Alpine has spent more than fifty years chasing lightness, agility and motorsport-bred performance, from the A110 Berlinette's win at the 1971 Monte Carlo Rally through to a modern Formula 1 team on the grid today. That same philosophy now carries into Alpine's first fully electric road cars. The new Alpine range at Vertu currently spans the compact, hot hatch-inspired A290 and the all-wheel drive sport fastback A390, with more electric models due to join the line-up as Alpine works towards seven new models by 2030.
Whichever model suits your driving, a Vertu Alpine dealership can talk you through specification, finance and current deals.
Alpine's current UK range covers two distinct types of car: a compact electric hot hatch and a larger electric sport fastback SUV. Both are built around the same idea of lightness, agility and motorsport-derived engineering, translated into two very different shapes.
The Alpine A290 recognises its motorsport roots inside and out, placing every occupant at the heart of its driving experience. Two tunes of electric motor deliver up to 220hp (160kW), with 0-100km/h (0-62mph) achieved in as little as 6.4 seconds on the most powerful GTS version. A 52kWh battery gives a combined WLTP range of up to 380km (236 miles), with rapid charging from 15-80% in around 30 minutes.
Underneath, a sport-tuned Alpine chassis with hydraulic bump stops keeps the ride composed, while exclusive 19-inch rims with specialist Michelin tyre compounds are built for precise cornering. An F1-inspired steering wheel sits at the centre of the "Feel at One" cockpit, complete with an OV button for instant maximum power and an RCH dial for selectable brake regeneration. Dual-tone Nappa leather with the Tricolore flag lifts the interior further, alongside a Devialet audio system with nine speakers including a subwoofer.
The Alpine A390 is an electric sport fastback like no other, and the first all-wheel drive Alpine. Intelligent Alpine Active Torque Vectoring makes a true virtue of its innovative three e-motor setup, with grip, control and everyday safety making the A390 the most versatile Alpine yet.
As a five-seat sport fastback, the A390 offers up to 1,643 litres of luggage volume with the rear seats folded, making it the most versatile Alpine of all. Its feel and feedback draw inspiration from the Alpine A110, delivering sports car sensations in an elegant fastback design, with an exclusive Alpine steering wheel inspired by F1 and an overtake button that brings thrilling sensations to the road.
Technology carries through both models. The A290 and A390 are built around Alpine's "Feel at One" cockpit, connecting driver and machine through an F1-inspired steering wheel and a widescreen digital instrument display that switches between distinct designs, each staying true to Alpine heritage with a mountain silhouette.
Both cars run the connected Alpine-Portal multimedia system with Google built-in, giving hands-free help with calls, music and specific vehicle functions through Google Assistant, along with Google Maps to help locate charging stations along a journey. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are available too, replicating smartphone apps in high definition.
Alpine Telemetrics offers data analysis and coaching through a dedicated smartphone app, with live monitoring of lap times, g-force, throttle and brake performance, and challenges based on Alpine's motorsport DNA to help drivers sharpen their skills and progress like a real racer.
Both models come with a comprehensive suite of advanced driver safety systems as standard, including contextual adaptive cruise control, LED matrix vision headlights, 360-degree around view cameras, and automatic emergency braking, with the A390 offering 32 advanced driver safety systems in total.
