You’ve seen the car in full, and here it is with its official pricing – the Proton eMas 5 is launched in Malaysia from RM56,800 as the Prime, up to RM69,800 as the Premium with the introductory RM3,000 rebate until December 31; prices for all variants are on-the-road without insurance (prices without rebate are RM59,800 and RM72,800 OTR).
The initial roll-out of the eMas 5 will be solely of the Premium variant to begin with, as the entry Prime variant will only be made available later on. Thus priced, the eMas 5 is the cheapest EV currently on sale in Malaysia.
Prior to the official launch today, the eMas 5 has already been unveiled earlier this week by prime minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim at the ASEAN Summit, and after the eMas 7, this is the brand’s second battery-electric vehicle in the aforementioned two variants.
The eMas 5 measures 4,135 mm long, 1,805 mm wide and 1,580 mm tall, with a wheelbase of 2,650 mm, with ground clearance of 160 mm. In terms of weight, the eMas 5 weighs 1,230 kg for the Prime and 1,305 kg for the Premium. Rolling stock is a set of 15-inch steel wheels on 205/65R15 tyres the Prime, and 16-inch alloys on tyres measuring 205/60R16 for the Premium.
Starting with the Prime, the base variant brings a single 79 PS/130 Nm rear axle motor, drawing from a 30.12 kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) CATL-made battery that offers a claimed 225 km of range on the WLTP testing standard.
Stepping up to the Premium yields a more powerful motor with 116 PS and 150 Nm, along with a larger 40.16 kWh LFP battery for up to 325 km of range (WLTP). Acceleration from 0-50 km/h is a claimed 3.9 seconds (Premium) and 4.4 seconds (Prime).
The eMas 5 takes up to 71 kW of DC charging in Premium guise, while the Prime is 53 kW DC; both variants will take 21 minutes to charge their batteries from 30-80%. Meanwhile, AC charging at up to 6.6 kW is supported when using a wallbox charger, which will take 4.3 hours to recharge from 10-100% for the Prime, and 5.9 hours for the Premium. Conversely, the eMas 5 also provides vehicle-to-load (V2L) functionality for powering external devices.
For safety, the eMas 5 gets six airbags (front, front side and side curtain), ESC, ABS, traction control rear parking sensors as well as a 360-degree surround camera with a 3D display on the Premium (the Prime gets a reverse camera). There are 12 ADAS functions in all in the Premium with the full complement, and these are:
- Adaptive cruise control (ACC)
- Autonomous emergency braking (AEB)
- Forward collision warning (FCW)
- Lane departure warning (LDW)
- Blind spot detection (BSD)
- Lane change assist (LCA)
- Rear cross traffic alert (RCTA)
- Rear collision warning (RCW)
- Emergency brake assist (EBA)
- Front vehicle departure (FVD)
- Traffic sign recognition (TSR)
- Door opening warning (DOW)
For the Prime, the base variant does without the full suite, essentially leaving out forward facing systems and thus retaining blind spot detection, lane change warning, rear cross traffic alert, rear collision warning, and door opening warning.
Standard equipment for the eMas 5 (beginning with the Prime) includes manual halogen headlights, 15-inch steel wheels and hub caps, manual tailgate, manual seats and air-con, rear air vents, urethane steering wheel and synthetic leather upholstery.
The Premium variant specifically gets LED exterior lighting with intelligent high beam control, a contrasting black roof, a powered tailgate, D-pad-inspired alloys, six speakers, a 360-degree camera and a powered tailgate. The Premium also adds a chrome strip along the lower section of its sides.
Under the skin, the RWD eMas 5 (not the first Proton to be so; that would be the Juara) gets a MacPherson strut front and a multi-link rear suspension configuration, which is similar to that of the larger eMas 7.
Front and centre in the cabin of the eMas 5 is a 14.6-inch infotainment unit that runs on Atlas OS, equipped with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, accompanying the 8.8-inch driver’s instrument panel. Voice control is by the “Hi eMas” voice control in Bahasa Malaysia as well as in English, along with functions including an integrated live charging map.
For device connectivity, the eMas 5 gets one USB-A and one USB-C socket, the former also offering wired Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity. In the Premium, rear seat occupants additionally get one USB-A socket.
The cabin of the eMas 5 itself is essentially that of the Geome Xingyuan it is based upon, with some Proton-specific alterations such as the logo, and the door card inlay graphics. For the driver, the two-spoke steering wheel is a flat-bottomed but otherwise more rounded unit than the one in the eMas 7, which has a more flat-sided shape.
Access to the rear half of the cabin is by a door aperture of up to 65 degrees, to a rear bench that offers 890 mm of legroom. The tailgate opens to a compartment with 375 litres of luggage capacity, which expands to 1,320 litres with the rear seats folded. At the front end, a 70 litre frunk offers added storage. Within the cabin, the under-console cubby holds 20 litres, while another 28 litres in the rear underseat storage compartment.
