This week on Cruise Control, our petrolheads discuss the latest in the automotive industry complete with an impressive test drive of an all-new compact SUV.

Kicking off with a preview of Kia's flagship seven-seater, the Sorento, which will be locally assembled starting next year; we also look forward to Audi building up its fleet of the performance-based RS line, welcoming the sporty RS3 Sedan to their Malaysian catalog. China's BYD are also looking to introduce an electric MPV, its family-friendly BYD e6 set to land on our shores in the coming months.

We also ponder the future of second-hand dealers Carsome, after the outfit confirmed a 10% retrenchment on their workforce; and finish off the show with a round trip to Kuala Terengganu on the new and improved Honda HR-V 1.5L Turbo V.
