The Geely EX2/E2/Xingyuan has finally been crash-tested, two full years after its 2024 birth in China. Sold in Malaysia as the Proton eMas 5, the little EV gets the full five stars from both the European New Car Assessment Programme (Euro NCAP) and the Australasian New Car Assessment Programme (ANCAP).
Just like the Geely EX5/Galaxy E5’s five-star Euro NCAP and ANCAP performance in April 2025, this rating may not necessarily apply to the Proton eMas 5 because the EX2 tested here is the updated one (launched in Australia in July) with a front centre airbag (which the Proton doesn’t have) for a total of seven, and auto brake for the rear cross traffic alert (RCTA).
Our Proton eMas 5 has six airbags and although RCTA is standard, it has no rear AEB. The Proton has yet to be crash-tested by the New Car Assessment Programme for Southeast Asian Countries (ASEAN NCAP).
Both Euro NCAP and ANCAP rated the vehicle 79% for safe driving, 72% for crash avoidance, 86% for crash protection and 95% for post-crash safety. Some noteworthy points from Euro NCAP include an AEB that scored “almost full marks in some and less than half in others”, poor driver’s leg protection due to pedal intrusion, and a seat belt that “partially slipped off the shoulder of the 10-year child dummy”.
Meanwhile, ANCAP noted that “some functions rely too heavily on interaction with the vehicle’s central screen interface”, that the ACC was unable to adapt for roundabouts and intersections, and that “low-speed collision avoidance performance was mixed.”
Still, the overall full five-star safety rating stands, and you can pore through the full results below in the gallery.

ADAS is for lousy drivers i dont even trust my adaptive cruise control!
see the name? “firdaus”. every 10 mat rempit there are more than 5 named firdaus. they piss on safety even before getting driving license :)
U never assume making fun of other people’s name will make u a cool guy.
Better put down ur real name unless inferiority complex is beyond imagination
since when active cruise control must be able to handle roundabouts?
the undercarriage has no damage even after the side pole test… does it mean it is over engineered? if it doesn’t give in even an inch to protect the battery, then the top frame will have the take all the impact
Why Proton is using a left hand side driver to test?
Shouldn’t the crash test to be right handed ?
Edward, look at the title. This test was done on the Geely EX2. Not the Proton e.MAS 5. Since it’s the Geely version of the car, it’s tested on the driver side native to the country that it is sold in.
Proton has not crashed tested our e.MAS 5 yet. When they finally decide to do so, then we can see a right-hand drive model.
