Proton eMas 7 Prime vs Premium
Verdict
The Proton eMas 7 Premium asks RM16,000 more than the Proton eMas 7 Prime, and the hard gain is battery capacity: 60.2 kWh versus 49.5 kWh, taking EV range from 345 km to 410 km. Everything else that shapes the basic drive is the same, including the 215 hp single motor, front-wheel drive layout, 6.9-second 0-100 km/h time and 175 km/h top speed. For a Malaysian buyer, this is a range decision, not a performance one.
Pick the Proton eMas 7 Prime if 345 km of range is enough and you want the same 215 hp performance for less money.
Pick the Proton eMas 7 Premium if the 410 km range matters more than saving RM16,000.
