The Proton eMas 7 was launched towards the end of last year, and now the carmaker has identified certain aspects of the electric SUV that will be addressed with a number of updates.
If you have taken to the wheel of the eMas 7, you’ll likely have noticed the audible warning for pedestrians when driving at low speeds. If you haven’t heard the tune, this is the jingle. The ice cream truck-esque audio is something that plays at any point below 30 km/h.
This means that whenever stop-start traffic is encountered in the eMas 7 – a near-certainty in rush hour commutes – the sweets-on-wheels musical passage will be your constant companion, as it cannot be switched off. Proton says this is in order to comply with UN ECE regulations, however it is currently working to give eMas 7 customers options for the pedestrian warning audio.
Also among the updates to come for the eMas 7 is the saving of radio frequency presets, the carmaker has revealed at a customer event. Proton is working on a fix to enable the retention of customers’ radio presets, as currently all radio settings will be reset upon vehicle startup.
The Proton eMas 7 is presently available in two variants – the Prime, equipped with a 49.52 kWh battery, and the Premium, which gets a 60.22 kWh battery – both variants use the Geely Aegis short-blade lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery – for 345 km and 410 km of range respectively, on the WLTP cycle.
Charging time from 30 to 80% takes 20 minutes using DC fast charging at up to 100 kW (80 kW for the Prime), while a full charge using an 11 kW AC wallbox takes 4.9 hours for the Prime and 6.1 hours for the Premium. The eMas 7 is also the first Proton to get a suite of driver assistance features, including Level 2 semi-autonomous driving capabilities.
