BMW i5 - Simply Electrifying!

BMW i5 - Simply Electrifying!

Cruise Control zooms in again with news of car launches involving Mercedes, BYD and surprise, surprise, MG! MG returns to our shores with an EV in the form of MG4. This sleek car gains the attention of Daniel Fernandez and we end up comparing this car to another stellar release from Build Your Dreams, the BYD Seal.

It's more news in the second part of the show, as the Volvo C4 Recharge received an update, while Triumph releases their latest Scrambler models, the Scrambler 400 X and the Scrambler Speed S, which are priced reasonably well.

Last but not least, Daniel shares his thoughts on BMW's newest EV, the i5 Electric Sedan. Does the car live up to the brand's reputation and legacy? Tune in to find out!
