Alpine Unveils A390 Electric Crossover, Paving Way for All-Electric Future

Alpine, the performance-oriented marque of Renault, is expanding its electric vehicle offerings with the introduction of the A390. This new model is a mid-size coupe-crossover, measuring 4.6 meters in length, and is designed to blend sporty performance with everyday usability. It boasts a distinctive design with two rows of seating and a practical 532-liter trunk.

The A390 will be available in two versions: the GT and the GTS. The GT model will deliver 295 kW of power, while the more potent GTS will offer 345 kW. Both variants are equipped with three electric motors – one at the front and two at the rear – and a substantial 89 kWh battery. The battery utilizes nickel-manganese-cobalt (NMC) cathodes, with cells supplied by LG and Vercor, designed to maintain peak performance.

Charging capabilities for the A390 include DC fast charging up to 150 kW for the GT and 190 kW for the GTS. While these figures are not class-leading, they are adequate for daily use. The A390 is positioned as an electric car suitable for both daily commutes and spirited driving, though track use is recommended for optimal performance.

Pricing for the A390 starts at 69,000 euros for the GT model and 77,000 euros for the GTS. This launch marks a significant step in Alpine's transition to an all-electric future. The brand's beloved gasoline-powered A110 sports car is concluding its production run in June, with its electric successor slated for a reveal in Paris this fall. Alpine aims to offer seven models by 2030, signaling a bold commitment to electrification.
