Overview
The Proton eMas 5 is a five-seat, rear-wheel-drive B-segment electric hatchback for buyers wanting a compact EV and a choice of battery capacities. Launched in 2025, the Mk1 range starts from RM59,800 and pairs a single-ratio automatic transmission with either 225 km or 325 km claimed range.
eMas 5 in 2026 — what's new
The Mk1 carries into 2026 as the 2025-launched B-segment electric hatchback, with Prime and Premium grades. A test mule spotted in October points to a possible update with larger-capacity batteries and a bodykit, while the current car remains a two-variant, rear-wheel-drive line-up. The eMas 5 is Proton eMas’s best-selling model and accounted for 54% of Malaysia’s EV market in August.
Which variant to buy
Most buyers should choose the Premium at RM72,800. Its 40.16 kWh battery lifts claimed range to 325 km, and its motor produces 114 hp. The RM13,000 gap over the RM59,800 Prime buys 10.04 kWh more battery capacity, 100 km more claimed range and 37 hp. Pick the Prime if keeping the initial outlay down matters more than longer trips; it still has rear-wheel drive, five seats and 225 km of claimed range.
Verdict
The eMas 5 starts below the Wuling Bingo’s RM67,800 entry price, while Premium costs more than the Wuling’s starting figure. Its two grades make the battery and performance trade-off unusually clear: 225 km and 77 hp in Prime, or 325 km and 114 hp in Premium. Malaysian buyers have responded strongly, with the eMas 5 taking 54% of the EV market in August.
