Proton eMas 7 Premium vs Premium Plus
Verdict
This is a simple battery decision. The Proton eMas 7 Premium Plus costs RM6,000 more and swaps the 60.2 kWh pack for 68.4 kWh, lifting rated EV range from 410 km to 450 km. Everything that moves it is otherwise the same: single front motor, 215 hp, 6.9-second 0-100 km/h and 175 km/h top speed. Same C-segment SUV body, same 461-litre boot, same six airbags and five-star ASEAN NCAP rating. If your driving rarely tests 410 km, the Premium keeps the money in your pocket.
Pick the Proton eMas 7 Premium if 410 km of range covers your routine and you would rather save RM6,000 than pay for the larger battery.
Pick the Proton eMas 7 Premium Plus if you want the 68.4 kWh battery and 450 km range for more buffer between charges.
