All this is according to research conducted by the CarGurus Manual Handbrake Report since 2018. In 2018, 37 percent of all models still had a conventional handbrake lever, but by 2023 that will have dropped to just 9 percent. Thus, as many as 91 percent of all models already have electronic parking brakes. This is often a small switch incorporated on the center tunnel.<\/p>\n

These car brands do still have a handbrake<\/h2>\n

The brands currently offering the highest percentage of models with a handbrake are Suzuki (71% – five out of seven models), Abarth (66% – two out of three models), Dacia (50% – two out of four models), Fiat (45% – five out of 11 models) and Ssangyong (40% – two out of five models). Incidentally, the study did not look at the smaller players in the car market. Caterham, for example, has only models with a normal handbrake.<\/p>\n

Smaller and cheaper gasoline cars still have ordinary handbrake<\/h2>\n

The once universal handbrake is now largely reserved for smaller and cheaper gasoline cars, including the Kia Picanto and Mazda 2. However, the reality is that there is a good chance that the manual handbrake will be extinct in mainstream cars by the end of this decade.<\/p>\n

Electronic handbrake sharply more expensive<\/h2>\n

An electronic handbrake offers the driver more convenience with automatic control and Hill Hold features that make starting on a slope easier. But the manual handbrake also offers advantages. For example, it is cheaper to replace. Repairing an electronic handbrake can be as much as three times as expensive as a manual handbrake. A normal handbrake costs about 230 euros, versus 680 euros for an electronic handbrake. <\/p>\n

Drivers are also more likely to know how to find a handbrake lever in an emergency, rather than a small button. The old-fashioned handbrake also often gives a more tactile, mechanical feel that some drivers prefer. So soon that will really be over.<\/p>\n
