On display at the Brussels motor show this week, the electric Alpine A390 range will arrive in the UK this Spring with three trim levels to choose from.
Rivalling the likes of the Ford Mustang Mach-E, Skoda Enyaq vRS and Porsche Macan Electric, the sporty and sleek family car – which Alpine refers to as an ‘electric sport fastback’ – is powered by an 89kWh battery and is all-wheel drive as standard.
The lead-in ‘GT’ and limited-run ‘Premiere Edition’ are powered by electric motors with the combined output of 400hp, completing a 0-62mph sprint in 4.8 seconds. These models have an official battery range of 345 miles, and top speed is capped at 124mph.
The top-spec ‘GTS’ trim grade comes with a more powerful 470hp set of electric motors, which cuts the car’s 0-62mph sprint time to 3.9 seconds and battery range to 319 miles. This range-topper also has a higher top speed of 136mph.
All trims are compatible with rapid DC charging up to 190kW, with a 15% to 80% battery top-up taking around 25 minutes. The car also comes with a feature the brand calls AATV, or ‘Alpine Active Torque Vectoring’, which distributes torque between the rear wheels in real time to ‘enhance’ traction, handling, and stability.
While Alpine hasn’t finalised its UK price list just yet, but the SUV is now on sale in Europe with pricing that begins at €67.5k (£59k).
