Trust Us, This Volvo Ticks Every Box

Getting into gear with automotive headlines, Richard, Ali, and Daniel dive into the fresh facelift of the reliable Mitsubishi XPANDER MPV, get a taste of Mercedes' 2025 GLC350e 4MATIC PHEV and discover the rest of their EV range, and peek at Honda Malaysia's special edition of the Honda City.

Then, they ask: What exactly is a mild hybrid engine? Daniel takes us under the hood to reveal why MHEVs might be the practical solution you've been searching for to answer those electric car woes.

And finally, Daniel tells us how he's been bitten by the Volvo EX30 bug. Find out how this hothatch is delivering on all fronts in this week's car review.
