The Proton eMas 5 is a battery-electric car sold under the Proton brand in Malaysia. It was launched on 30 October 2025, after the prime minister unveiled it earlier that week at the ASEAN Summit, and it is the brand's second battery-electric model after the eMas 7. It comes in two variants. The Prime has a single rear-axle motor of 79 PS and a 30.12 kWh lithium iron phosphate battery for a claimed 225 km of WLTP range. The Premium has 116 PS and a 40.16 kWh battery for up to 325 km. Both are rear-wheel drive, with MacPherson strut front and multi-link rear suspension. Its cabin is essentially that of the Geome Xingyuan on which it is based, with Proton-specific changes such as the logo and the door card graphics. With the introductory rebate it was priced from RM56,800 on the road, which made it the cheapest electric car on sale in Malaysia.
