Verdict
The Proton eMas 7 asks RM103,800 against the Proton X50’s RM89,800, so the RM14,000 gap buys a larger C-segment EV rather than a smaller B-segment petrol SUV. It is 235 mm longer, has a 150 mm longer wheelbase and carries 461 litres versus 330 litres, while its 215 hp/320 Nm motor does 0-100 km/h in 6.9 seconds. The X50 counters with a 178 hp/290 Nm 1.5 turbo, 7.6 seconds, 311 kg less weight, a 45-litre tank and a space-saver spare.
Pick the Proton eMas 7 if you want the quicker, roomier EV with 345 km of range, adaptive cruise control and stronger active safety kit.
Pick the Proton X50 if you want the lower purchase price, petrol refuelling, lighter body and a space-saver spare tyre.
