Verdict
At RM103,800, the Proton eMas 7 costs RM14,000 more than the RM89,800 Proton X50, but it brings a 345 km EV range, 461-litre boot and substantially longer 2,750 mm wheelbase. Its 215 hp/320 Nm motor also reaches 100 km/h in 6.9 seconds, versus 7.6 seconds for the X50. The X50 is the lower-entry choice for buyers who prefer petrol, with a 45-litre tank and RM120 annual road tax; the eMas 7’s road tax is RM200. For cabin and luggage space, plus the listed active-safety systems, pay the difference.
Pick the Proton eMas 7 if you want a 345 km EV range, a 461-litre boot and autonomous braking with steering-correction lane keeping.
Pick the Proton X50 if you want to spend RM14,000 less upfront and prefer its 1.5-litre turbo petrol drivetrain with a 45-litre fuel tank.
