In the news this week, we catch up with our neighbours' plans to stimulate their respective auto industries, as well as our Ministry of Transport's plans to regulate eScooters and eBicycles, and their updates on road tax renewals. There's plenty of cars (and an ebicycle) to go through this week, with the launch of the Nissan Almera Turbo, Mercedes-Benz's new S-Class, Jeep's plug-in Wrangler, and Vinfast's USD$160,000 SUV.

For our used car review, we're taking a look at the 2012-2019 Volvo V40 - a level-headed premium hatchback that often flies under the radar for those who seek a premium hatchback with plenty of kit. At around RM60-80k, it's certainly a good shout if you're looking at a brand-new Japanese hatchback.
