Verdict
At RM103,800, the eMas 7 costs RM3,000 less than the RM106,800 X70 yet brings 215 hp, 320 Nm, a 49.52-kWh battery and 345 km of EV range. Its 2,750-mm wheelbase is also 80 mm longer. It is the stronger buy if you can charge regularly, with 11-kW AC and 80-kW DC charging plus adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assistance. The X70 counters with a 515-litre boot, ventilated front seats and RM120 annual road tax against RM200 for the EV.
Pick the Proton eMas 7 if regular charging suits your routine and you want 215 hp, 345 km of range and a fuller active-safety set for less money.
Pick the Proton X70 if its 515-litre boot, front-seat ventilation, dual-zone climate control and lower RM120 annual road tax matter more than EV running.
