In May 2023, Renault-owned Alpine previewed its return to the hot hatch segment by unveiling an electric concept car called the A290_β . Mostly futuristic but a little bit retro, the design study was closely related to the Renault 5 Prototype concept from 2021.
A single motor on the front axle delivers an instant 221 pound-feet of torque in all trims. That motor in the GT and GT Premium has been tuned for 177 horsepower, or for 215 hp in the GT Performance and GTS trims; however, as we see more and more nowadays, a driver needs to engage a special function to release every bit of power. In this case it's the Overtake button on the steering wheel, a countdown timer in the digital gauge cluster displaying how long is left in the 10-second spurt.
A 52-kWh battery powers an estimated range of 236 miles on Europe's WLTP cycle. A maximum fast-charge rate of just 100 kW restores the pack's charge from 15% to 80% in 30 minutes and can add roughly 90 miles of range in 15 minutes. Inside, a 10.25-inch digital gauge cluster sits next to a 10.1-inch infotainment touchscreen. Even the entry-level GT rides on swank 19-inch wheels wearing Michelin Pilot Sport EV tires, comes with LED headlights, adaptive cruise control, heated sport seats, a Nappa-leather-wrapped steering wheel, and front and rear parking assistance. The GT Premium and GT Performance split into luxury and sporty upgrades.
The A290 GTS Premiere Edition will get just 1,955 examples in honor of Alpine's birth year. They'll come in one of three themes: Beta, La Grise, and La Bleue. Alpine hasn't divulged a price in the home market yet, but local should expect a noticeable premium over the €30,000 Renault 5 sister hatch.
