The full specifications for Proton e.MAS 7 PHEV has been revealed by Proton’s New Energy Vehicle (NEV) division, Pro-Net. As it turns out, the version that is coming to Malaysia has slightly better specifications than the global model – at least, for one of the variants.
Unfortunately, we are only able to show you the camouflaged version for now. But don’t worry – you will get to see more of the new PHEV very soon as the new model will be available for booking on 13 January.
By better specs, we mean the LFP battery that was fitted into the top-spec variant, e.MAS 7 PHEV Premium+, which has a 29.8kWh battery. It allows this particular variant to deliver an NEDC-rated pure EV range of 170km or 146km according to WLTP standards.
As for the combined range, the NEDC-rated range for the Premium+ version is 1,065km while its WLTP range is 996km. In addition to having a larger battery capacity, the e.MAS 7 PHEV Premium+ also supports a faster DC charging speed at 60kW that allows its high-voltage battery to be charged from 30% to 80% in less than 16 minutes.
On a related note, the 29.8kWh battery has also been fitted into the highest-end option for the 2026 Geely Galaxy Starship 7 EM-I, which is e.MAS 7 PHEV’s twin in China. Geely listed the 30% to 80% DC charging time for the Chinese Domestic Market (CDM) model as 15 minutes, but didn’t reveal the actual DC charging speed.
The Premium+ is also the only e.MAS 7 PHEV variant to be offered with panoramic sunroof and sunshade.
Meanwhile, the e.MAS 7 PHEV Prime and Premium have the same battery capacity as per the global model – the Starray/EX5/E5 DM-i, which is 18.4kWh. They also share the same range rating:
Unlike their Premium+ counterpart, the DC charging speed for both variants is much slower at 30kW. It takes around 20 minutes to charge their high-voltage from 30% to 80% through DC charging.
You may have noticed it from the picture, and it is true: the e.MAS 7 PHEV is physically larger than the fully-electric e.MAS 7. Essentially, the PHEV model is longer, wider, taller, and heavier than its BEV sibling.
In addition to that, the e.MAS 7 PHEV also has a much larger boot space than the e.MAS 7. You can compare their dimensions right here:

Despite the differences in battery capacity and DC charging speed, all three e.MAS 7 PHEV variants come with the same powertrain as their twins for the global market. It consists of a 73kW (98hp) 1.5L naturally-aspirated 4-cylinder engine with 125Nm of torque, that is paired with a 160kW (215hp) electric motor that also produces 262Nm of torque.
The powertrain provides e.MAS 7 PHEV with a maximum output of 193kW (259hp) alongside a maximum torque of 262Nm. Also comes with a 51L fuel tank, Pro-Net listed the SUV’s fuel consumption as 4.3L per 100km for Prime and Premium variant while Premium+ is slightly different at 4.4L per 100km.
Performance-wise, the e.MAS 7 PHEV has a 0-100km/h timing of 8.0s to 8.2s depending on the variant. The SUV’s maximum speed is electronically limited to 170km/h.
In terms of suspension, all variants have a McPherson strut on the front and a multi-link setup on the back. Pro-Net also claimed that the model has a turning radius of 5.2m, despite its size.
All three variants of e.MAS 7 PHEV supports single-phase AC charging with a speed of up to 6.6kW. Similar to its BEV counterpart, the e.MAS 7, the PHEV SUV also has Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) and Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) capabilities, although the output speed was not mentioned in the specs sheet.
The similarities between the three variants of e.MAS 7 PHEV didn’t just stop at the powertrain, performance figures, suspension setup, and AC charging. Here are other features shared by them:
As the base-spec variant of the family, the e.MAS 7 PHEV Prime has several features missing from it. By several, we mean a lot…just take a look at the list below:
Several ADAS features are absent on the base-spec model too such as the Emergency Lane Keep Assist (ELKA), Rear Collision Warning (RCW), Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA), Rear Cross Traffic Braking (RCTB), Lane Change Safety Warning (LCW), Blind Spot Detection (BSD), and Door Open Warning (DOW).
The Prime variant has also been equipped with 18-inch wheels as opposed to the 19-inch wheels on the Premium and Premium+. We have yet to see it in real life ourselves, but judging from what Proton has opted for e.MAS 7, the e.MAS 7 PHEV Prime will most probably be fitted with lower-end tyres than the Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance SUV tyres on Premium and Premium+.
Not to forget, the e.MAS 7 Prime only comes with a basic 6-speaker audio system. This is unlike the Premium and Premium+, which have a 16-speaker Flyme Audio sound system, inclusive of headrest speakers for the driver.
