Proton eMas sub-brand sold 3,276 units in Jan 2026 as eMas 5 deliveries in full force – top EV brand here

Proton has announced it delivered a total of 3,276 eMas cars to customers in the month of January 2026, which averages out to over 100 units a day.

According to data from the road transport department (JPJ), 8,890 Proton electric vehicles (EVs) were registered in 2025. With the January 2026 result, the brand is roughly 36.9% on its way to meeting last year’s sales total. It’s also worth noting last month’s figure nearly triples the 1,106 units reported for December 2025 (the sub-brand’s best single-month result last year).

The eMas 7 has been well received since its launch in December 2024, making up the large majority of Proton’s EV sales in 2025. Next came the eMas 5 in October 2025, while the locally-assembled (CKD) version of the eMas 7 went on sale this month with a spec upgrade and lower pricing compared to the fully-imported (CBU) version sold previously.

Come February 4 (this Wednesday), Proton will introduce its first plug-in hybrid (PHEV) offering, the eMas 7 PHEV, which will come in three variants and is estimated to cost between RM110,000 and RM130,000.

    3,000 units in a single month! Proton e.MAS is officially holding its own against the tech giants like BYD, Chery Icar and Xpeng.

    This massive volume proves that Malaysian buyers have evolved— looking for sophisticated, high-tech and comfortable space, and want them now.

      you mean – “Geely is officially holding its own against the tech giants like BYD, Chery Icar and Xpeng.”

    P1 dan P2 masih relevan kepada rakyat marhaen ke? kereta P1 dan P2 lebih mahal dari kereta rebadge asal. Sudah tak masuk akal dah.
