Cruise Control returns this week previewing a couple of interesting new launches in the local market, as Kia unveils their flagship SUV, the all new Sorento, now locally assembled. On the luxe end of things, Maserati's Grecale GT added a hybrid engine to its variant, plus a sneak preview of the second generation Hyundai Kona set to hit the international markets soon.

We also discuss the quiet disappearance of Volkswagen Golf's R Line from VWs local showrooms, and rounding it off with Daniel waxing lyrical on the impressive Honda Civic RS e:HEV.
