This week on Cruise Control, our trio of petrol heads discuss JPJ’s recent announcement of barring heavy vehicles on main roads in Kuala Lumpur, and mull over the future of Audi in Malaysia in light of the recent closure of the German company’s service center in Setia Alam.

Next, Daniel ponders on the electric car boom around the region, sharing his thoughts on the sustainability of car companies entering the EV sphere.

And finally, we round off with a test drive of the luxurious Mercedes-Benz S580e.
