Pause

On Cruise Control this week, our trio discuss the latest in local and global automotive news. Starting with Proton's recent announcement on their electric vehicle outfit ProNET, the Kia EV6's arrival in Malaysia, as well as Mitsubishi Triton's massive sales numbers for last year.

We also compare and contrast two similarly spec'd EV's; as we pit the Tesla Y versus the incoming Volco C40 to help you decide which badge to go for and why.

Finally, if you're in the market for a used 7-year old compact crossover that's easy to run and maintain, Daniel shares his glowing review of the 2015 model of the Mitsubishi ASX.
