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.
