The Alpine A290 is an electric hot hatchback based on the Renault 5. It has extra power – to the tune of a further 100 horsepower – sportier, rally-bred styling, revised suspension and an upgraded interior. Alpine even goes as far as to call it a sports car, not just an EV hot hatch.
Coming from the same French company that has a Formula One team and a 2025 Le Mans entry to its name, it's fair to say the A290 already has a reputation to upheld – and not least because of its highly-praised sibling, the A110.
