Verdict
The RM6,000 step from the Proton eMas 7 Premium to the Premium Plus is a sensible one for drivers who value fewer charging stops and better front-seat comfort. The Premium Plus adds an 8.17 kWh larger 68.39 kWh battery, lifting claimed range from 410 km to 450 km, while its DC charging ceiling rises from 100 kW to 115 kW. Performance does not change: both are front-wheel-drive, 215 hp, 320 Nm EVs with a 6.9-second 0-100 km/h time. For shorter daily use, the Premium keeps the same core equipment and safety suite for less.
Pick the Proton eMas 7 Premium if 410 km of claimed range meets your routine and you would rather save RM6,000 than pay for the larger battery and upgraded front seats.
Pick the Proton eMas 7 Premium Plus if the extra 40 km of claimed range, 115 kW DC charging and massaging front seats justify RM6,000 more.
