Verdict
The Proton eMas 7 costs RM14,000 more, but it is the larger C-segment SUV: its 2,750 mm wheelbase is 150 mm longer and its 461-litre boot adds 131 litres over the X50. Its 215 hp, 320 Nm motor also reaches 100 km/h in 6.9 seconds, 0.7 seconds ahead. For a Malaysian buyer with dependable charging, the 49.52 kWh battery, 345 km range and 80 kW DC charging make a strong case. The X50 remains the lower-cost petrol choice, with a 45-litre tank and lower RM120 annual road tax.
Pick the Proton eMas 7 if you can charge regularly and want 345 km EV range, a 461-litre boot and stronger listed driver-assistance equipment.
Pick the Proton X50 if lower upfront cost, a petrol 45-litre tank and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto matter more than EV running.
