Proton has showcased the locally assembled (CKD) version of the eMas 5 at the Kuala Lumpur International Mobility Show 2026 (KLIMS 2026), while also launching a new range-topping eMas 7 Premium Plus variant in Malaysia.
The eMas 5 CKD is set to replace the fully imported (CBU) units soon, following the start of production at Proton’s dedicated EV plant in Tanjong Malim. Unlike the eMas 7, which received a price reduction with local assembly, prices for the eMas 5 remain unchanged.
The Proton eMas 5 continues to be priced at RM 56,800 for the Prime and RM 69,800 for the Premium, both on-the-road without insurance and inclusive of a RM 3,000 launch rebate.
There are no exterior or interior changes for the CKD eMas 5. The compact EV retains its dual-cowl dashboard design, 8.8-inch instrument display and 14.6-inch infotainment touchscreen. The only update is a standard hard tonneau cover for the 375-litre boot, which is now included for all eMas 5 customers from 1 June onwards, including CBU units.
Mechanically, the eMas 5 also remains unchanged. The Prime variant uses a single front motor producing 79 PS and 130 Nm, paired with a 30.12 kWh CATL LFP battery that delivers up to 225 km of range on the WLTP cycle.
The Premium variant gets a higher-output front motor producing 116 PS and 150 Nm, paired with a larger 40.16 kWh battery. Range for the eMas 5 Premium is rated at 325 km on the WLTP cycle.
Charging support is also unchanged. The Prime supports up to 53 kW DC charging, while the Premium supports up to 71 kW DC charging. Both variants can charge from 30 to 80% in 21 minutes. AC charging is rated at up to 6.6 kW, with a 10 to 100% charge taking 4.3 hours for the Prime and 5.9 hours for the Premium.
Moving to the eMas 7 Premium Plus, which now sits at the top of the eMas 7 EV line-up. The eMas 7 range now consists of three locally assembled variants, all produced at Proton’s EV plant in Tanjong Malim. The Proton eMas 7 Prime is priced at RM 96,800, the Premium at RM 112,800 and the new Premium Plus at RM 118,800.
The main difference for the eMas 7 Premium Plus is a larger 68.39 kWh battery, which increases range to 450 km on the WLTP cycle. This is 40 km more than the Premium variant, which uses a 60.22 kWh battery and offers 410 km of WLTP range. The base Prime variant continues with a 49.52 kWh battery and 345 km of WLTP range.
The eMas 7 Premium Plus retains the same front-mounted motor producing 218 PS and 320 Nm. Due to the larger battery, the Premium Plus has a 0-100 km/h time of 7.4 seconds, slightly slower than the Premium at 7.1 seconds and the Prime at 6.9 seconds. Proton says the Premium Plus weighs 1,815 kg, which is 50 kg more than the Premium.
DC fast charging for the Premium Plus is rated at up to 115 kW, with a 30 to 80% charge taking 20 minutes. AC charging remains at 11 kW, with a 10 to 100% charge taking 6.7 hours.
New equipment on the Premium Plus includes a front passenger leg rest and massage function for the ventilated driver and front passenger seats. It also retains equipment from the Premium, including front passenger seat memory, a self-dimming rear-view mirror, a 16-speaker Flyme audio system with headrest speakers and a windshield-projected head-up display. The Premium Plus also gets the same higher-level ADAS features as the Premium.
Six exterior colours are offered for the 2026 Proton eMas 7, namely Lithium White, Turquoise Green, Slate Grey, Platinum Silver, Quartz Rose and Obsidian Black. Two interior colours are available, Indigo Blue and Alabaster White, with the latter exclusive to Turquoise Green and Quartz Rose on the Premium and Premium Plus variants.
Launch pricing for the eMas 7 Premium Plus includes a RM 5,000 trade-in rebate, complimentary 7 kW home charger worth RM 1,500, V2L adapter worth RM 500, a five-year unlimited data plan worth RM 1,800 and a complimentary tonneau cover.
The 2026 Proton eMas 7 comes with a six-year, unlimited-mileage vehicle warranty, along with an eight-year, 160,000 km warranty for the high-voltage battery and related components.
