Proton e.MAS 5

The Proton e.MAS 5 is the smaller of the two battery-electric models in the e.MAS range. Proton launched it in autumn 2025 and describes it as Malaysia's most affordable battery-electric car.

Battery and range

Both variants use an LFP battery from CATL, and Proton cites a cell energy density of 185 Wh/kg. The Prime has 30.12 kWh and a WLTP range of 225 km, while the Premium has 40.16 kWh and 325 km. The page notes that real range depends on driving style and traffic, so the quoted figures are a guide rather than a promise. Power goes to the rear wheels through an 11-in-1 electric motor, and the Premium is listed as reaching 50 km/h from standstill in 3.9 seconds.

Charging and app

For DC fast charging the page gives 30 to 80 percent in 21 minutes, without a kilowatt figure. The e.MAS app includes a live charging map and voice control, in English and Bahasa Malaysia, to find more than 95 percent of Malaysian chargers.

Equipment

Both variants have a 14.6 inch display, six airbags and a 70 litre front storage compartment. The Premium adds a 360 degree camera with a 3D view, driver assistance functions, a powered tailgate and LED headlights.

Charging at home and in public

Proton lists home chargers of 7 kW and 22 kW for single or three phase supply, and public DC fast charging is quoted at over 200 km of range in 20 minutes.

Price

Launch prices in Malaysia, on the road without insurance and effective from 17 May 2026, are RM56,800 for the Prime and RM69,800 for the Premium.
