Premium (2025)
Bought new, Owned for 1 Year
Fuel Economy: 8.0 km/litre (12.5 L/100 km), Electric, Mileage: 1,300 km/month
    - easy to drive, nimble and extremely manoeuvrable
    - RWD and multilink rear suspension! the only one in its class.
    - sufficient power for daily driving, don’t underestimate the 115hp and 150nm figure on paper – EV power is instant
    - amazing interior space for its size, good rear legroom and sufficient boot space
    - frunk! good to store tapao, strong smelling items, or smaller items, no need to open boot
    - very clear 360 camera
    - under rear seat storage, good for storing shoes or valuables
    - almost complete ADAS system, minus lane keep assist
    - Full LED exterior and interior lighting! not a single incandescent bulb
    - parking comfort mode allows you to lock the doors and leave the aircon running when running errands or having lunch on a hot day, returning to a cool cabin
    - rear aircon vents
    - Proton e.Mas app allows you to view vehicle status and control plenty of vehicle controls – lock/unlock doors, open/close boot, open frunk, open/close windows, on aircon, check vehicle location, battery percentage and range, average power consumption, schedule charging
    - plenty of features, completely unbeatable for its price range (as of June 2026)
    - power boot, rare for this segment and price range
    - fantastic 6-speaker sound system, good soundstage and strong bass
    - good efficiency, always exceeds the 325km WLTP rating. Can get minimum 340km every time
    - relatively plush leatherette seats
    - decently good soundproofing, beats all B-segment ICE
    - cheap to charge and service
    - lack of power folding mirrors. on a modern, 2025 car!
    - unable to open boot when doors are locked with key nearby, no keyless sensor
    - good ACC system but no lane keep assist
    - drive mode and regen settings always reset upon startup
    - no tonneau cover for boot
    - lack of power points – no 12v power socket, only one type c for fast charging and one type a for data transmission in the front, and one type a for charging in the rear
To Improve
- power folding mirrors
- hope to see lane keep assist on upcoming refresh models
- keyless boot opening
- keyless entry for passenger side
- more power points
Yes, I would recommend this car

Just me
Premium (2025)
Bought new, Owned for 1 Year
Fuel Economy: 11.0 km/litre (9.1 L/100 km), Electric, Mileage: 5,000 km/month
    Love all the feature�s proton offering at this price segment. Car is well comfort and acceptible handling, not a really proton handling but floaty ride that very much reasonable consider for its price and segment. This is not really highway car more to city car but can go for extra mile with proper planning before journey.

    What i like about this car among its is:

    1) comfort level.
    2)aircond is freezing typical proton with rear vent.
    3) frunk bonet (ooowhhh i love this so much) really best to go shopping wet grocery item. Kind of enough space for normal house.
    4) many way of opening trunk n frunk bonet is so helpful.
    5) comfort parking mode is a bless. My work require me to stop and go at many place and i just simply drag diwn from the screen and turn on conmfort parking mode on, the car will than can be lock while i can go finished my job and be back with cool cabin room even under current weather.
    6) screen is sharp. Unlike my previous exora and persona 2013 that i install android player when using sunglasses the screen turn to greenish unlike proton emas screen. Easy to read and easy to use as well. Within a day or something i manage to use all the function in that screen.
    7) tyre linglong even some vlogger said it is rubbish i think i kind of ok with that. Comfort ride but slighly noisy but oklaaa. Previous exora bold also using champiro gt radial also noisy or maybe slighly noisy due to cabin insulation not that great like emas
    8) i think sound insulation is also great. Door close of thud sound like expensive car. Feel heavy and solid sound when close. Good??
    9) average energy consumption is good for me. Maybe because my foot is light or i am afraid of battery not enough so pressed lightly even i like to show of sometime at the highway the torque of emas hahaha. Very zooming from the owner of campro engine hahaha.i manage to get aec around 11kw/100km which is good and can get the wltp claimed by proton. Or i think i can get more. Never try to use until really low battery because when using ice also i never let the gauge blinking.
    10) power delivery is mesmerizing for me. Although a bit slow response i will tell kater in cons section

    There is more to like but all small thing maybe.
    What come good always bring the not so good as well. I will not say it bad just not that good.

    1) range only 325km full charge for premium. If can go slight 400km is better. Althought i believe i can get 350km in full charge or maybe slightly more but if can get wltp 400km this will be no brainer car anymore.

    2) torque is ok but from the cery standstill the car is heaitate to make a move like split second to think should i go this fast or not. Once the ture get the grip it is satisfyingly zooming, at least for me lah.

    3) adaptive cruise control. I really like to have this function but some way i feel it is so (if i can use word intrusive braking) nervous. Early brake and some time nose dive braking even the car distance is still in safety range. Knowing malaysian driver are so good at deiving on bumper to bumper situation the acc on the jammed feel sluggish. Need to give some input on paddle to narrow the gap or else people well slip in the que. It is a safety but the response for me kind of slow.

    4) still acc on highway, its detecting the curve so late and when the syatem detect we are already in a middle of the curve and the car like �owh got curve and i need to hard brake to save my owner� and here come nose drive braking. I need to put some paddle input to intervent the braking.

    5) turn on signal should be on a good point actually yes but its only below 30kmh. But due to price point this is okay la.
To Improve
Wltp range if can get 400km and the rest of the lackness will be forgiven.

Speed limit 150kmh maybe if cant be 160kmh

This is great ev car for new adopter considering its price and all the package offering
Yes, I would recommend this car
