Proton has announced that it has delivered 216 units of its new eMas 5 as of December 31, just over two months from its October 30 launch. The cars were all handed over to their new owners – including our very own Hafriz Shah – at the end of the final month, closing the year on a high. The national carmaker has a mountain of orders to clear, having amassed over 14,600 bookings thus far. The entry-level EV joins the eMas 7, which found 9,336 homes last year, including 8,677 units domestically and 659 units in export markets. This means that by the end of 2025, there are a total of 9,549 eMas vehicles on the road around the world – the vast majority in Malaysia, of course. Pro-Net CEO Zhang Qiang said: “2025 marked an important head start for Proton eMas, not just in terms of growth, but in the real-world impact our vehicles are making every day. With 9,549 eMas vehicles now in operation, we are seeing how our eMas owners can contribute to cleaner air, quieter journeys and reduced fuel consumption through ordinary driving. “As we move into 2026, our focus remains on building on this head start by expanding our electricofferings, strengthening charging and after-sales support, and ensuring that electric mobility remainspractical, accessible and rewarding wherever our vehicles operate.” To recap, the eMas 5 is available in two variants, priced at RM56,800 for the Prime and RM69,800 for the Premium once the RM3,000 launch rebate is applied. Power comes from a single motor that produces 79 PS (58 kW) and 130 Nm of torque on the Prime and 116 PS (85 kW) and 150 Nm on the Premium. As for batteries, the Prime utilises a 30.12 kWh CATL lithium iron phosphate (LFP) unit for a range of just 225 km on the WLTP cycle, while the Premium’s 40.16 kWh pack delivers a more useful 325 km. The pure electric models are just the start for the eMas brand – the company is set to launch the eMas 7 PHEV soon. The SUV, based on the Geely Galaxy Starship 7/Starray EM-i/EX5 EM-i, has already been previewed at last month’s Proton Tech Showcase and will feature a 218 PS/262 Nm electric motor juiced by a 99 PS/125 Nm 1.5 litre naturally-aspirated engine, along with a 18.4 kWh Aegis short blade lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery delivering a pure electric range of 83 km.
