Proton eMAS 7: Specs Unveiled, RM120k Starting Price - A Game Changer?
Alright, let's get this straight: Proton just dropped a bomb with their new eMAS 7 and it's definitely turning heads. This electric SUV is looking to shake things up in the Malaysian market with its sleek design, impressive specs, and surprisingly affordable price tag. But is it the game-changer Proton hopes it'll be? Let's break down the details.
What's Under the Hood?
The eMAS 7 is powered by a 70 kWh battery pack, providing a range of up to 450 km on a single charge. That's enough juice to get you from Kuala Lumpur to Penang with some juice left to spare! It's also packed with 150 kW of power and 350 Nm of torque, making it pretty quick off the line. We're talking a 0-100 km/h time of just 6.9 seconds – not bad for a family-friendly SUV!
Features That'll Wow You
Proton hasn't skimped on the features either. This bad boy comes standard with a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and a 15-inch touchscreen infotainment system, plus advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) like lane keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, and automatic emergency braking. You also get a panoramic sunroof and leather upholstery, so you can ride in style.
Price That's Hard to Beat
Here's where it gets really interesting. The Proton eMAS 7 is priced starting at RM120,000. That's cheaper than many of its competitors, especially considering its impressive specs. It's definitely a tempting proposition for anyone looking for an electric SUV that won't break the bank.
The Big Question: Is it Worth It?
Honestly, it's a bit early to say definitively. We'll need to see how it performs in real-world driving conditions and get a better understanding of the long-term ownership experience. But based on the specs and price alone, the Proton eMAS 7 looks like a serious contender. It's a bold move by Proton, and it could very well be the electric car that finally gets Malaysians excited about going green.
