Proton e.MAS 5 Officially Launches in Nepal: Prices Start at Rs. 29.99 Lakh
A stylish Proton e.MAS 5 electric hatchback finished in Arctic Blue, showcasing its sleek LED lighting, aerodynamic profile, and modern closed-off EV front fascia.
Nepal’s affordable electric hatchback segment has welcomed an exciting new entrant. Jagdamba Motors, the official distributor of Proton vehicles in Nepal, has officially launched the Proton e.MAS 5, expanding the Malaysian brand’s electric vehicle lineup after the introduction of the e.MAS 7.
Positioned as an urban-friendly electric hatchback, the Proton e.MAS 5 combines compact dimensions with modern technology, practical driving range, and competitive pricing. Entering a segment currently occupied by rivals such as the BYD Dolphin, Nammi Box, and MG4 EV, the e.MAS 5 aims to attract buyers looking for a feature-packed EV without stretching into premium price territory.
Affordable Electric Mobility with Two Battery Choices
One of the biggest highlights of the Proton e.MAS 5 is its availability in two distinct variants, allowing customers to choose between a more affordable city-focused model and a longer-range premium option. Both variants utilize Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery technology, known for its durability, safety, and long service life.
