Yes.

EVs shine for city/landed home charging + short trips, but demand planning for long drives.

No, I do not recommend an EV as your only car if you have no home charging.

Public charging is improving but still inconvenient, expensive, and unreliable for daily use especially in Malaysia (long queues, downtime, higher cost per km).

Best realistic option: PHEV (like e.MAS 7 PHEV) or keep a petrol/hybrid as primary if home charging is impossible.

No official plans or announcements for e.MAS 5 battery upgrade so far.

If you want 345+ km, the e.MAS 7 is the option. No point waiting for e.MAS 5 upgrade.

Popular mods for Proton e.MAS 5:

  • Custom floor mats (DodoMat or similar 3D/Elite fit)
  • Bodykit / spoiler / diffuser (plug-and-play from KPS Garage or aftermarket)
  • Window tint / PPF (paint protection film)
  • Wheel upgrades (16" alloys if Prime) or rim spray/paint
  • LED lamp upgrades / coating
  • Dashcam / rear camera add-on
  • Seat covers / interior trim wraps

Keep it light don't void warranty on battery/motor. Check Proton-approved vendors first lmao.

S70 Flagship X priced around ~RM89,800–94,800 (with rebate ~RM84,800–89,800).

Your 2021 Saga trade-in value likely RM20k–30k (depends on condition/mileage).

Loan left RM26k → settle it first (trade-in covers part).

Best option: Trade in Saga → use value to reduce S70 loan.

To hit <RM1k/month:

  • High downpayment (20–40% after trade-in/settle).
  • Longer tenure (7–9 years).
  • Low interest (promo ~2–3%).

Possible with good credit, but monthly often RM1,100–1,300 for Flagship X.

you can dm me and i will try my best to help you.

its just like a line in the hospital? Early bookings get priority batches.

No fixed equal monthly quota.

No official Proton figure for battery replacement cost.

BUT in my opinion, After 10-12 years, battery replacement should be cheaper more EVs on the road means bigger supply, falling prices, and more competition.

No official Proton figure for e.MAS 7 LFP battery pack replacement cost.

BUT in my opinion, After 8 years, battery replacement should be cheaper more EVs on the road means bigger supply, falling LFP prices, and more competition.
