is the RM59,800 entry point: a compact B-segment hatchback with 225 km of range, 77 hp and RM30 annual road tax. The Proton eMas 7 costs RM44,000 more at RM103,800, but brings SUV space, 345 km range, 215 hp and 320 Nm, plus 80 kW DC charging. Its 461-litre boot is 86 litres larger and its 5-star ASEAN NCAP rating is a clear safety advantage. For a city buyer watching the monthly outlay, the eMas 5 is enough; families and frequent intercity drivers will feel the eMas 7’s extra capability every day.
The eMas 7 Premium Plus (RM125,800) sits above every eMas 5 variant here, so the verdict compares the closest-priced pairing — use the selectors above to match any two trims.
Pick the Proton eMas 5 if RM59,800 pricing, a 4,135 mm hatchback footprint and RM30 yearly road tax matter more than outright range and performance.
Pick the Proton eMas 7 if you need 345 km range, 461 litres of boot space and the stronger 215 hp motor for family and highway use.
