Haval Shakes up the SUV Market With the H6 HEV

Haval Shakes up the SUV Market With the H6 HEV

It's a two-man show on Cruise Control this week. In headlines, Ali and Daniel get into Honda Malaysia's proactive product update that affects 36,000 units of the Civic, Civic Type R, and CR-V (Honda drivers, don't miss this!), and Tesla Malaysia's new EV switcher programme that's offering ICE drivers a cash incentive to switch to EVs. In the world of two-wheelers, they find out why the air is buzzing with news of Ducati's latest models- the Panigale V2 and the Streetfighter V2- two sports bikes already ahead of the game. In other news, orders are open for the locally-assembled, first electric Omoda, the Chery Omoda E5, and Chinese automaker Neta fizzles out as production halts and cuts salaries - tune in to find out why.

Then, a speculative peek into Perodua's electric future! The announcement that Suzuki and Toyota will be strengthening their collab in the EV segment has Daniel asking: Will Perodua's first EV be a rebadged Suzuki e VITARA? It's more likely than you think.

And in the final stretch, a car review! This week, Great Wall Motors' Haval H6 HEV, the next hybrid SUV coming to Malaysia. In a sea of SUVs in the market this year, how does the Haval H6 stand out from the crowd? Daniel breaks it down.
