Verdict
At RM103,800, the Proton eMas 7 is RM3,000 below the Proton X90 and brings a 215 hp, 320 Nm front motor, 49.52 kWh battery and 345 km EV range. It also has 461 litres of boot space and a longer six-year vehicle warranty. The X90’s case is simple: its 4,830 mm D-segment body carries seven people, not five, with a 60-litre petrol tank. For a smaller household able to charge, the eMas 7 is the sharper buy; large families need the X90’s third row.
Pick the Proton eMas 7 if you can charge an EV and want 345 km of rated range, 461 litres of boot space and active safety features including autonomous braking.
Pick the Proton X90 if carrying up to seven people matters more than EV charging, boot capacity or driver-assistance equipment.
