Verdict
At RM103,800 versus RM106,800, the Proton eMas 7 is RM3,000 cheaper yet has the stronger output: 215 hp against the Proton X70’s 178 hp, plus a quoted 6.9-second 0-100 km/h time. It is the EV play, with a 49.5 kWh battery and 345 km range. The X70 answers with petrol familiarity, a 60-litre tank and the bigger boot, 515 litres versus 461 litres. Both are five-seat C-segment SUVs with front-wheel drive and six airbags, so the choice is more about energy source and space than size class.
Pick the Proton eMas 7 if you want the cheaper, quicker EV with 215 hp, 345 km range and a longer six-year warranty.
Pick the Proton X70 if you want a petrol C-segment SUV with a 60-litre tank, 515-litre boot and lower RM120 annual road tax.
