PriceShop’s best EVs in Malaysia under RM100,000 (May 2026)
Fuel prices have been on the up, and while the BUDI95 subsidy remains for now it’s not surprising to see that many Malaysians are looking at getting an electrified vehicle instead, be it an EV or PHEV. Despite the ongoing MITI controversy regarding EV pricing, you can still get some electrified vehicles at the sub-RM100,000 price point for now, so here’s a quick roundup of what you can get.
Proton eMas 5 – from RM56,800
The Proton eMas 5 is currently the cheapest mainstream EV you can buy in Malaysia. Starting at RM56,800 for the Prime and RM69,800 for the Premium when you account for its ongoing special launch price, it is perhaps Proton’s biggest push yet into the entry-level EV space.
With the Prime, you get a pretty standard setup with 6 airbags, a 14.6-inch display, V2L functionality, 53kW DC charging, 6.6kW AC charging and a 30.12kWh CATL LFP battery able to do 225km of range on the WLTP cycle. However, the pricer Premium offers plenty more in kit, with 16-inch alloy rims, a 360-degree camera, ADAS functionality, a powered tailgate, LED headlights, 71kW DC charging and a larger 40.16kWh CATL LFP battery capable of up to 325km of range.
While it won’t be winning any awards for range, it does offer a pretty good overall package for a city car, perfectly adequate for you or your partner or maybe even your kid to go to office or class and back every day.
Proton eMas 7 Prime – RM99,800
If the eMas 5 is designed for affordability, the Proton eMas 7 Prime targets buyers wanting a more complete family EV experience without crossing into premium territory. The eMas 7 recently got a CKD version, allowing it to drop its starting price down to RM103,800, and when combined with the ongoing RM4,000 rebate it just about fits nicely into our sub-RM100,000 category at RM99,800.
Compared to the eMas 5, the larger SUV offers not just a larger cabin and more cargo space, but also better highway refinement and a larger 49.52kWh AEGIS Short Blade battery for a longer driving range as well as faster 80kW DC and 11kW AC charging, with the eMas 7 Prime able to do up to 345km of range based on the WLTP cycle.
Unlike smaller city-focused EVs, the eMas 7 ought to feel much more comfortable for interstate journeys, making it suitable for balik kampung trips or regular long-distance driving between major cities. There’s also a large 15.4-inch 2.5K touchscreen head unit, V2L functionality and Level 2 ADAS functionality.
Of course, there’s a number of extra features on the Premium, such as longer range, larger display, Level 3 ADAS and even a windshield HUD, but even after the rebate it’s priced a fair bit higher at RM115,800.
BYD Atto 2 – RM100,000
BYD is perhaps the most well recognised EV brand in Malaysia right now apart from Proton’s eMas marque. And while they’ve got a few that could possibly make this list, we’re gonna first choose the BYD Atto 2. This compact crossover SUV is probably one of their most appealing EVs in their range, thanks in part to a safe-but-stylish design and sensible kit.
You’ll find a single motor powering the front wheels juiced up by a 51.13kWh Blade battery offering up to 410km of range on the NEDC cycle, or roughly 350km on the WLTP cycle. Charging meanwhile is taken care of via 82kW DC charging and 7kW AC charging.
Other features include an 8.8-inch instrument cluster and 12.8-inch infotainment display, ventilated seats, 360-degree cameras, AEB, ACC, six airbags and 17-inch alloy wheels.
BYD Seal 6 Dynamic – RM100,000
Next up we have another BYD EV, the BYD Seal 6. You’re limited to just the Dynamic model here, but this C-segment sedan does still offer a lot of car for your money at a starting price of just RM100,000 with the Premium at RM115,800. You also won’t want to confuse it with the much more expensive BYD Seal, which starts at a much higher RM171,800 price tag.
The rear-wheel drive sedan gets a 129PS electric motor with a 56.64kWh Blade LDP battery, capable of up to 485km on the NEDC cycle or roughly 412km on the WLTP cycle. As for charging, you get 100kW DC and 6.67kW Type 2 AC charging, with V2L functionality present too. Other features include an 8.8-inch digital instrument cluster and a 12.8-inch info, powered tailgate and 360-degree cameras.
Compared to the other C-segment sedans in the market, it’s longer and wider than the usual suspects like the Honda Civic, Proton S70 and Toyota Corolla Altis. You won’t get some extra nice-to-haves though on the Seal 6 Dynamic compared to the Premium, losing out on the full width LEDs, panoramic sunroof, larger 18-inch wheels and more powerful motor.
TQ Wuling Bingo – from RM67,800
If you liked the eMas 5 for its ‘cuteness’ more than anything else, the TQ Wuling Bingo EV might be up your alley too. Priced at RM67,800 for the Pro and RM72,800 for the Max, this is one of the smaller EVs out there which is perhaps why they’ve played up the cute styling of car, with a two-tone Caramel Latte interior and retro-esque aircon vents. And perhaps due to its size, it’s a four-seater rather than five.
The Wuling Bingo Pro comes with a 31.9kWh battery while the Max has a larger 37.9kWh battery, while claimed range is 333km and 410km respectively on the CLTC cycle, which converts to roughly 273km and 336km on the WLTP cycle; that’s actually a little better than the eMas 5, which is its biggest competitor. As for charging, the LFP batteries can take up to 50kW DC and 7kW AC.
Regardless of which Bingo you opt for, you’ll still get dual 10.25-inch displays, a reverse camera, blind spot monitoring, 6 airbags and powered driver’s seat and mirrors. However, you don’t have ACC and compared to the eMas 5 there’s also no ADAS, powered tailgate or 360-degree camera.
Perodua QV-E – RM80,000*
Lastly, we have perhaps our most controversial one of the bunch: the Perodua QV-E. Yes, it does nicely fit into our budget, but it’s been hit by production delays since launch due to supposed supplier and vendor quality issues, with less than 40 units registered by February 2026 despite a couple hundred bookings.
That’s on top of the fact that the RM80,000 price tag doesn’t actually include the battery, which will require an additional RM275 per month on top of your monthly instalment for 9 years. That translates to an additional RM29,700 over 9 years for the battery subscription, which is why we asterisked this entry.
The car itself is a stylish and sporty vehicle, quite unlike most Perodua cars that you see today. The 52.5kWh CATL LFP battery provides up to 445km of range in the NEDC cycle, which is about 370km in the WLTP cycle, while for charging the QV-E supports 60kW DC and 6.6kW AC charging.
You’ll also find a full ADAS suite, a 10.25-inch infortainment screen, 18-inch alloy rims, 360-degree cameras, 6 airbags and also a child presence detection to avoid kids being left in the car on a hot day.
