An Impressive Hybrid Sedan

This week on Cruise Control, our automotive trio discuss badge snobbery; hassle-free access for reports on used & reconditioned cars from Malaysia, Japan and the UK; our next step in EV infrastructure; topped off with a buzzing test drive at the Sepang International Circuit.

The much-awaited Toyota Veloz finally arrives in Malaysia, as the Japanese juggernauts unleash its premium crossover MPV to the local market this month. Bargain hunters also take note: you can now find out previous records of that used Japanese car you've been eyeing on the CTOS Digital's newly minted Vehicle Check website.

We also look ahead to Proton's recent MOU with Gentari, signaling a step forward for the local EV roadmap. Finally, Daniel recounts his impression from behind the wheels of Honda's latest hybrid sedan, the Civic e:HEV RS.
