Named A290_β, this new versatile sports vehicle from the French brand Alpine will make its first appearance on May 9th in Bristol (England).
The French brand Alpine, whose model A110 is well known, teased its new versatile sports vehicle yesterday. Nicknamed the A290_β, it aligns with the brand’s goal of offering a 100% electric range for everyone by 2026.
Following the announcement of the C-Crossover GT and the Alpine A110 E-ternité, a third vehicle is set to be unveiled… on May 9th in Bristol (England). This will be done through a live online and in-person presentation!

What we know about the new Alpine A290_β
For now, the information about the Alpine is limited to just a few details. Alpine is playing a cat-and-mouse game with its communication. The brand only offers a small sneak peek of information about its new vehicle. However, we know it will be part of Alpine’s 100% electric lineup, along with the replacement for the A110 and the C-Crossover GT.
The outline of the new Alpine’s lines has been available since this morning through a teaser. The car somewhat resembles a city car, which confirms the rumors from recent months on this subject. Additionally, the Alpine logo with the name A290_β has been placed on the back of the car.
Furthermore, the name of the new Alpine was no random choice. Continuing the brand’s naming tradition starting with a big A, the letter A will also prefix the new sporty Alpine vehicle. The number 90 refers to the “versatile sports vehicles of the brand.” These are suitable both for daily commuting and for slightly more intense weekend trips. The « β » references the beta test used in the software world—the testing phase just before the final version.
For those interested in technical details, the CMF-BEV platform by Renault will produce the new vehicle. It will include batteries from Verkor following the new partnership between the two brands. The recycling and French production of these batteries for electric vehicles will help reduce transportation and logistics costs for future cars.
So many good news for the brand’s future!
