Overview

The e.MAS 5 is a five-seat electric hatchback, built on a Geely-developed platform and assembled in Malaysia at Proton’s Tanjung Malim plant. It comes in two trims: the Prime runs a 30.12 kWh CATL LFP battery for 78 hp and 225 km of WLTP range, priced from RM59,800 (about $14,600). The Premium steps up to a 40.16 kWh pack, 114 hp and 325 km, from RM72,800 (about $17,800).

Both trims are front-wheel drive with a single-ratio automatic and charge 10-80% in roughly 4.3 hours on AC, or 30-80% in about 21 minutes on a DC fast charger. Neither figure competes on the spec sheet with pricier EVs - the e.MAS 5 is built to a cost target, not a range record.

It is Proton’s volume electric model: more than 13,000 units registered in Malaysia over the first seven months of 2026, ahead of every other electric car sold in the country, including Proton’s own e.MAS 7 SUV.
