    Family member has a problem with arm and shoulder and cannot use the handbrake on the current car (Mercedes A150, 2019).

    Any recommendations on a small petrol car with electric handbrake? (not electric vehicle)

    Not many small cars have an electric parking brake. That segment tends to be built to a lower cost point for manufacturers and a traditional handbrake is cheaper.

    Would the family member be open to a small crossover? Current generation Nissan Juke/Renault Captur/Hyundai Kona all have an electric parking brake, obviously cost a bit more though.

    Edit: Honda Jazz petrol hybrid has one:
