Overview
The Proton eMas 5 is a five-seat B-segment electric hatchback launched in 2025, aimed at buyers moving into battery-electric motoring without stepping up to a larger car. It starts from RM59,800 in Prime form, with rear-wheel drive, 225 km of range and a 77 hp electric motor. The Premium adds distance and performance.
eMas 5 in 2026 — what's new
The Mk1 eMas 5 carries into 2026 unchanged with the two-variant Prime and Premium range introduced at launch. Both are five-seat, rear-wheel-drive electric hatchbacks; Prime uses a 30.12 kWh battery and Premium a 40.16 kWh pack. The latest developments centre on its market presence: it takes 54% of Malaysia’s EV market in August 2026 and is set for PDRM police-car testing, with Gentari to provide free charging.
Which variant to buy
Most buyers should choose the RM72,800 Premium. The RM13,000 step up gets a 40.16 kWh battery, a quoted 325 km range and 114 hp, versus the Prime’s 30.12 kWh, 225 km and 77 hp. That is 100 km more quoted range plus 37 hp. Pick the RM59,800 Prime if keeping entry cost down matters more than the extra range and output. Both are rear-wheel-drive five-seaters.
Verdict
At RM59,800, the Prime is RM8,000 below Wuling Bingo entry pricing and RM40,200 below the Dongfeng Box. The Premium costs RM5,000 more than a Bingo but remains RM27,200 below a Dongfeng Box, while bringing 325 km quoted range and 114 hp. Its 54% share of Malaysia’s EV market in August 2026 shows that the eMas 5 has found a substantial audience.
