Proton Nepal has taken a significant step in expanding its electric vehicle presence outside of Kathmandu by delivering 10 units of the e.MAS7 electric SUV in Butwal. This move comes ahead of the official inauguration of its showroom in the city, in partnership with dealer Balaji E Automobiles. The early handovers underscore the growing interest in Proton's electric vehicles, with multiple customers finalizing their purchases before the showroom's launch.
The deliveries in Butwal follow a similar successful event in Pokhara, where Proton conducted multiple handovers with strong customer participation. This trend highlights the increasing demand for electric vehicles in Nepal, particularly for models like the e.MAS7, which offers a compelling combination of performance, range, and features. The Proton e.MAS7 is available in two variants in Nepal: Prime and Premium, priced at Rs 56.99 lakh and Rs 67.99 lakh, respectively.
Both the Prime and Premium variants of the e.MAS7 are equipped with a front-mounted electric motor, producing 160 kW and 320 Nm, which enables the SUV to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.9 seconds. The system utilizes a 12-in-1 motor controller for enhanced efficiency. The Prime variant features an LFP battery with a capacity of 49.52 kWh, offering a WLTP-rated range of 345 km, along with 18-inch alloy wheels, a 15.4-inch display, remote functions, and ADAS Level 2. In contrast, the Premium variant boasts a larger 60.22 kWh LFP battery, extending the range to 410 km, and adds features such as 19-inch wheels, a 16-speaker Flyme Sound System, a head-up display, and ventilated front seats.
A key component of the e.MAS7 is Geely's Aegis Short Blade Battery, designed to provide enhanced safety, quicker charging, and improved durability compared to conventional LFP blade batteries. This advanced battery technology contributes to the e.MAS7's appeal, both in Nepal and internationally, where the model is sold as the Geely Galaxy E5. With its competitive pricing, impressive specifications, and cutting-edge technology, the Proton e.MAS7 is poised to make a significant impact in Nepal's growing electric vehicle market.