Exterior colours for the eMas 5 are Moonstone White, Graphite Silver, Slate Grey along with Marble Cream and Quartz Rose, the latter two exclusive to the Premium. Interior upholstery is in a Flint Grey colour as standard, while Premium variant examples in Marble Cream and Quartz Rose exterior paint colours get the cabin in Alabaster White.

Wow..a true market disruptor.. we will be looking back today and say this was the day the automotive industry changed pricing wise..good job!
So Myvi EV below 50k? :D
Ya, but battery rental cost RM400
We have observed that a segment of the audience continues to struggle with differentiating the range estimates provided by the WLTP and CLTC.
Plastic fantastic interior, almost no soft touch anywhere, understandable given the price
If you are 5ft10 and above back seats will leave your head basically touching the roof
Harga RM56k boleh dipertimbangkan. masih perlu kira bagaimana hendak mengecas kenderaan ini dan kos mengguna public charger.. saya duduk apartment… tak ada peluang home charging… sigh
solat subuh di masjid / surau sambil charge… lepas habis solat 30 minit, batt dah full
Should be soon ada or cuba check bole tarik cable for normal charging overnight
When can paultan.org release the full comprehensive review video of this emas5?
When we’ve driven the car properly, of course.
this proton e.mas 5 and e.mas 7, not proton emas 5 and emas 7.
All I can say is GG Perodua EV , unless they can come up with something under RM50k
The 225km range for the basic version,is a bit on the downside.
Everything seems ok except range anxiety is a concern.
With such a limited range,the lower version will mainly be a city car,for fetching kids,local shopping etc.
It is good P1 is giving Perodua a good fight with this small EV and latest Saga.
Time for overpriced Myvis and Bezzas to be given a hefty price haircut.
Lets wait for Perodua answer to ev dominance.
They won’t. Too many hardcore blind p2 supporters that care about nothing except good RV
Prime ev range @ 110km/h KL S’ban round trip?
Good buy. Going forward next 2 to 3 years there’ll be many options below 80k and above 300km range. Ev age is very close. If you don’t like, sure keep buying petrol and complaining :)
BEV still not a mature tech, whatever you ranting won’t help when battery depleted fast when it reach it charging cycles limit
Hahahahaha obviously you are 5 years outdated regarding battery technology and have zero reading on the academic literature and case studies on battery depletion over 10 years. So many of your type hahahaha
Looks like the competition for the affordable
BEV has started. With Proton firing the first salvo. Now let’s see what Perodua has to counter offer.
0-50 km/h, ahaha
So misleading…0 to 100km…ish ish ish…and the range…good luck!
still it accelerates faster than myvi correct?
The Xingyuan’s 0-100kph is 9.9 seconds, so still quicker than Myvi 1.5, Vios and City.
Gomen : CBU EV need RM100k floor price
Protong : CBU e.Mas 5 is RM69k
Gomen : nice
Gomen : Also, I’ll pretend not to see that.
Now Perodua just needs to come out with a sub 50k Myvi EV equivalent.
The problem with EV is that it has a bad resale value because the technology will change quickly.
Resale value is a big criterion in M’sia BC cars have always been overpriced ever since Proton stepped onto the scene. But things will, ironically, change now with this kind of pricing by … Proton. I don’t mind paying 60k for a brand new city car that’ll be good for 5 to 8 years. Resale value? Not a big consideration, especially since maintenance will be much lower than fir an ICE car. Winds of change are blowing.
Range is too short.
And it will keep getting shorter as battery gets older .
No resale value means banks need to be really careful on loans. It will depreciate as fast as any electrical appliance.
More like an expensive full size “toy” car instead of a car…good luck to those early adopters!
Like the eMas7 prime 345km range, actual range < 300km. 225km range only suitable for very short distance drive, after 180km battery will shown < 10%.
Buy the usable prime rm70k else rm50k buy bezza or myvi better.
Yum yum finally an ev many can afford
225km range? It would run out of battery in 200km. Where can it go?
better than Mazda MX30 with just 199KM range at price 199K lol
Any advertised WLTP, real world you need to minus 20% off. For Premium, you are looking at around 260km range for 100% battery level. If you minus another 20% off before you recharge, you are looking at around 80% useable range of 208km. No one going to drive to 0% range as it’s bad for the battery.
So for those folks who plan to buy this, it’s a good day to day car with the 208 km range. Just have to top up every 1 or 2 days, you will be good. For outstation, you just have to plan more frequent stop along the highway chargers but i would says, it’s more for daily driving.
ni beli Motosikal 125cc lagi baik oh, ni untuk org kaya guna, lagi mau ingat battery 5 tahun lepas tentu drop .
310km only RM40,000 in China, what a rip off. Support Tesla
Is the top speed below 99kmh? Why no 0-100kmh time?
Normally you stop charging at 80%, so this model range is 100+km for low spec and 200+km for high spec effectively.
true and if drive at highway speed the range will drastically decrease which means top spec range only around 150km
The perfect 2nd car for city commute!
