The Cruise Control duo Rich and Daniel returns this week to welcome a few additions to our local automotive market. The new generation Ford Ranger Raptors entered the scene with a petrol variant hoping to appeal to both urban and rural truckers, but just this week they've added a new turbo diesel variant to beef up their presence in the pick up truck segment. Also new in the scene are two new additions to the Mercedes Benz EQ series, the German giants reveal imported variants of the EQE and the EQS luxury sedans.

We also discuss the prospects of the local market as more Chinese car manufacturers prepare to enter Malaysia in the near future, and round it up with Daniel's positive impression of Honda's latest compact five-seater, the WR-V.
