Luxury Sedans Under RM70k

Luxury Sedans Under RM70k

This week our petrolheads sift through the latest launches in the local market, discuss a little bit about Proton's upward bounce in the last couple of years, and round off with a guide to purchasing a used luxury sedan that you can drive home for below RM70k.

Hot off the press, Mercedes-Benz unveils their fourth EQ car this year with the arrival of the imported edition of the EQE 350+, completing their all electric fleet with a beautiful sports sedan. Also fresh in the market is Volvo's all electric C40, which is now available for orders at your local Volvo dealership. Elsewhere, Triumph Motorcycles have also signed on a new distributorship deal promising an updated line of motorbikes in their catalogue for 2023.

We also discuss the resurgence of Proton since Geely took over, what they've done to their fleet and how their fortunes have turned since the introduction of the X70 SUV. We round off the show with a guide to purchasing a used luxury sedan, pitting together the 2012 Audi A8L against the more prestigious Jaguar XJ-L.
