Omoda E5, A Car Worth Cherry-Picking

The Chinese auto invasion hits Cruise Control this week as Ali, Richard, and Daniel get into the biggest headlines from Chinese automakers. This week, GAC is set to make a mark in the local market with its first CKD factory in Segambut, Chery Omoda 5 earns the Prestigious ASEAN NCAP 5-star rating, and- you heard it here first- the latest EV landing on our shores is the Zeekr X from the premium Chinese automaker.

Then, an appeal from Cruise Control: Protect kids in your neighbourhood if you see them behind the wheel! They unpack the news of a 12-year-old who was charged this week after a video of him driving a car in Puchong went viral.

Finally, they drive us home with a car review! This week, it's all about the Chery Omoda E5 Electric SUV. Tune in to find out why Daniel thinks that, if you're looking for an EV, the electric version of the popular Chery Omoda might be the one for you.
