Proton eMas yesterday posted this teaser on its Facebook page – it’s clearly an eMas 7, which has been largely dominating the EV sales charts in Malaysia since its December launch. Could it be the locally-assembled (CKD) version? And is it really coming in a couple days’ time?
If it is, that’s almost too soon to be true – after all, Proton only announced in February that it had started construction of its EV plant in Tanjong Malim, and that the CKD eMas 7 would only be out by year-end.
One possibility is Android Auto/Apple CarPlay (AACP) integration, which was not available at launch. This is more likely, as we understand that the over-the-air (OTA) update for this would arrive in July. Currently, only the X70 facelift has AACP.
Another possibility is a special edition, though given the eMas 7’s currentness, we think this is a hundred-to-one shot. Yet another possibility, which is just as likely as AACP, is a spec update, maybe in response to the BYD Atto 3 Ultra‘s ‘spec-up, price-down’ assault. Anyhow, all will be revealed in two days!

While most dream of the future, Jonathan Tan dreams of the past, although he’s never been there. Fantasises much too often about cruising down Treacher Road (Jalan Sultan Ismail) in a Triumph Stag that actually works, and hopes this stint here will snap him back to present reality.
