The Geely EX5 (or Geely Galaxy E5 or Proton eMas 7, depending on where you live) has been given a full five-star safety rating by both the European New Car Assessment Programme (Euro NCAP) and the Australasian New Car Assessment Programme (ANCAP).
Before we get our sarongs in a twist though, barring any announcements from either of the two NCAPs or Proton, this rating may not necessarily apply to the eMas 7 because the EX5 tested here has a centre airbag (which the Proton doesn’t have) for a total of seven. Our Proton has six airbags and has been rated five stars by ASEAN NCAP.
Both NCAPs’ scores are almost totally similar – 86% for adults, 87% for children and 83% for vulnerable road users (pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists) – except for safety assist, where the EV SUV got 83% from Euro NCAP and 85% from ANCAP. You can pore through the full results below in the gallery.
Launched in December, the Proton eMas 7 shot straight to the top of Malaysia’s EV sales chart – 421 were sold in January, 580 in February and 737 in March for a first-quarter total of 1,738 units, beating the second-placed BYD Sealion 7 by nearly 900 units.
