Budget 2025: Hooray for Automotive Users?

It's that time of the week - it's your favourite car show! This week, Ali, Richard, and Daniel start things off with some headlines. Starting off, a glimpse at the long-awaited Haval H6 HEV as it rolls into the market with some impressive features and even more impressive price tag, then the launch of BYD's 7-seater electric MPV, the BYD M6, Mitsubishi's all-new Triton pick-up truck tearing up both rural and city roads, and Leapmotor's C10 EV SUV making its Southeast Asian debut.

Then, it's time to get into the Budget 2025 announcements for the automotive industry. Daniel breaks down the move towards targeted subsidies on RON95 petrol coming mid-2025, the cost coverage of motorcycle licenses for underprivileged youths, and the distribution of free motorcycle helmets. Does Belanjawan 2025 actually address Malaysia's most pressing automotive needs? Tune in to find out.

And finally, a car review! Daniel reveals his thoughts from his time behind the wheel of the new XPENG G6 premium electric SUV. Can it stand up with the big boys in the European EV market? Get a rundown on the new kid on the EV block.
