The Proton eMas 7 PHEV has been sighted in public once again, this time through an image posted to the Proton eMas 7 Owners Malaysia Facebook group by an anonymous group participant. This latest sighting comes almost two weeks since the last sighting earlier this month.
The eMas 7 PHEV, like its battery-electric relation, goes by different names depending on the market it enters. Known as the Galaxy Starship EM-i in China, the plug-in hybrid SUV is known as the EX5 EM-i in Australia, and as the Starray EM-i in Indonesia where it made its debut in July this year.
Referencing the Australian-market model, the powertrain for the plug-in hybrid SUV is a 99 PS/125 Nm 1.5 litre BHE15PFI internal combustion engine and a 218 PS/320 Nm electric motor, the latter drawing from an 18.4 kWh LFP battery. Claimed 0-100 km/h time is eight seconds, with a 170 km/h top speed.
Claimed range is 943 km combined, or 84 km of EV-only range (both figures WLTP), while consumption figures are 2.4 litres per 100 km and 14.7 kWh per 100 km. Charging the EX5 EM-i can be done at up to 7 kW AC, and 30 kW DC, while also being capable of 6 kW V2L power supply. Luggage capacity is 428 litres, or up to 2,065 litres with the rear seats folded.
In terms of safety features, the model Down Under gets AEB, ACC, ICC, rear cross traffic alert and brake, lane keep assist, traffic sign recognition, door opening warning, lane changing assist, blind spot detection, emergency lane keeping assist, occupant detection alert and driver fatigue alert.

I am very much looking forward for this car.. heck yeahhh!!!
I can save even more
than paying RM1.99/L
with malayasian budi95 petrol one of the cheapest in entire world why do we still need PHEV. just put a normal petrol turbo engine , and forget about EV or hybrid
EV and PHEV are no longer just about cost of ownership.
It is being lifestyle, self sufficient to charge at home and enjoy the EV drive train.
Is like why buy an expensive Iphone when a cheaper Xiaomi can do the same job, but buyers’ taste have shifted looking beyond cost of ownership.. They want the latest tech..
Xiaomi get AI Hyper OS and more Ai function, not like 1 trying to do isolated tech. The 17 Pro Max with the rear screen is like the Apple’s Watch Ultra/Ultra Island built behind, 2in1. It’s more like a tech Apple not yet capable to optimize for production. Apple’s Watch Ultra’s battery life also miserable if compared to other others Smart Watch, some now Ai Watch.
People buy Xiaomi now is about latest tech, not the same job.
This car is more comfortable and powerful than Proton X70 and several other mainstream premium SUV, also comes with more tech such as V2L output can use for Performance Laptop/Projector/Camping Equipment getaway etc.
Do you mean you still prefer to pay for the Proton X70 1.5tgdi or other for less?
Must well straight away fit BHE15PFI into eMAS5 chassis sell rm60k sapu the market.
Meh, bukan kereta kita pun
Might as well rebrand this as Proton X70.
