Proton e.MAS 7 PHEV Specs Detailed – 3 Variants, Up to 1,065 km NEDC Range

Detailed specifications for the new Proton e.MAS 7 PHEV has been revealed, featuring three variants with 1,065 km of range.

Detailed specifications for the upcoming Proton e.MAS 7 PHEV has been revealed, weeks after its first public debut at the Proton Tech Showcase. Billed as Malaysia’s first dual-powered EV, this plug-in hybrid (PHEV) C-segment SUV comes in three variants, while boasting up to 1,065 km of combined travel range.

Those three variants are named Prime, Premium, and Premium+, with the former two sharing the same 18.4 kWh LFP battery pack from CATL, which Proton claims is good enough for up to 105 km of pure electric range (NEDC). Charging-wise, these two entry-level variants support both AC 6.6 kW and DC 30 kW, with the latter enabling a 30–80% charge to complete in under 20 minutes.

The top-spec e.MAS 7 PHEV Premium+ benefits from Geely’s own 29.8 kWh Aegis ‘Short Blade’ LFP battery pack that in itself can provide up to 170 km of EV-only range (NEDC). While its AC charging is still capped at 6.6 kW, the Premium+ gets a faster 60 kW DC charging that sees a 30-80% charging completion in less than 16 minutes.

Regardless of variants, all e.MAS 7 PHEV models share the same powertrain setup, comprising a 1.5-litre 4-cyl EM-i dedicated hybrid engine that boasts a segment-leading thermal efficiency of 46.5%. By itself, this engine is capable of delivering 98 hp (73 kW) and 125 Nm, plus a low fuel efficiency of 4.3 litres per 100 km. As for the electrified part, the e.MAS 7 PHEV’s electric drive motor is integrated into the 11-in-1 dedicated hybrid transmission (DHT), rated at 215 hp (160 kW) and 262 Nm.

Combined, the whole PHEV setup is rated at 259 hp (193 kW) and 262 Nm, while its 51-litre petrol tank is good enough for up to 1,000 km of range (NEDC) for the two lower-specced variants and up to 1,065 km (NEDC) for the top-spec Premium+.

Typical fashion of a modern PHEV, the e.MAS 7 PHEV comes with three distinct drive modes—Pure, Hybrid, and Power. In Pure mode, the car drives entirely on the electric motor and battery, giving drivers an EV-like driving experience, while the Hybrid mode seamlessly switches between electric power, petrol power, or a combination of both for optimal efficiency. The Power mode, on the other hand, works similarly to the Hybrid mode, but with the emphasis on power rather than efficiency.

The e.MAS 7 PHEV gets the same rounded SUV bodystyle as its BEV twin, while featuring some distinct design elements and a slightly larger footprint.

While the displayed unit here is still wrapped in camouflage, we can talk about a few details regarding the design of the e.MAS 7 PHEV. At one glance, this PHEV SUV looks quite similar in style to its pure electric twin, the e.MAS 7 EV, while featuring some distinct design cues to differentiate it enough. Standard exterior bits for the base-spec e.MAS 7 PHEV Prime includes full LED headlights with intelligent high beam control (IHBC), sharp LED DRLs, 3D full-width LED taillights, built-in roof rails, powered side mirrors, and 18-inch wheels.

The Premium variant ups the ante with a full-width light bar at the front, a powered tailgate, auto-foldable door mirrors, and larger 19-inch wheels, while the top-spec Premium+ gets the extra panoramic sunroof with sunshade.

Dimension-wise, the e.MAS 7 PHEV is slightly bigger than its EV twin, spanning 4,740 mm long, 1,940 mm wide, and 1,685 mm tall with a generous wheelbase of 2,755 mm. Its bulky facade also allows for a large 528-litre boot space that expands to 2,065 litres with the rear seats folded down.

Again, no interior images were shared for now, but the spec sheets did say that all variants of the e.MAS 7 PHEV will get the same dual-screen setup, featuring a 10.2-inch LCD instrument cluster and a larger 15.4-inch infotainment screen that supports both wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, as well as Proton e.MAS’ own integrated live charging map.

Predictably, the Prime gets the most basic interior bits, including a six-speaker audio system, manual-adjustable seats wrapped in leatherette upholstery, and manual A/C. Both the Premium and Premium+ variants again up the ante with powered and ventilated front seats, a head-up display (HUD), a 256-colour ambient lighting system, a 16-speaker Flyme Sound audio system, a retractable tonneau cover, auto A/C with an N95 cabin filter, a wireless charger, and more.

Also differentiating the Prime against both the Premium and Premium+ variants are the safety features, with the former featuring six airbags, rear parking sensors, a rear-view-only camera, and basic Level 2 ADAS functions like Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB), Forward Collision Warning (FCW), Emergency Brake Assist (EBA), Lane Departure Warning (LDW), Lane Departure Prevention (LDP), Leading Vehicle Departure Alert (LVDA), and Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR).

The two top-spec models get extra safety bits like eight airbags, a 360-degree camera system, front and rear parking sensors, as well as extra ADAS functions like 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).
