It was only two days ago when bookings for the e.MAS 5 were opened by Proton. Today, PRO-NET, a wholly owned subsidiary of PROTON, has announced it has achieved a staggering 1607 bookings within just 24 hours of opening for reservations on 4 October 2025.
The overwhelming response follows a record-breaking livestream event that officially marked the opening of bookings for the e.MAS 5, held at Proton e.MAS Nilai. The announcement was streamed live across multiple social platforms, introducing Malaysians nationwide to what PROTON calls “the EV built for the Rakyat.”
A Historic Launch for Malaysia’s EV Market
The livestream, a first of its kind for Proton, was broadcast across eight TikTok channels and one Facebook page, including official Proton e.MAS accounts and motoring partners such as Nazz & Co and SoyaCincau. The broadcast attracted an impressive 572000 live viewers, with total views now exceeding one million since the launch weekend.
“We’re truly humbled by the overwhelming response from Malaysians for Proton e.MAS 5,” said Mr. Zhang Qiang, CEO of PRO-NET. “Our mission has always been to make EV ownership accessible to all, and with the e.MAS 5, we’re turning that vision into reality. It’s truly Malaysia’s most affordable EV, built for the Rakyat.”
Designed for Everyday Malaysians
Positioned as a city-sized EV with big ambitions, the Proton e.MAS 5 combines a compact B-segment footprint with C-segment interior space, offering both agility and comfort for daily driving.
Estimated to be priced between RM60000 and RM80000, the e.MAS 5 delivers a practical entry point into electric mobility — an unprecedented move in Malaysia’s EV landscape. With its rear-wheel drive layout, class-leading turning radius, and integrated live charging status, the e.MAS 5 is engineered to make electric driving not only affordable, but genuinely enjoyable.
