The Emas project is a the outcome of several years of study. Developed for the Malaysian manufacturer Proton, it was developed to optimize the interior space and the ergonomics of the access to the car. Roominess is that of a segment D saloon, exterior dimensions are those of a segment A car. The Emas family, powered by a series plug-in hybrid system by Lotus Engineering, features three different settings: Emas, Emas Country and Emas3.
PACKAGE
A city car with an SUV roominess
"We have created a family of models in different configurations but all offering the passenger room of a medium-category car while maintaining the exterior dimensions of a compact mini. The architecture has been designed in such a way as to allow us to outfit an infinite number of variants without compromising the car's great comfort and extensive interior space" explained Giorgetto Giugiaro, Chairman of Italdesign Giugiaro.
The five door version packs a 320 litre luggage compartment able to house two medium-sized suitcases with ease into a length of just 3550 mm.
Rear seat comfort when you enter and leave the car is absolutely unprecedented, the distance from the front seat is comparable to that of an SUV.
The seat H point is at the same height as the passengers' hips: you do not "get down" into your car as in a coupè, you do not "climb up" as in an SUV but you "enter" in a natural way.
