Which variant to buy
Most buyers should pick the Prime at RM59,800 if 225 km of quoted range suits their daily use. The Premium costs RM72,800. Its RM13,000 gap buys a 40.16 kWh battery, 325 km of range and a 114 hp rear motor, against the Prime’s 30.12 kWh pack, 225 km and 77 hp. Pay more for the Premium when the extra 100 km of quoted range matters; both have five seats, rear-wheel drive and a single-ratio automatic.

Proton eMas 5 buyer's guides & reviews
Verdict
The eMas 5 is Malaysia’s EV sales leader, taking 54% of the market in August 2026, so its appeal is clear. The Prime starts below the RM67,800 Wuling Bingo, the cheapest named same-class rival. But the Premium costs RM5,000 more than the Bingo, while remaining below the RM100,000 Dongfeng Box and RM100,888 MG 4. The two-model range gives buyers a clear range-and-power choice.
