PRO-NET, a subsidiary of national automaker PROTON, has announced that the Proton e.MAS 5, Malaysia’s first affordable EV, has achieved 3,000 bookings in just the first week of open bookings, including a remarkable 1,607 bookings within the first 24 hours.
The Proton e.MAS 5’s strong debut builds on the market confidence established by its sibling, the Proton e.MAS 7. The e.MAS 7 continues to lead Malaysia’s EV market in 2025. As of 30 September 2025, cumulative sales have reached 6,655 units, with 6,212 sold locally and 443 exported. This cements the e.MAS 7 as Malaysia’s No.1 EV for nine months, with an EV market share of 24%.
“We are in the month where two milestones were achieved – the strong sales of the Proton e.MAS 7 and the great interest that Malaysians have shown in the e.MAS 5,” said Mr. Zhang Qiang, CEO of PRO-NET. “The booking numbers exceeded our expectations. We are thankful that Malaysians continue to put their trust in us to deliver electric vehicles specifically tailored for Malaysia’s road and driving habits.”
With the Proton e.MAS 5 joining the line-up soon, PRO-NET continues to offer high-quality, high-technology electric vehicles at a price friendly to more budgets. While the Proton e.MAS 5 has a tentative price range of RM60,000 to RM80,000. The B-segment EV hatchback is equipped with features, technology, and driving experience of cars above its price range.
Blending Smart Urban Design, Spacious Interior, and Practical Daily Usability
The Proton e.MAS 5 blends a compact B-segment exterior for easy city maneuvering with a spacious C-segment interior, featuring a flat rear floor, wide rear doors, and flexible storage for daily errands and weekend trips. Its smart urban features such as the 14.6” FHD display head unit, ATLAS Auto OS, wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay, and the Proton e.MAS App ensures convenience and connected driving.
With a WLTP range of 325 km, fast-charging capability, and cost-effective running and maintenance compared to petrol vehicles, the e.MAS 5 is ideal for urban commutes, school runs, and lifestyle trips.
