In this week's edition of Cruise Control, our trio of petrol heads mull over the problem with our flimsy road tax slips, amidst a flurry of interesting new compact and sporty SUVs. Honda's announcement of their HRV RS e:HEV model looks set to send potential customers bee-lining to place their orders, as the Jaguar XF also launched with a new look for 2022. Speaking of SUVs, we preview Maserati's Grecale which could be yours for slightly less than RM500k, as well as the Proton X70 1.5L variant which is set to appeal to those wishing the previous 1.8 litre model to be more fuel efficient.

We round up with a car review, as Daniel recounts his experience driving Volvo's new electric SUV, the XC40 Recharge.
