Cruise Control returns this week with a couple of new luxury SUVs from continental giants, as Mercedes, BMW and Audi launched the GLA 200, the X5 PHEV and the SQ8 e-Tron respectively. We also look ahead to an electrified version of the Volkswagen Golf GTI, which has just been confirmed for production.

Fresh off Perodua's visit to Italy recently, we discuss the prospects of Perodua's electrification plans, given our current EV infrastructure. We round off this episode with a used car guide, Daniel reviewing a 2011 edition of the Mini Countryman.
