Spied again: is Proton’s eMas 5 finally ready to launch?

The Proton eMas 5 Returns – This Time in RHD Form!

Proton’s long-rumoured eMas 5 has been spotted once again, and this time, it’s wearing Right-Hand Drive (RHD) configuration—fueling even more speculation that a Malaysian launch is imminent. The electric SUV, based on the Geely Galaxy E5, has now been seen testing multiple times, and each sighting edges us closer to its official debut.

So… is the wait finally over?

Electric Dreams: What We Know So Far

The eMas 5 is expected to be Proton’s next major leap into the electric vehicle (EV) segment. Previously sighted in heavy camouflage, this latest sighting confirms several exciting details:

• RHD configuration = local readiness

• Sleek full-width LED light bar

• Aerodynamic design cues borrowed from Geely’s EV portfolio

• Potentially a 160 kW (214 hp) motor with up to 530 km range

If Proton stays true to its value-for-money ethos, the eMas 5 could seriously shake up the EV market in Malaysia—especially for first-time buyers.

When Will It Launch?

While Proton has yet to make any official announcements, sources within the industry are buzzing about a possible Q4 2025 debut. This timeline would make perfect sense, as Proton aims to challenge BYD and Tesla’s growing dominance in Malaysia.
