Proton e.Mas 7: Eco-Friendly Driving Coming Soon to Nepal
The Proton e.Mas 7 is an all-electric SUV that redefines eco-friendly mobility with a seamless integration of cutting-edge technology, sophisticated design, and great performance. The e.Mas 7, Proton's first fully electric vehicle, is poised to make a big impression in Nepal's growing EV industry.
Modern and minimalist design
The Proton e.Mas 7 features a minimalist yet attractive design language. At the front, its slim LED headlights and daytime running lights provide a contemporary appearance, which is matched by a clean grille bearing the Proton emblem. The side profile has a proportional design and a robust wheelbase of 2750 mm, which improves stability and interior space. The Prime trim comes with 18-inch alloy wheels, whilst the Premium trim has larger, more attractive 19-inch alloys. The back features a full-width LED taillight bar, which is carefully accented with the Proton emblem. The "e.Mas 7" badge displays a blue "e," which represents the product's electric nature. Inside, the cabin maintains the minimalist motif, with a roomy Indigo Blue decor. Despite its simplicity, the design feels high-end and inviting.
Excellent Performance
The e.Mas 7 is driven by a 160 kW Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM), which produces a maximum power of 218 PS and torque of 320 Nm. The SUV's front-wheel-drive (FWD) technology provides a smooth and responsive driving experience. Acceleration capabilities highlight its performance skills: the Prime variant accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 6.9 seconds, while the slightly heavier Premium variant takes 7.1 seconds. A top speed of 175 km/h highlights its athleticism, making it an appealing option in the electric SUV sector.
Advanced Battery Technology and Range.
The Proton e.Mas 7 has two battery options, each designed for a specific variant:
- The Prime trim includes a 49.52 kWh AEGIS Short Blade Battery, which provides a WLTP-certified range of 345 kilometers.
- The Premium trim comes with a 60.22 kWh AEGIS Short Blade Battery, which increases the range to an amazing 410 kilometers
Both models enable DC fast charging, which allows for a 10% to 80% recharge in under 40 minutes. For home charging, the 7.2 kW AC charger takes around 7 hours for the Prime model and 8.5 hours for the Premium. Geely Auto Group created the AEGIS Short Blade Battery, which has a high energy density of 192 Wh/kg and increased performance in cold regions. Furthermore, its 1-million-kilometer lifespan provides durability and dependability, providing it a clear advantage over competing technologies.
Packed with advanced features.
Proton has packed the e.Mas 7 with numerous features intended at improving convenience, safety, and entertainment. Key highlights include:
- Infotainment and connectivity: Both models feature a 15.6-inch touchscreen and a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster. The Premium trim enhances the experience with a 16-speaker stereo system and a heads-up display, while the Prime trim has 6 speakers.
- Interior Comfort: Leatherette seats come standard, with power adjustment, memory functions, and ventilation offered on the Premium model. A panoramic glass roof and an electronic tailgate enhance the vehicle's elegance.
- Safety Systems: The e.Mas 7 has a comprehensive set of safety features, including Level 2 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), 6 airbags, Traction Control System (TCS), Electronic Stability Control (ESC), and Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). The Premium model has sensors and a 360-degree camera, making parking easier.
