KUALA LUMPUR: After disrupting Malaysia's BEV market in 2025, Proton is ready to make waves in the PHEV category as well. The national automaker previewed the e.MAS 7 PHEV earlier this month, followed by the opening of its order books with an exciting promo offering an RM 500 booking fee rebate for the first 5,000 customers.

Proton is all set to launch the e.MAS 7 plug-in hybrid SUV on February 4, 2026. Here’s a quick recap of the things we know so far about the upcoming 2026 Proton e.MAS 7 PHEV -

• The e.MAS PHEV is offered in three variants - Prime, Premium, and Premium Plus, with prices estimated to range between RM 110k and RM 130k.
