Why should you consider the Alpine A290?
The Alpine A290 is a small, sporty electric hatchback that amps up the Renault 5’s playful attitude with aggressive styling and retro flair. Compact and low-slung, it stands out with bold bumpers, flared arches, and distinctive crosshair LED headlights, offering a genuine sporty look without the bulk of mini SUVs.
Inside, the driver-focused cockpit features semi-bucket seats with retro stitching, a flat-bottom steering wheel, and easy-to-use physical controls alongside Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Rear space is tight, typical for a small hatch, while the 326-litre boot strikes a decent balance between alternatives.
Performance is the A290’s highlight, with two motor options delivering 180hp or 220hp, and 0-60mph times of 7.4 and 6.4 seconds respectively. Its 52kWh battery offers up to 234 miles of range and charges from 15-80% in 30 minutes on a 100kW rapid charger, making it a compelling electric hot hatch option.
Lease a Alpine A290 from £315 per month*
You can lease an Alpine A290 GT from £315 per month (initial payment: £3,177.51) on a 48-month, 8,000-mile-per-year deal. It offers up to 224 miles of range, a 10.1-inch multimedia display and USB-C connectivity as well as Apple CarPlay/Android Auto as standard.
If you prefer to buy an Alpine A290, you can save £2,500, at the time of writing, on its GT model. This version also comes with LED lighting on the outside, a rear privacy glass, and heated front seats.
Alpine A290 alternatives
Still not convinced? Here are some other options for you to consider:
- Renault 5 E-Tech: Fantastic styling inside and out but rear legroom is particularly limited.
- Abarth 500e: Appropriately shouty looks but has poor electric range.
- Mini Cooper Electric: Loads of character but quite uncomfortable on a bumpy road.
