Instead of developing its own model, proton (in Malaysia) chose to buy the copy of the model from the Chinese brand. Therefore, the new proton eMas 7 model of the company is almost identical to the Geely Galaxy E5 model (China), only the logo is different.
The lowest price belongs to the standard Prime version (24,700 USD - about 628 million VND), while the premium high-end version costs 27,800 USD (about 706 million VND). According to the company, for the first 3,000 customers, proton will discount 900 USD for each version.
Both versions are equipped with a front electric motor with a capacity of 214 horsepower and 320 Nm of torque, helping the car accelerate from 0-100 km/h in just 6.9 seconds, with a maximum speed of 175 km/h. With this speed, the proton eMas 7 model has become the fastest proton to accelerate.
Prime version uses Geely's LFP Aegis battery, with a capacity of 49.52 kWh for a WLTP standard operating range of up to 345 km. In the Premium version, the company uses a 60.22 kWh battery providing an operating range of up to 410 km.
proton said that internal tests show that after 921 full charge and discharge cycles (equivalent to a travel distance of 400,000 km), the battery condition is still at 90.5%, far exceeding international standards.
Both versions support AC charging at a maximum rate of 11 kW. The Prime version takes up to 4.9 hours to fully charge, while the Premium version takes 6.1 hours. Both versions can charge from 30-80% in just 20 minutes. The company also said that the car can run an additional 135 km after just 10 minutes of charging.
The eMas 7 integrates a live charging map in the entertainment system, displaying more than 1,700 charging ports from leading suppliers in Malaysia (accounting for 85% of the total number of charging ports in this country). The car is also equipped with a level 2 driver assistance system - this is also the first time proton has equipped the highest level of safety for all versions.
