EV or Hybrid?

EV or Hybrid?

Cruise Control returns with Rich and Daniel this week previewing some exciting new entries into the local market, mainly from China. It's not long until we see brands like Jetour, GAC and Leapmotor grace Malaysian roads, the new players are keen to offer local car buyers alternatives to what's currently available in the market. 

Our discussion this week is an interesting one; pitting an EV with a hybrid compact crossover. Both are around the same price, we consider its multi purpose, reliability, and overall appeal. We close off the show with Daniel's glowing review of the latest generation of the Range Rover Sport.
