Verdict
The Proton eMas 7 Premium costs RM16,000 more, and that money chiefly buys a 60.22-kWh battery for 410 km of range instead of 49.52 kWh and 345 km. Its 100-kW DC charging also betters the Prime’s 80 kW, while 19-inch wheels, a panoramic sliding sunroof, ventilated memory front seats and a head-up display make it the more complete long-distance choice. The Prime retains the same 215-hp, 320-Nm front motor and 6.9-second sprint, so it is the sensible pick if 345 km covers your routine.
Pick the Proton eMas 7 Prime if 345 km of EV range is enough and you want the same 215-hp performance for RM16,000 less.
Pick the Proton eMas 7 Premium if the extra 65 km of range, faster 100-kW DC charging and richer cabin kit justify the outlay.
