Well, no official details are available on the upcoming Proton EVs, here we make some guesses.
The first silhouette in the teaser is a sedan that looks similar to the Proton S70 currently sold in Malaysia. Launched in November last year, the Proton S70 has been a major success in the C-segment sedan category. The sedan’s stylish design and impressive performance have made it a favourite among Malaysian buyers. Given its popularity, it’s highly likely that Proton will introduce an electric version of the S70 as part of its new EV sub-brand.
The next silhouette showcases an SUV, which is widely rumoured to be a rebadged version of the Geely Galaxy E5. The Galaxy E5 is a C-segment SUV based on Geely’s GEEA 3.0 architecture with cell-to-body (CTB) integration. It is 4,615 mm long, 1,901 mm wide, and 1,670 mm tall and spans a 2,750 mm long wheelbase.
The Chinese-spec Galaxy E5 comes powered by a front-mounted electric motor tuned to deliver a maximum power of 218 PS and a peak torque of 320 Nm. As for the battery, there are two options - 49.52 kWh and 60.22 kWh, offering a driving range of up to 440 km and 530 km respectively.
The last silhouette appears to be a hatchback, which is also probably inspired by a Geely hatchback model.
Stay tuned for further updates as Proton gears up to launch these exciting electric cars in Malaysia.
