The Electric Luxury of BMW's i7

The Electric Luxury of BMW's i7

Cruise Control is back this week previewing new car launches in the local and regional markets. Locally, our Prime Minister launched a new electric MPV, as the Maxus MIFA 9 makes its debut. Chinese carmakers continue to create a ripple in the Asean market, after Changan announced their arrival in the Thai market with a new basecamp located in the Rayong province. Globally, Volvo continues to blaze the EV trail, this time with a beautiful family MPV dubbed the EM90.

We also discuss the purpose of an official visit by the Chinese Vice President Han Zheng to Proton's manufacturing plant in Tanjung Malim; and round off this week's episode with Daniel's glowing review of the latest electric luxury by BMW, as he got behind the wheels of the elegant BMW i7.
