eMas 7 PHEV in 2026 — what's new

The eMas 7 PHEV is a 2026-launch model, so it enters 2026 as a fresh addition rather than a carry-over. The current range is Prime, Premium and Premium Plus.

Variants (3)

RM109,800–RM129,800 · est. from RM1,120/mo

Which variant to buy

Pick the Prime at RM109,800 unless you have confirmed the extra kit you want in the showroom. Premium costs RM123,800 and Premium Plus RM129,800, but all three listed versions share the same 98 hp petrol plug-in hybrid drivetrain, single-ratio automatic transmission and five-seat layout. On paper, you are paying for trim, not mechanicals. Pay more only if the equipment list justifies the jump for you.

Verdict

The eMas 7 PHEV gives Proton a C-segment SUV for buyers who want plug-in use without going fully electric. Demand is clearly there, with 11,000 bookings and 1,755 early deliveries. It can also be driven without plug-in charging while keeping the battery warranty. But its entry price is higher than the Proton eMas 7, Proton X70, Jetour Dashing, Dongfeng Vigo and Leapmotor B10.
