The boys are back this week on Cruise Control! News of the latest local launches means SUV galore as Chery has rocked the Malaysian market with the Tiggo 7 Pro, and Mercedes-Benz has thrown their hat into the ring with facelift editions of their family-friendly GLB200 and GLB250. Then, a peek at the unbelievable, new Porsches at the Porsche World Roadshow at the Sepang circuit until the end of the week. And in the global auto world, tariffs imposed on Chinese EVs continue.

Next, just over two weeks since diesel subsidy reforms began, finance minister Datuk Seri Amir Hamzah Azizan claims that diesel sales have dropped 30%. Daniel weighs in with his own observations on the ground and other ways we're already seeing the impact of the price hike.

And what better way to drive us home than a review for the brand new all-electric Mercedes-Benz EQS AMG 4MATIC! Daniel, Richard, and Ali tell us what it was like behind the wheel and in the comfort of the luxury sedan's rear seat.
