🎙️ Episode Description
In this episode of VUMA FM – Wheels’ N Journeys, Edwin Naidu takes us on a journey between two very different philosophies of modern motoring — emotional performance and effortless electric mobility.
First up is a tantalising teaser of the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio. While the full drive is still to come, Edwin shares his early impressions of this Ferrari-inspired performance sedan, unpacking its unmistakable Italian presence, passionate design, and the kind of driver-focused engineering that promises to turn every journey into an event.
The conversation then shifts to the Volvo EX30, a compact electric SUV that represents a quieter, more mindful approach to driving. Having driven it, Edwin breaks down how the EX30 feels on the road, from its smooth acceleration and stress-free daily usability to its beautifully minimalist interior and strong Scandinavian design identity.
Rounding off the episode is Edwin’s Motoring Tip of the Week, offering practical advice for those transitioning from petrol to electric vehicles, and his Song of the Week, “Electric Avenue” by Eddy Grant — the perfect soundtrack for the EV conversation.
Whether you’re drawn to the thrill of Italian performance or the calm confidence of electric driving, this episode captures the contrast, character, and choices shaping the future of motoring.
