MPVs are practical choices for families who want to travel in comfort, and luxury MPVs seem to be the preferred choice among those who can afford them. Despite the rise in the number of luxury MPVs from China, consumers in Malaysia seem to still prefer Japanese MPVs - to the point where they would rather pick used Japanese MPVs in the grey market. Why is this the case? Daniel shares his thoughts and theories.In our discussion segment, we speak about the potential return of physical knobs, buttons and levers in vehicle cabins, as Audi plans to bring them back. Is this the right move, as the industry grows tired of using touchscreens to control everything in the car?In our news segment, we talk about Jaecoo's new J5 EV, Volkswagen launching the Tayron SUV at a competitive price point here in Malaysia and both Xiaomi and Chery announcing their new Extended Range EV (EREV) over in China, among other news items.Photo credit: Harazaki Ananta Hondro / Shutterstock.com
