Alpine A390 debuted a 469-hp, three-engine competitor to the Porsche Macan Electric
French carmaker Alpine, part of the Renault Group, has unveiled the A390, an all-electric fastback crossover based on last year's A390 Beta concept. Sales of the model will start in the fourth quarter of 2025.
Here's What We Know
The car is 4.62 metres long and has a wheelbase of 2.71 metres. From the outside, it almost completely repeats the A390_β concept. The design highlights narrow daytime running lights, triangular decorative elements on the front and rear parts of the body, some of which are illuminated, as well as neatly integrated into the air intakes headlights. The A390 is built on the AmpR Medium platform, which is also used in other Renault and Nissan models. The boot volume is 532 litres.
Future A390 buyers will be able to choose between two versions with a three-motor all-wheel drive system. At the front there is a synchronous electric motor with an excitation winding (ESM), at the rear - two synchronous motors with permanent magnets (PMSM), which provide active distribution of traction (Torque Vectoring).
The GT version develops 295 kW (401 hp) and accelerates to 100 km/h in 4.8 seconds. The top speed is 200 km/h. The more powerful GTS version produces 345 kW (469 hp), accelerates to 100 km/h in 3.9 seconds and reaches a top speed of 220 km/h. Both versions support five driving modes, have a short-term power boost for overtaking (Overtake) and Launch Control.
The 89 kWh NMC battery is made up of cells from the French company Verkor. The WLTP range is up to 555 kilometres with 20-inch wheels and up to 520 kilometres with 21-inch wheels. DC fast charging with up to 190 kW is supported - you can charge from 15 to 80 per cent in less than 25 minutes. Standard AC charging is 11kW, with optional AC charging up to 22kW. Support for two-way charging (V2G) is also provided.
The interior includes a 12.3-inch digital dashboard and a 12-inch touchscreen multimedia system powered by Android Automotive. Alpine will offer six body colour options and a choice between 20-inch and 21-inch wheels.
