Is the Alfa Junior hybrid more efficient than my Toyota?
The question
I drive a Toyota CH-R Sport 1.8, but I'm thinking of buying an Alfa Romeo Junior hybrid. I live in the countryside; which car would be more fuel efficient for me?

Hi John,
As you're considering changing car, I'm going to assume you have the previous-generation C-HR. Officially this used 4.8 litres/100km, which equates to 58.9mpg.
The new Alfa Romeo Junior hybrid's official figures are remarkably close, and our tester saw 6.5 litres/100km at the car's international launch. Cars are often driven quicker in these scenarios so that bodes well for the Junior to manage well under 6.0 litres/100km for most drivers.
You'll know yourself how the C-HR does at your hands - in comparison to the official numbers - so make a call on which would be more efficient for you based on that.
For what it's worth, we do really like the Junior. Read our first drive of the Junior Ibrida here.
