The Alpine A290 is a performance-oriented, all-electric hot hatch based on the new Renault 5 supermini. As the second model from Renault’s Alpine performance sub-brand, it combines sporty driving dynamics with modern EV technology. The range-topping A290 GTS delivers 217 horsepower, accelerating from 0-60mph in 6.4 seconds, and offers a 236-mile WLTP range from its 52kWh battery. With 100kW DC fast-charging, it can recharge from 15-80% in just 30 minutes. The A290 is also available in a lower-spec GT version with 178bhp, starting at £33,500, while the GTS comes in at £38,000. This marks a bold step into the future of electric performance cars for Alpine.
