Proton eMAS 5 launched - This could be the game changing vehicle that brings EV to the Malaysian masses

Last week,  PROTON launched the Proton e.MAS 5, which is the cheapest brand new EV on sale in Malaysia to date. This could be the catalyst for the EV market here in Malaysia as it brings affordability coming in from RM59,800 for the Prime and RM72,800 before any insurance for the loaded Premium variant. With it, brings affordability to the EV market and with anything, especially when after all the first adopters have bought their EVs, comes this second wave to try capture the sceptics and those first adopters with shallower pockets. As on a personal note, I believe the first adopters buying new energy vehicles over RM100,000 is now on a decline.

VIDEO: First impressions after test driving the upcoming 2026 PROTON e.MAS 5 EV B segment Hatchback - If Proton sells it at around the price they said they would, it will be a good first EV for most people

New video alert! This is our impressions and opinions after Proton allowed us a go with the upcoming (as at upload) 2025 2026 Proton e.MAS 5 battery electric vehicle (BEV). Do note that the test drive was under strict embargo rules so they unfortunately had a non stickered eMAS 5 out beside the stickered one and only allowed us to show the stickered one. It made footage hard. So you will only see me babbling on about the car. But if you want to know my opinion, this is it.

This is based on the Geely Star Wish and it set to be priced between 60k - 80k Malaysian Ringgit.
