All the Proton prices bar the emas7 are incorrect. There have been pretty big price drops in the year since they have been introduced.

Proton X50 P - $229,950.00
Proton X50 F - $269,000.00(not sure where this price is now)
Proton X90 P - $299,000.00
Proton X90 F - $339,000.00

In the case of the X50 I guess it would make way for the facelift that came out earlier this month with similar looking interior to the Emas 7 and a sharper exterior as well as a little more power.

New 2026 KIA Sportage Hybrid HEV is here
$301,000

2WD, Powered tailgate, powered driver and passenger seat, dual zone AC, lane keep and collision avoidance, wireless Apple CarPlay & Android Auto, 360 camera, 12.3” infotainment and 12.3” instrument panel

64485fc8-5baa-4703-94ca-f59ff859fda6.jpeg

So they finally picked sense and saw what Maska did bringing in the hybrid version LWB and did the same. I Always wondered why we couldnt of gotten it through the local dealership when islands like Jamaica got it. I wonder if they have access to the AWD version as well and at what cost. It seems to be coming with more tech this time for us more in line international models.

Being an insignificant RHD market probably is the biggest factor.
Massy and ANSA at least have operations in other territories. SS is just Trinidad not so? So their ability to take big shipments is probably much less than the other two big showroom companies.

Co-sign, a lot of times smaller markets will have to take whatever excess a production line may have. The more top features becoming standard on all production lines helps get more feature rich options locally

Finally the LWB model! Anyone knows if the top spec trim is AWD? If so, that's a very decent price comparative to the Tucson.

And BTW Massy just got the LWB Tucsons in as well, at $10,000 more than the SWB version they were selling.

Lifestyle has stopped selling the Swift? Could have sworn I saw some Swift Sports in their El Socorro/Aranguez parking lot recently.

I like them. Technology to the brim. Test drove the 7 seater version last year which is more or less the same as the 6 seater except for the 2nd row seating, panoramic sunroof and boss switch for the front passenger.
However the engine sounds like a tractor and despite the small displacement with its 3 cylinders mated with a mild hybrid system the fuel efficiency isn't all that great based on real world reviews from South Africa and Malaysia. The test model in Chaguanas was reading 16l/100km when I did the test drive but that's probably a lot of very short runs.

With that said I actually have reserved an eMas from the next shipment. The thought of no more gas stations and servicing once a year is proving to be a big draw.

And just TT$25.00 to fill the "tank" at home with 400-500km of range

There's also a Type 1 charger in the car park in work. I just need to establish who owns it and wouldn't even need to spend $25 at home very frequently. It does have a phone number on it to call just haven't gotten around to doing so. Even if they limit the charging to 3 hours like Shell does at their HQ in St Clair that's a cool 140 to 150 kms in range per session.

I have had mine for about a month now, so far so good. I was looking at the X90 - a nice, big SUV for $ 299K - but the DCT was a hard no. I dislike driving a DCT because of the hesitation between gear changes.

Last time I ran the figures wasn’t even $25 ….. enjoy ! Electric is the way !

^ Ppl do need to be cognizant there will be an upfront capital cost to properly install a charger. My garage is well over 100' from my panel box so my cabling costs will be a big high. But I spend on average $1400 a month in gas so the payback will be within a year for sure.

I also think a lot of people can get by on Level 1 charging if they’re diligent as Trinidad is small. Wiring up for level 2 is surely more convenient
Between overnight charges every few days and weekends you can put back the mileage you use most times

The rep in Ansa say even though the car coming with a 120v charger plug they don't recommend it as a long term charging option.

Yup I ran a 220v outlet in my garage and just the connection from the panel to the outlet 40ft away cost $2500. I didn't want to run it surface though.

proton x90 for 339 is over 1.1 mil cheaper than the mamoo chariot Prado. Dual-clutch dry or wet, that's a gamble I'll be willing to take. You all see the size of that? It's like a Sorento but 265k cheaper and you can access the back row by passing through the 2 captain seats in the middle row. No seat folding shenanigans here. The emas7 in gb was another surprising upsetter. 299 and you basically have a complete vehicle devoid of gas stations forever. Why tf would I spend so much to buy some benz eq something or bmw ix something when this exist? I honestly can't believe it. For 299 and 339, you can get complete family transportation devices that even if they become disposable in 7 years (which we know wont happen, it might be closer to 50k maybe), I would say renders the legacy players very useless. Moreover, I don't think there's any bandit willing to steal a Proton in TT. So, you can chook the car literally anywhere and know for sure your ride will remain where you parked it. I also saw those massy boys and girls launched the new MG ZS hybrid for 179 and 199k. The equipment listing on the latter is probably more than a fully loaded rav4. sheit I can buy that and use it for the same 7 years and throw it away and still lose the same or less than the depreciation of the great rav4. If I get fedup or get buyers remorse, I can always park it in MT downstairs and go collect insurance money afterwards.

Here is my review of the Emas 7:

I've owned a Mazda 3, Rav 4, Hyundai and Hondas. My last car was a Hyundai Tucson—technically my wife’s and she hated the DCT hesitation when pulling off from a stand still in heavy traffic . I always wanted to try the EV and took a chance based on Proton based the price, size, that's it really a Geely EX5 and features. I've had a few cars from ANSA and my experiences with them as been mostly positive.

My review:
The driving experience is smooth and quiet, and my wife likes it, says its a smooth drive and prefers it over the Tucson. Range is more than sufficient for her daily commute we could charge once a week if needed.

There are a few downsides:
Lack of a tonneau cover – I noticed Proton is now including one in Malaysia; I truly hope ANSA follows up with this
The Maps app does not include Trinidad.
The car comes with an eSIM - but not active in Trinidad.
I have to wait for the next OTA to add Apple CarPlay and add a save settings feature.

I had also considered the Haval H6 (but a facelift is due in December) and the BYD Sealion 7 (which was just out of budget). I have no regrets choosing the Proton.

Would I recommend it? Yes.

CarPlay OTA update confirmed ? I couldn’t function without CarPlay

According to the reports I've read, it should be out July 21st - fingers crossed: https://paultan.org/2025/07/02/2025-pro ... e-carplay/

I got the OS update with Apple Car Pay - works great as expected.

Nice man that’s great news. Never had a car with OTA updates. Does it automatically happen over night while on a charge or something ? Are you notified ? Might be dumb question but not familiar

I was expecting to connect to Wifi and get the update like a phone, that how they were getting it in Malaysia, but Ansa motors called me and asked me to come in for the update. It was released in Malaysia a week earlier. The update took about 3 hours. Seeing Waze in a 15 inch screen is like wow.

FYI before that the car had an app called carbitlink - that was really crappy. It allowed the phone screen to be mirrored to the big screen - but it was wonky.

Seems the dealership is the way for OTA updates in TT. One of my pardners bought his wife a GLC earlier this year and he had to carry it in to Sterling for OTA software updates back in June. They kept it for much longer than 3 hours though. I think a few days.
