Which variant to buy
Most buyers should pick the Prime at RM59,800 if its 225 km claimed range suits their daily charging routine. The Premium costs RM72,800, and the RM10,000 gap buys a 40.16 kWh battery, 325 km claimed range and a 114 hp motor, against the Prime’s 30.12 kWh pack and 77 hp motor. Pay more if the extra 100 km of claimed range matters; both are five-seat, rear-wheel-drive hatchbacks with a single-ratio automatic.

Proton eMas 5 buyer's guides & reviews
Verdict
The eMas 5 gives Malaysia an unusually low entry point for an electric hatchback: the Prime is RM8,000 below the Wuling Bingo’s starting price. The Premium is RM5,000 above the Bingo entry price, but remains below the Dongfeng Box and MG 4 starting prices. Rear-wheel drive and a choice of 225 km or 325 km claimed range give buyers clear priorities. The eMas 5 is also Proton’s top-selling eMas vehicle in July 2026.
