The Proton e.MAS 5 made it to the top 5 best selling cars in Malaysia for January 2026.
The Malaysian automotive landscape has reached a significant turning point as Proton e.MAS shows that the mass market is indeed ready for electrification. In its first full month of deliveries, the Proton e.MAS 5 recorded a historic 3,068 units handed over to customers across the country, effectively making it the No. 1 EV model in Malaysia. Not only that, it climbed its way into the top 5 for overall passenger car vehicles.
Market Leadership and Consumer Sentiment
This milestone is more than just a sales figure; it reflects a paradigm shift in how Malaysians view electric vehicles (EVs). The Proton e.MAS 5 successfully captured 49.2% of the BEV market share and entered the Top 5 overall passenger vehicles for the month, representing 4.5% of all car sales in Malaysia.
According to PRO-NET CEO Mr. Zhang Qiang, the overwhelming response underscores a growing openness toward electric mobility as a practical, accessible, and trusted choice for everyday driving. The vehicle’s popularity is further reflected in its aesthetic appeal, with Moonstone White emerging as the most sought-after colour, followed by Marble Cream and Quartz Rose.

To celebrate this achievement and the ongoing festive season, PRO-NET is introducing a suite of exclusive benefits for the Proton e.MAS community.
