Geely has officially launched the new Starry6 sedan in China, and it is widely expected to become the next model under the Proton e.MAS brand in Malaysia.
A four‑door family sedan, the Starry6 is positioned as an efficient plug‑in hybrid model, making it a strong candidate for Proton’s new energy lineup.
Key Specifications
- Dimensions: 4,806 mm (L) × 1,886 mm (W) × 1,490 mm (H)
- Wheelbase: 2,756 mm
- Boot space: 609 litres
- Fuel tank: 52 litres
It is sized similarly to a typical C‑segment sedan, focusing on space, comfort and practicality – ideal for family users.
Powertrain & Efficiency
The Starry6 uses Geely’s latest EM‑i 雷神 AI Hybrid 2.0 system.
- 1.5L engine: 82 kW (110 hp), 136 Nm
- Front motor: 120 kW (161 hp), 210 Nm
- Paired with E‑DHT transmission
Two LFP battery options:
- 8.5 kWh: 60 km CLTC pure electric range
- 17 kWh: 125 km CLTC pure electric range
Combined fuel consumption is rated at just 2.8–2.9 L/100 km (CLTC).
Why It Fits Proton e.MAS
Proton e.MAS currently has no sedan in its range, and the Starshine 6 would fill this gap perfectly.
It emphasises maturity, efficiency and family usability – matching Proton’s current product direction.
Proton has not officially confirmed the model for Malaysia, but platform sharing, mature hybrid technology and cost structure make it a strong and practical choice for the local market.
