Verdict
At RM69,999, the Perodua QV-E costs RM10,199 more than the RM59,800 Proton eMas 5, but brings 201 hp, a 52.5 kWh battery and 370 km of range against 77 hp, 30.12 kWh and 225 km. It is the stronger long-distance and driver-assistance choice, while the eMas 5 answers with a 375-litre boot, rear air vents and a much lower RM30 annual road tax. Budget carefully: the QV-E also carries a RM215 monthly BaaS battery rental, inclusive of tax, for nine years.
The QV-E FWD (with battery) (RM93,999) sits above every eMas 5 variant here, so the verdict compares the closest-priced pairing — use the selectors above to match any two trims.
Pick the Perodua QV-E if you need 370 km of range, 201 hp performance and adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go and steering assist.
Pick the Proton eMas 5 if a RM59,800 entry price, RM30 yearly road tax and a 375-litre boot matter more than outright pace and range.
