Look at it! It’s delightfully cute and with Alpine’s know-how, it should handle like a dream.

Folks, the 1970s are back in full swing, only this time around we’re riding on the sweet, silent wave of electricity. Say hello, then, to the all-new Alpine A290, which is the French performance brand’s reinterpretation of the all-electric Renault 5. In the late 1970s, Alpine did its thing with the first-gen Renault 5, and now it had a go with the all-electric modern reinterpretation of the iconic city hatchback known as the Le Car in the United States.

19-inch wheels come as standard, as well as a 52-kilowatt-hour battery that can offer a maximum travel distance of around 236 miles on the WLTP cycle. Two power versions will be available, but whatever you choose, the A290 is purely a front-wheel drive machine. The GT and GT Premium trims come with a 130-kW motor, while the GT Performance and GTS get a beefier 160-kW drive unit. Alpine says the zero to 62 miles per hour sprint can be over in as little as 6.
