The Plug-in Hybrid in a Class of Its Own

Ali and Daniel get your favourite car show rolling this week with some news, with the Proton X70 getting a 2025 facelift already looking at some fierce competition in the form of the MG HS SUV already hitting showrooms. On the EV front, find out how XPENG are taking on the market with the G6, all about the EQS SUV, Mercedes-Benz's luxurious yet powerful seven-seater, and how Chinese automaker Dongfeng is speeding into the Malaysian market with the Box.

Then, Daniel calls on the powers to ensure Singaporean motorists with unpaid traffic summonses in Malaysia pay up! They unpack how the new Vehicle Entry Permit system coming into effect soon will help address the accumulated 35,011 outstanding traffic fines estimated to total around RM3.5 million.

Finally, a car review! Plug-in hybrid tech has evolved, and the Mercedes C-Class 350e Plug-In Hybrid is the perfect example of why it's time to get rid of the hybrid woes of yesteryear. Daniel takes us behind the wheel and under the hood.
