personally not a fan of p1 as well but bang for buck wise their emas line should be considered especially emas5.

good cat

if you want good semi autonomous driving then tesla, if you want good semi autonomous driving with android auto/carplay then xpeng.

TS asking for EV but your comment is that you like ICE cars?

Edit: Just realised that you are the TS. Did you think that the Jaecoo, Jetour, Omada, Haval's etc were all EVs?

If you want longevity in the Malaysian market, cannot go wrong with Proton.
If you are willing to bet on others, MG S5, Leapmotor B10 (boths SUVs) as well as BYD Seal 6 (sedan) is in your price range.

Emas are rebadged Geely, easy to recommend. In fact Emas 5 donor is the most sellable ev in China.

If you don't quite like the looks of those eMas then you can consider BYD Atto 2, BYD Seal 6 or Leapmotor B10

Although at this time of volatile situation in the world, spending big sums of money should have extra deliberations. But if you have the financial means, please go ahead to replace your current ride.

Just don't rely on the assisted driving too much, it is still mainly trained using china's road condition and usage habits. And even in China, still have to keep vigilant as there are times the system gets confused and get the car into accident during assisted driving mode.

18k rebate ma... should be near 100k

Saw that video mg headunit sibeh lagging la...

criteria 1 = LFP battery. this can rule out those beemers, merc
criteria 2 = longevity of company, rule out those small odd brand players
criteria 3 = if made in malaysia will be bonus. unlikely will lari

after that then go test drive

you will end up with proton, perodua, cherry, wuling

stelantis, byd.. uncertain.

It worked fine when I tried it but there seems to be many complaints on lagging issues due to syncing with China server or something.

mg4 hu is 5 yrs old design... is slow but not a real problem for me...

mg s5 should be faster since its much newer... anyways never tried so cant confirm

Please dont get EMAS5 - range below 200km only - you will regret

eMas7 would be perfect 😎🖤👍

city use - emas 5

outstation - b10

Yeah, MG4 HU was laggy even when it first came out in Malaysia. But IMO still usable and the drive, handling and the price makes it worthwhile to accept the laggy HU. MG S5 HU was good during my limited testing with it but some users experienced intermittent issues.

low spec?

high spec can easily get 300++

40kWh battery - 250 km to 300 - no way above 300 unless you drive everywhere stable below 60kmh.

My family has one, I drive it periodically, easily over 300km

U can check in groups also people consistently getting over 300km no issue. The WLTP claim 325km is quite achievable just drive normally. If u drive more conservatively can even get like 340km
