In this week's edition of Cruise Control, our petrol heads discuss the rising popularity of EVs in Malaysia and look at its affordability for the regular Malaysian.

Kicking off with a reintroduction of Renault's compact electric, the Zoe, back in the Malaysian market with two variants. We also look ahead to Perodua's CSR initiative; providing 5 units of the Myvi to PDRM as patrol cars - keep your eyes peeled for the blue lights on the local compact kings!

And we round up with Daniel's guide on a 7 year old Land Rover Discovery Sport, a family friendly 7-seater which can still be found in immaculate conditions for your consideration.
