IF YOU LIKE the look of the Alfa Romeo Junior Elettrica small SUV but are put off by it being electric, you're in luck. The Junior is now available with petrol power, so it has the same sharp looks but you'll never need to plug it in.

Under the bonnet is the 134bhp 1.2-litre mild hybrid petrol engine that you'll also find in the Peugeot 2008. There's more than enough performance for everyday driving; getting up to motorway speeds is a doddle, while the electric assistance from the mild hybrid system minimises hesitation when setting off.
