The 2006 Mercedes-Benz ML is A Suburban Family Icon

The 2006 Mercedes-Benz ML is A Suburban Family Icon

In this week's show, the trio discusses continued calls for cheaper electric cars in Malaysia and the hurdles that Proton and Perodua have to jump, in order to do so. They then mull over a recurring conversation about banning kapchais, before talking about Great Wall Motors' eventual entry into Malaysia. Following that, Ariff talks us through the facelifted Perodua Myvi and their new EZMOBi car subscription service, and two new all-electric people carriers from Hyundai and KIA.

 

For our Used Car Review, Daniel revisits the 2nd Generation Mercedes-Benz ML-Class - a classy and premium family SUV that has played many supporting roles in movies set in American suburbia. But since its launch here in Malaysia nearly 15 years ago, it's depreciated quite a fair bit, and despite its age, it's still a relatively modern car to buy and worth a second look in the Used Car market today.
