Cruise Control is back this week with the latest headlines from in and around the automotive world. It's been a bright week for Chinese manufacturers as Great Wall Motors announced a new pick up truck, whilst fellow countrymen Zontes dropped two nippy little scooter bikes to entice Malaysians. We also take a first look at a souped-up edition of a popular motorbike model in Malaysia, as Yamaha's Y Suku gets a few cosmetic upgrades.

Our conversation turns into premium electric SUVs as Daniel shares his first impressions getting behind the wheels of BMW's latest iX xDrive 50.
