Proton eMas 7 – 7,413 units sold, including 459 exports; 10 months as Malaysia’s best-selling EV

Aside from the strong response for the recently-launched eMas 5, Proton has also announced that the larger eMas 7 continues to be Malaysia’s best-selling EV, with 7,413 units sold since it was launched in December 2024. The car has held the title for ten months straight, the national carmaker claims.

The total figure includes 6,954 units sold domestically and 459 units exported to markets such as Nepal, Trinidad and Tobago and Singapore as of October 31, contributing to the company’s target of selling 6,000 vehicles outside of Malaysia this year. It launched the eMas 7 in Mauritius, the car’s fourth export market, last month.

As good a news as this is, the eMas 7 will almost certainly not hold the crown as the country’s #1 EV for long. The new eMas 5 has assumed the mantle of Malaysia’s cheapest EV, costing a fraction of its larger sibling with prices starting from RM56,800.

The car has now amassed over 10,000 bookings since its launch on October 30, meaning that it has the potential to overtake the eMas 7’s sales in one fell swoop. And then, of course, there is the elephant in the room that is Perodua’s new EV, which may be introduced at the end of this month and provide some strong competition to both cars. Still, enjoy it while it lasts and all that.

    nothing to be proud of. When you handicapp the rest of the competition and claim the trophy, nobody claps for you.

      but but EV owner very brag about their 300 bhp with 0-100km time of 6 secs. they sometimes forget that if want to overtake myvi driving at 170 kmph in fast lane it will effectively halve their range from 400km down to 200km .
