We just got confirmation that the Proton e.MAS 7 will be launched in Malaysia next week on 16 December! As previous shared by Proton, the national carmaker’s first EV will be priced at the RM120,000 mark, and bookings placed before the electric SUV’s launch will come with a RM1,500 early bird package.

To recap, two variants of the e.MAS 7 will be offered: there’s the base Prime model and the range-topping Premium trim. Naturally, the Premium version has all the bells and whistles. These include a larger 60.22kWh battery that can provide a range of up to 410km – as measured on the stringent WLTP cycle – support for 100kW DC charging, a panoramic sunroof, powered tailgate, as well as 19-inch alloy wheels.

As for the more affordable e.MAS 7 Prime, it features a smaller 49.52kWh battery, offering up to 345km of WLTP range on a single charge. DC charging has also been slightly lowered to 80kW, though AC charging remains at 11kW, similar to the Premium model. Aside from that, it sports 18-inch wheels too.

Beyond these differences, both variants of the e.MAS 7 are powered by the same front-mounted electric motor that produces 160kW (218PS) and 320Nm of torque. This is good for a 0-100kmph time of only 6.9 seconds to a top speed of 175kmph. Oh, ADAS is also standard equipment, which is great.

The Proton e.MAS 7 will be launched in Malaysia on 16 December next week, and it can now be booked through the Proton e.MAS app, which can be downloaded from the Apple App Store, Google Play Store, and Huawei AppGallery. As mentioned, the EV has an estimated price of RM120,000, and those who place a booking for the EV at the ongoing KLIMS 2024 event can enjoy a RM1,500 early bird package and a limited edition Proton Saga Hot Wheels.
