Alpine has revealed the first details about its electric hatchback derived from the upcoming Renault 5. R5 Alpine spirit, are you there?
The A290 marks a new chapter in the exciting history of Alpine. Building on its heritage and sporty DNA, the brand is venturing into new segments, starting with the category of sporty city cars. Through its design, materials, and technologies, this sporty derivative of the new Renault 5 E-Tech illustrates a new way of experiencing electric sportiness. At a time when decarbonized mobility is becoming crucial in the automotive sector, the Alpine A290 aims to embody a strong and committed ambition for the brand, in favor of sustainable sportiness.
Alpine has decided to play the game of sharing information only bit by bit. A clever and always friendly way to keep us waiting until the official presentation of the car, expected on the roads in 2024.
Before discussing power or price, we now know some technical data. The Alpine A290 will be 3.99 meters long, 1.82 meters wide, and 1.52 meters high. With a wheelbase of 2.53 meters, it should provide a playful character behind the wheel, especially since the weight is announced to be under 1500 kg. It will inherit brakes from the A110 and will feature custom Michelin tires.
No information yet on the motorization, but knowing that Renault will draw from its pool of components to equip this high-voltage hatchback, we can imagine a 160 kW (220 horsepower) engine under the hood, similar to that of the Megane E-Tech.
