Upgraded e.MAS 7? 5 Things To Check Out At Proton’s KLIMS 2026 Booth This June 12-21

Kuala Lumpur International Mobility Show (KLIMS 2026) is officially back at MITEC! Running from June 12 to 21, the theme this year is "Beyond Mobility," and local powerhouse Proton is pulling out all the stops at Hall 7, Level 2.

If you are planning your weekend trip, you might want to head straight to the Proton booth. From massive EV battery upgrades to literal robotic tech, here are the 5 major highlights you cannot afford to miss.

The absolute star of the show is the preview of the upgraded Proton e.MAS 7. Celebrating the sub-brand's second anniversary, PRO-NET is introducing a new flagship variant (likely named the Premium Plus) that targets your biggest EV headache: range anxiety.

The Big Upgrade: It swaps out the current 60.22 kWh pack for a larger 68.39 kWh Aegis Short Blade LFP battery.

More Kampung Trips: This bumps your real-world driving range up to an estimated 475 km (WLTP) on standard 18-inch wheels, giving you an extra 65 km of highway cruising compared to the current Premium variant.

The Catch: Because the bigger battery adds about 50 kg of weight, the 0–100 km/h sprint drops slightly from 6.9 seconds to 7.4 seconds. But honestly, for that extra range? We’ll take it.

Yes, you read that right. Proton is actually bringing a humanoid robot to their exhibition floor. While it won't be helping you negotiate car loans, it is on display to showcase the advanced AI integration and future smart-mobility tech being developed through Proton’s global ecosystem partners. It is the ultimate scroll-stopping photo op for your TikTok and Instagram feeds.

Proton isn't leaving traditional combustion engines behind just yet. They are teasing an exciting new milestone called the FutureMotion HEV dedicated hybrid technology showcase. This marks a massive pivot for the national carmaker, especially since they completely dropped the old 48-volt mild hybrid system from the X90 lineup.

According to Proton's product roadmap, this isn't just a concept, it's a preview of a brand-new 1DHT dedicated hybrid transmission developed with Horse Powertrain. This smart tech is fully compatible with hybrid and plug-in hybrid models, and industry insiders are heavily touting it for upcoming vehicles like the highly anticipated AMA02 (affectionately dubbed the 'Saga Cross'). 

If you want a genuine glimpse of how Proton is shaping smarter energy and smoother motion for future Malaysian roads, this tech display is an absolute must-visit.

For the petrolheads who prefer styling flair over battery cells, Proton is launching the X50 Sport Edition. Based on the latest facelift, this special edition comes equipped with an aggressive factory-fitted body kit, exclusive sports accessories, and a sleek presentation that signals a much sportier stance for the popular compact SUV.

You don’t just have to stand around and stare at the spec sheets. Proton is opening up its full e.MAS electric fleet for live test drives around the dedicated MITEC ride tracks. It’s the perfect, zero-pressure opportunity to experience the instant torque of an EV and see how the local Tanjung Malim suspension tuning handles sharp corners.
