The Price War Returns With A Vengeance!

The Price War Returns With A Vengeance!

The saturation of new cars in the market has led to this inevitability - a price war! Manufacturers are slashing prices of their cars left, right, and centre, with established brands joining the Chinese manufacturers. We break down some of the discounts currently available in the market.

But first, we talk about the rising numbers of cars catching fire and what might cause them. Tune in for a quick reminder on what we can do to prevent them.

In our news segment, we highlight the brand new cars entering the market, from GAC with their new Emkoo SUV, to Chery with two new plug-in hybrids - the Tiggo 7 and 8. We also cover Xpeng with their brand new G6, as well as Proton teasing the market-disrupting price of the new e.MAS 5.
