It could be sold in Singapore as early as August 2025.
The e.MAS 7 was Malaysia's best-selling EV for the first four months of 2025.
According to a Dec. 16 Business Times article, Vincar, the appointed car dealer, will have a flagship showroom in the Leng Kee automotive belt.
The model to be launched in Singapore is expected to fall under the pricier Category B COE bracket.
It is estimated to be sold for S$174,000, which is five times the starting price in Malaysia.
It was also noted that the electric car takes about 20 minutes to charge from 30 per cent to 80 per cent with DC fast charging.
It has a range of about 345km.
