Alpine engineers traveled to Sweden to test the prototypes of the upcoming A290 in the harsh conditions of the polar circle.
Nothing beats extreme weather conditions, with temperatures dropping below -30°C, for the prototypes of the Alpine A290. These conditions were encountered by Alpine’s technical teams in Sweden on open tracks and roads in order to test the 5-seater compact electric car.
Engine responsiveness, performance, driving precision, and agility received the highest attention. An ideal environment to validate the proper functioning of many systems such as the heating, defogging and defrosting quality, or the electronic stability control system.

The prototype was presented for the first time in its final body, albeit camouflaged. An opportunity to confirm the dimensions of the small French car, with a length of 3,990 mm, a width of 1,820 mm, a height of 1,520 mm, and a wheelbase of 2,530 mm.
A small curiosity, the exclusive Alpine sport steering wheel in Nappa leather, with flattened top and bottom, features some controls specific to the racing environment, including the OV, a Boost mode, RCH for regenerative braking, and the driving mode selector.
These cold-weather tests in Sweden are an additional step in the development of the A290, which will be unveiled in June 2024.
