Lexus RZ 450e, A BEV with Lexus Engineering

Your favourite automotive show is back, as always, with the biggest headlines in the auto world. Ali and Daniel look at the long-awaited Mazda CX-60 SUV finally making its debut in Malaysia in a few weeks and get a quick peek at the nitty gritty of the six new luxury Mercedes-Benz models rolled out this week. They also show two-wheelers a bit of love as they dive into the upgraded 2024 model of the Triumph Trident 660 and the powerful 2024 Aprilia RS 457 sports bike.

Then, the EV discussion continues: Are European EV models moving back to petrol? Daniel and Ali break down why EV sales have slowed down significantly in Europe and how European carmakers are making the switch, led by Porsche.

And our final destination this week, it's a car review of the Lexus RZ 450e. Lexus' first model developed as a battery electric vehicle from the outset, this premium electric car has the makings to be a segment favourite. Tune in to hear about Daniel's test drive.
