This week's edition of Cruise Control returns with two launches, leads on Chinese electric vehicles, topped with a buyers guide to a slightly dated electric car.

Kia just unveiled an all-new look to their flagship SUV, the Sorento, which will be locally assembled. Elsewhere, Peugeot is set to launch their first pick-up truck in years, as the Landtrek prepares for a local release.

Our conversation goes into more electric vehicle territory, as Daniel predicts more EVs from China that's set to rock the local automotive scene. And rounding off with a used car guide if you're contemplating on a 2019 Nissan Leaf that's available in the second hand market.
