Cruise Control returns this week featuring an exclusive chat with Jaguar TCS Racing team principal James Barclay, as we caught up with the man during a recent visit to Seoul, Korea. Barclay discusses Jaguar's electric motorsport team as well as their future plans in pursuit of a sustainable electric revolution.

Kicking off with some headlines from the week, we look ahead to locally assembled editions of the Mercedes C Class, which will be put together in Pekan, Pahang beginning this year. We also discuss the prospects of trialling electric buses on the island of Langkawi, and how it can help pave the way for more electric infrastructures country-wide.

And we round off with Daniel's review of a refreshed variant of the Proton X70, now kitted with a brand new 1.5L turbocharged engine; proving to be a much better proposition compared to its predecessor.
