The Alpine A290 is an exciting new electric vehicle that combines the legendary heritage of Alpine sports cars with cutting-edge EV technology. Powered by either a 180-horsepower or 220-horsepower electric motor, the A290 offers two distinct levels of performance to suit different driving preferences. Both configurations are designed to deliver a dynamic, sporty drive, staying true to Alpine’s DNA of agility, precision, and performance. With a 0 to 100 km/h acceleration time as low as 6.4 seconds, this compact electric hot hatch is positioned to be one of the most thrilling EVs in its category.

Built on Alpine’s AmpR Small platform, the A290 is engineered for optimal weight distribution and a low center of gravity, enhancing stability and control. This electric hot hatch measures just under 4 meters in length, with a compact yet aggressive design that’s ideal for urban environments but equally capable on open roads. The platform’s wide tracks and reinforced structure contribute to an athletic stance, while the overall weight is kept at a competitive 1,479 kg, offering a balanced feel that’s well-suited for both spirited driving and daily commutes.

The Alpine A290 comes equipped with a 52 kWh battery, providing an estimated range of up to 380 kilometers on a full charge, based on the WLTP cycle. This battery capacity is complemented by 100 kW DC fast charging, allowing the A290 to charge from 15% to 80% in just 30 minutes. Additionally, it supports AC charging at 11 kW, offering flexibility for different charging setups. The battery is not only designed to support long drives but also has bi-directional capabilities, supporting V2L (vehicle-to-load) and V2G (vehicle-to-grid) functions, making the A290 a versatile electric car that can integrate seamlessly into a modern, energy-conscious lifestyle.

The A290 is available in four trim levels: GT, GT Premium, GT Performance, and GTS. The entry-level GT offers a robust 180 hp, heated sports seats, a Nappa leather steering wheel, and the Alpine Portal infotainment system with Google integration. The GT Premium takes things up a notch with Nappa leather upholstery, a Devialet premium audio system, and a heated steering wheel, making it ideal for drivers who prioritize comfort. For those looking for a sportier edge, the GT Performance and GTS versions feature a 220 hp motor, Michelin Pilot Sport 5 tires, and enhanced performance features, delivering an intense driving experience. The GTS, at the top of the range, also includes exclusive black Snowflake wheels and combines the best features of both comfort and sport trims.

Inside, the Alpine A290 boasts a driver-focused cockpit with a 10.25-inch digital driver’s display and a 10.1-inch central touchscreen powered by Android Automotive. The central display integrates the Alpine Portal system, offering access to navigation, media, and a route planner designed for EVs. The interface is designed for easy control, providing essential driving information in a layout inspired by Alpine’s motorsport heritage. The center console includes intuitive gear selectors and a storage area with Alpine’s signature Snowflake pattern, combining modern tech with Alpine’s classic design language.

For performance enthusiasts, the A290 comes with Alpine Telemetrics, a system that includes Live Data, Coaching, and Challenges modes. Live Data provides real-time driving stats like G-forces and acceleration, while Coaching mode offers tips to improve driving techniques. Challenges mode adds a gamified element, allowing drivers to unlock achievements based on driving performance. The A290 also features an adjustable regenerative braking system with four levels, letting drivers tailor their experience for maximum energy efficiency or a sportier feel.

The Alpine A290 starts at an estimated €39,500 for the base GT version, with prices rising across the trim levels up to the GTS at €48,500. This competitive pricing positions the A290 as an attractive option in the electric hot hatch market, combining Alpine’s signature performance attributes with modern electric mobility. With the A290, Alpine is making a bold statement in the EV world, bringing an iconic sports car heritage into the era of sustainable driving.
