Proton e.MAS 7 PHEV – Langkah Pertama Pengeluar Nasional ke Dalam Segmen Hibrid Plug-In

Proton mengambil satu lagi langkah penting dalam strateginya menuju elektrifikasi apabila memperkenalkan buat pertama kali model hibrid plug-in pertamanya, e.MAS 7 PHEV, sempena Pameran Teknologi Proton di Shah Alam. Walaupun belum dilancarkan secara rasmi, pratonton ini menandakan kesediaan Proton untuk memasuki pasaran PHEV, sekali gus menambah dimensi baharu kepada barisan produk tenaga baharu jenama itu.

Model e.MAS 7 PHEV merupakan adaptasi pasaran Malaysia bagi Geely Starray EM-i, model yang kini dijual di China. Ia berkongsi banyak komponen dengan versi elektrik sepenuhnya, e.MAS 7. Unit pra-pengeluaran yang dipamerkan menampilkan logo harimau Proton yang besar pada bahagian hadapan dan panel kaca sisi.

Dari segi janakuasa, Proton menggunakan enjin 1.5 liter milik Geely yang telah diolah khusus untuk aplikasi hibrid. Enjin tersebut beroperasi menggunakan kitaran Atkinson, direka bentuk dengan komponen lebih ringkas serta dilengkapi sistem EGR khas bagi meningkatkan kecekapan bahan api. Menariknya, enjin tidak berhenti mengecas bateri melainkan diperlukan, memastikan operasi yang lebih bersih dan menjimatkan.

Proton Shows First Plug-in Hybrid, the e.MAS 7 PHEV

Proton has shown its first plug-in hybrid car, called the e.MAS 7 PHEV, at the Proton Tech Showcase in Shah Alam. The car is not for sale yet, but this preview shows that Proton is getting ready to enter the plug-in hybrid market for the first time.

The e.MAS 7 PHEV is the Malaysian version of the Geely Starray EM-i, a model sold in China. It shares many parts with its fully electric twin, the e.MAS 7. The test car shown to the public has Proton’s large tiger logo on the front and on the glass panels.

The car uses a 1.5-litre engine made by Geely. For hybrid use, the engine was changed to make it more fuel-efficient. It uses the Atkinson cycle, has simpler parts, and includes a special EGR system to reduce fuel use. The engine also never stops charging the battery unless the wheels need extra help.

Proton Saga Baharu Dilancarkan Secara Rasmi – Harga Bermula dari RM38,990

Proton telah memperkenalkan Proton Saga generasi baharu secara rasmi, menandakan satu lagi detik penting dalam sejarah automotif negara.

Sejak tahun 1985, nama Saga bukan sekadar model — ia lambang identiti nasional yang telah menemani rakyat Malaysia dalam pelbagai generasi, dengan lebih 2.1 juta unit berada di jalan raya seluruh dunia.

Kini, Saga kembali dalam versi paling moden setakat ini, membawa gabungan teknologi baharu, reka bentuk lebih matang dan nilai Malaysia yang kekal menjadi asasnya.

Saga 2025 hadir dengan peningkatan menyeluruh. Di bawah bonet, Proton menggunakan enjin 1.5 liter i-GT baharu yang menghasilkan 120PS dan 150Nm, dipadankan dengan transmisi CVT untuk pemanduan lebih lancar dan cekap. Bagi varian asas, pilihan 4AT terus dikekalkan bagi mereka yang mengutamakan praktikaliti dan kepercayaan jangka panjang.

Dari luar, Saga baharu tampil dengan imej serba segar. Bahagian hadapan memuatkan gril “Sulaman Songket” — elemen rekaan identiti Proton — bersama lampu projektor LED penuh dengan DRL. Di belakang, lampu LED melintang memberi gaya lebih moden, diinspirasikan daripada Proton X50. Roda aloi 15 inci dalam kemasan satu tona atau dua tona pula melengkapkan rupa luaran yang lebih tegap dan kontemporari.

Keselamatan menjadi keutamaan untuk model generasi keempat ini. Proton Saga 2025 kini dilengkapi sistem ADAS, enam beg udara dan struktur badan yang dipertingkat dengan pengukuhan pada tiang tengah serta tempat duduk hadapan. Antara ciri utamanya termasuk Amaran Perlanggaran Hadapan (FCW), Amaran Pelepasan Hadapan (FDA), Lampu Tinggi Pintar (AHB) dan Amaran Pelepasan Lorong (LDW).

Lebih membanggakan, Saga 2025 ialah kereta segmen-A pertama di Malaysia yang menerima pengiktirafan ASEAN NCAP selepas melepasi ujian Brek Kecemasan Autonomi (AEB) untuk penunggang motosikal. Ia turut dilengkapi ciri keselamatan tambahan seperti Amaran Pembukaan Pintu (DOW), Amaran Perlanggaran Belakang (RCW), Bantuan Tukar Lorong (LCA) dan Amaran Lintasan Trafik Belakang (RCTA).

Bahagian dalam turut menerima perubahan besar. Kabin kini menggunakan susun atur lebih moden dengan paparan berkembar 16 inci — gabungan skrin infotainmen 9 inci dan paparan instrumen digital 7 inci.

Semua varian utama menyokong Apple CarPlay dan Android Auto tanpa wayar, menjadikan sambungan digital lebih mudah dan intuitif.

Elemen rekaan dalaman mengekalkan sentuhan Malaysia seperti corak lubang udara “Congkak” dan motif ombak pada panel pintu, digabungkan dengan stereng bawah-rata berkuasa elektrik. Dua warna baharu — Biru Marin Dalam dan Kelabu Angkasa — menambah pilihan gaya yang lebih segar dan elegan.

Harga untuk Proton Saga 2025 bermula dari RM38,990 untuk varian Standard, RM44,990 untuk Eksekutif dan RM49,990 untuk varian Premium.

Bagi unit yang didaftarkan sebelum 31 Disember 2025, ada rebat pelancaran istimewa sebanyak RM1,000.

All-New Proton Saga Launched – Prices Start from RM38,990

Proton has officially launched the all-new Saga, marking the start of a new chapter for one of Malaysia’s most recognisable cars. For more than forty years, the Proton Saga has been a familiar presence on Malaysian roads, with over 2.1 million units sold globally since its 1985 debut.

It remains Proton’s most popular and enduring model, a role it continues to build on with this fourth-generation version.

The 2025 Proton Saga arrives with a new powertrain configuration. It is now equipped with a 1.5-litre i-GT engine that produces 120 PS and 150 Nm, paired with a CVT for improved smoothness and refinement. The more affordable variants retain the 4-speed automatic gearbox. Proton says the updates deliver better response and overall efficiency.

The exterior has been completely redesigned. The latest model features a sculpted bonnet, a revised front grille with Proton’s “Sulaman Songket” motif, full LED projector headlamps with DRLs, and a new LED tail light bar inspired by the Proton X50. New 15-inch alloy wheels, offered in both two-tone and single-tone designs, complete the updated look.

Safety has been significantly upgraded. The Saga now includes Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), six airbags, and additional structural reinforcements such as a strengthened front seat cross-member and reinforced centre pillars. Key features include Front Collision Warning, Front Departure Alert, Intelligent High Beam Control and Lane Departure Warning.

The new Saga also becomes Malaysia’s first A-segment model to earn ASEAN NCAP recognition for passing the Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) Motorcyclist Test. It is further supported by Door Opening Warning, Rear Collision Warning, Lane Change Assist and Rear Cross Traffic Alert.

Inside, the cabin receives a notable uplift in both technology and design. The dashboard now houses a 16-inch dual-screen layout that combines a 9-inch infotainment display with a 7-inch digital instrument cluster. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are included as standard.

Other design details include a flat-bottom electric power steering wheel, “Congkak”-inspired air vents and wave-pattern elements inspired by Malaysian coastlines. Two new colours—Marine Blue and Space Grey—join the range.

Prices for the 2025 Proton Saga start from RM38,990 for the Standard variant, RM44,990 for the Executive and RM49,990 for the Premium variant.
For the units registered before 31 December 2025, get a special launch rebate of RM1,000.
