In this week's edition of Cruise Control, Ali Johan and Daniel Fernandez go through a busy week in the automotive industry with a host of new car launches, both the petrol and electric variants alike. Beginning with a triple header by Mercedes Benz, who announced three new models of their AMG-tuned vehicles; Maserati's new supercar the MC20; a facelift version of Jaguar's F Pace; plus two new electric cars by Kia and Great Wall Motors respectively.

Next, we compare and contrast two new releases set to make waves in the Malaysian market - the Toyota Veloz and Perodua's new Alza, as Daniel gives us his verdict on which to go for if you're in the market for MPVs.

And we round it off with Daniel's thoughts on the ever-popular Volkswagen Golf GTI, after taking the 2022 edition of the hatchback for a spin.
