Car Review: Hyundai's Diesel MPV - the Staria

In this edition of Cruise Control, we discuss electric vans, electric cars and even electric workshops - do we have one in Malaysia? Our trio starts off with some notable car launches, beginning with Honda's crowd favourite the HR-V, back with a new and improved edition for 2022 landing on our shores really soon. BMW were pretty busy as well as they announced the fully electric M-badged i4 M50 to the Malaysian market, together with the beautiful M5 and M5 Competition models in conjunction with the 50th anniversary of the car maker's M brand. We also saw the release of a first electric commercial van, as Dong Feng's EC35 makes its debut to serve the freight sector.

Next, we discuss where and how local Tesla owners will go for repair works, seeing that there are no authorized workshops in the country just yet. We round it off with Daniel's impression of a 7-seater built for luxury, Hyundai's diesel powered MPV, the Staria.
