Cruise Control returns this week with news of the brand new SUVs that have finally hit Malaysian showrooms: Range Rover's Evoque 2024 and the 2024 Kia Carnival. We also discuss what we can expect from the recently announced Tank 300 from GWM that will be entering the local market soon, and share our speculations on the Mitsubishi Xforce now that the model has been put into production in Indonesia.

Then, we shift gears to electric cars as we take a look at the top 10 most searched EVs in North America right now.

Finally, we round off the episode with a review of the diesel-powered pickup truck, the Ford Ranger Platinum.
