Malaysia’s electric-vehicle scene is about to get exciting. The Proton e.MAS 5, the national carmaker’s first fully electric hatchback, has been unveiled in full body colour giving Malaysians their best look yet at Proton’s bold entry into the EV era.
While the official launch and price announcement take place on 30 October, this early reveal gives a clear glimpse of what’s set to be Malaysia’s most affordable EV, estimated between RM60k for the Prime and RM80k for the Premium variant.
Proton Steps Confidently into the EV Market
The e.MAS 5 marks a new milestone for Proton as it accelerates into the electric future under its e.MAS (Electric Mobility Advance Series) brand. Designed with practicality and innovation in mind, the compact hatch is aimed at first-time EV owners seeking style, simplicity, and value.
Proton e.MAS 5 Is A Friendly, Futuristic Design
Compact yet expressive, the e.MAS 5 features a rounded “jelly-bean” profile with aerodynamic lines and a clean, grille-less front end. Its design language reflects Proton’s modern identity — simple, youthful, and efficient.
Details such as swept-back LED headlamps, chrome vertical front accents, and black-roof styling (on the Premium) give the hatch a futuristic edge. A new “shooting-star” interior light pattern complements the look, creating a playful yet elegant cabin atmosphere.
Proton e.MAS 5 Performance and Range: What to Expect
The Proton e.MAS 5 uses a rear-mounted single-motor setup with two battery configurations:
- Prime variant: 79 PS (58 kW) / 130 Nm torque • 30.12 kWh LFP battery • 225 km (WLTP) range
- Premium variant: 116 PS (85 kW) / 150 Nm torque • 40.16 kWh LFP battery • 325 km (WLTP) range
Top speed is rated at 125 km/h for the Prime and 135 km/h for the Premium — ideal for daily commutes and weekend city drives.
Proton e.MAS 5 Charging Made Easy
All variants support 6.6 kW AC charging via wallbox and up to 71 kW DC fast charging on the Premium. A 30 to 80 percent top-up takes roughly 21 minutes, ensuring quick turnarounds for urban users.
Whether you charge at home or at Malaysia’s expanding public network, the e.MAS 5 is designed for simplicity and efficiency.
Proton e.MAS 5 Colours and Style Choices
Five vibrant colours reflect the youthful personality of Proton’s first EV:
Moonstone White, Graphite Silver, Slate Grey, and Premium-exclusive shades Marble Cream and Quartz Rose.
Each complements the e.MAS 5’s smooth silhouette and playful proportions, letting owners add a personal touch to their first electric drive.
