Build Your EV Dreams With a Secondhand Dolphin

It's not Cruise Control without the biggest automotive headlines of the week! This week, Richard, Ali, and Daniel dive into the three models of the brand new next-gen Volvo EX30 and similar EVs on the market it's going up against, check out BMW's latest upgrade of the popular 5 series, the 520i M Sport, unveiled this week, and BYD's all-new all-electric M6 MPV coming to Malaysia that's already made waves in the region.

Then, hybrid's back! It looks like hybrid cars are making a dramatic comeback around the world as countries aren't ready for fully-electric cars. With Toyota and Honda sticking to their hybrid guns amidst the EV wave, Daniel ponders: Were they on the right track all along? Tune in to find out.

And the used car guide returns! This week, it's the BYD Dolphin. Just over a year after its debut on Malaysian roads, the award-winning car is popping up in the used car market. Daniel tells us why it's the best value electric car if you're looking to make that long-awaited EV switch.
