Verdict
At RM103,800, the Proton eMas 7 costs RM3,000 less than the X90 and brings a 215 hp, 320 Nm electric motor, 345 km claimed range and 80 kW DC charging. Its 461-litre boot also beats the X90’s 257 litres, although it seats five. The D-segment X90 is 4,830 mm long, carries seven and has a 60-litre petrol tank, so it is the answer for larger families without home or public charging certainty. The eMas 7 also gets autonomous braking, lane-keeping assist and a 360-degree camera.
Pick the Proton eMas 7 if five seats, a 345 km EV range, larger 461-litre boot and active safety aids matter more than a third row.
Pick the Proton X90 if you need seven seats, a larger 4,830 mm body and the convenience of a 60-litre petrol tank.
