With the embargo on Proton eMas 5 drive impressions now lifted, we can finally show you the Flint Grey interior colour option for the entry-level electric hatchback. This is the standard hue that will be offered, given that the flashier Alabaster White is only applied to cars painted in Marble Cream and Quartz Rose \u2013 both reserved for the top-spec Premium.<\/p>\n

It should be noted that while the grey is obviously much darker, it does not entirely read as black, unlike the Indigo Blue on the eMas 7. The (very slightly) lighter hue covers the steering wheel grips, airbag boss, seats and armrests, while the lower half of the dashboard \u2013 ivory on the Alabaster White version \u2013 is instead finished in black.<\/p>\n

Beyond that, the cabin is as per what we\u2019ve already seen, with a dual-cowl dashboard featuring illuminated gloss black decor with a \u201cshooting star\u201d motif. The latter has already been added to the 2026 version of its twin, the Geely Xingyuan, replacing the previous city skyline. At the centre sits a 14.6-inch infotainment system running on Proton\u2019s Atlas OS, replete with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Bahasa Malaysia \u201cHi eMas\u201d voice control and EV-specific features such as an integrated live charging map.<\/p>\n

Lower down, there\u2019s a storage cubby sitting ahead of a limited amount of air-con switchgear and a crystalline gear selector, plus two cupholders and a narrow slot. Unlike the Xingyuan, you can\u2019t get the eMas 5 with a Qi wireless charger or a powered driver\u2019s seat, not even on the Premium.<\/p>\n

Standard kit includes halogen headlights, 16-inch steel wheels, manual seats and air-con, rear air vents and faux leather upholstery. Only the full equipment list for the Premium has been revealed so far, equipped with notable additions such as LED exterior lighting, a black roof, alloys, six speakers, a 360-degree camera and a powered tailgate.<\/p>\n

As a refresher, the eMas 5 will be offered in Prime and Premium variants, with pricing estimated at RM60,000 and RM80,000 respectively. Both are rear-wheel drive, with the Prime churning out 79 PS (58 kW) and 130 Nm of torque and delivering just 225 km of WLTP-rated range through its 30.12 kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery. The Premium boosts outputs to 116 PS (85 kW) and 150 Nm, while its larger 40.16 kWh LFP pack offers a more usable range of 325 km.<\/p>\n

The Proton eMas 5 has been open for booking since Saturday, so not long to go before the launch, which is set to happen very soon \u2013 possibly by the end of this month. To tide you over, here\u2019s our first impressions review of \u201cMalaysia\u2019s cheapest EV\u201d here.<\/p>\n
