The Jaguar XE Is A Left-Field Sports Saloon

The MCO returns this week, but in the news, we go over the government's decision to not increase the toll rates on Malaysian highways, and PDRM's suggestions to standardize our numberplates and include microchips in them. As for the car launches, we discuss the new Mitsubishi XPANDER, a Honda N7X concept, a DS3 Crossback and the all-new Honda Civic.

As for our car review, Daniel reviews the Jaguar XE and why he thinks it's a car with a different disposition to the traditional German sports saloon. It may be rather expensive and underpowered compared to BMW's M340i, but it's still lots fun to drive, well-thought out and somewhat conservative.
