Emkoo in 2026 — what's new
The Emkoo carries on into 2026 unchanged, with no 2026-specific update announced. The current Malaysian range consists of the Premium and Premium Pro, both using the same 1,497 cc petrol engine and wet dual-clutch automatic. Its latest key developments were the 2025 Malaysian launch, CKD local assembly at the Segambut plant and a five-star ASEAN NCAP rating.

Which variant to buy
Most buyers should start with the Emkoo Premium at RM123,800. It gets the same 1,497 cc petrol engine, 175 hp output, wet dual-clutch automatic and five-seat layout as the Premium Pro, so you are not paying for extra mechanical performance. The Premium Pro costs RM133,800; pay the RM10,000 more if you want the higher trim, with items shown on that grade including a power tailgate and auto parking.

Verdict
The Emkoo is a new petrol C-segment SUV with local assembly, a five-star ASEAN NCAP rating and a body larger than the Proton X70. But its starting price is higher than the Proton X70 and Jetour Dashing, both from RM106,800, so it is not the cheapest route into this class. Its case rests on size, safety rating and the equipment offered in each trim.
