On Cruise Control this week, Ali and Daniel rev things up with the biggest highlights from the Malaysia Autoshow 2024: Perodua's first EV prototype in the form of the eMO-1 Myvi conversion, Neta Auto's latest offerings, and the brand new smart #3.

Next, from four wheels to two wheels, they get into the new models rolling into our showrooms from two motorcycle icons; Vespa's Sprint and Primavera, to Triumph's upgraded Scrambler 1200 X and XE, the Tiger 900, and the Daytona 660. Then, it's all about the new players in the Malaysian market hailing from China- GAC Group and BAIC Motor- and the models they're making a splash with.

Finally, if you've got your eyes on a pre-owned Renault, you're in luck. Find out why you should definitely consider a Renault Captur in this week's used car guide.
