A new electric milestone for Alpine

The Alpine A390 marks a significant shift in the brand’s philosophy. While the legendary A110 focused on minimal weight and simplicity, the A390 embraces a modern era of comfort, connectivity, and versatility, without compromising on its sporty DNA. Built on Renault’s AmpR Medium platform, the A390 houses a powerful 89 kWh battery. Depending on trim level and wheel size, it delivers an impressive electric range of up to 555 kilometers (WLTP). Its innovative powertrain includes three electric motors, one on the front axle and two at the rear, providing permanent all-wheel drive. The intelligent Alpine Active Torque Vectoring system distributes power precisely to each wheel, maximizing grip and control, especially during cornering or on slippery surfaces. In the high-performance GTS variant, the A390 rockets from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.9 seconds.

A design that blends heritage with innovation

The design of the Alpine A390 makes a bold visual statement. It stays true to Alpine’s roots while projecting a futuristic vision. Its short, muscular front, low, flowing roofline, and broad rear shoulders evoke the silhouette of a classic coupé, reimagined for the electric age.

Lighting that tells a story

The front features futuristic “Cosmic Dust” LED headlights, while the rear showcases an illuminated Alpine logo, blending retro charm with modern elegance Attention to detail defines the A390’s exterior. Flush door handles retract when not in use. Aerodynamic flaps optimize airflow, improving efficiency and performance. A hidden rear spoiler integrates seamlessly into the rear window—playful and purposeful in true Alpine style. The A390 rides on 20- or 21-inch alloy wheels, adorned with a unique snowflake pattern that subtly references Alpine’s heritage in the French Alps. Buyers can choose from six vibrant exterior colors, including the iconic Alpine Vision Blue and the understated matte Gris Tonnerre.

The standard seats offer heating, power adjustment, and massage functions, while the GTS trim features authentic Sabelt racing bucket seats for a performance-focused experience.

Smart charging and energy-ready for the future

Fast charging at up to 190 kW lets you recharge 65% of the battery in under 25 minutes, ideal for long-distance driving. A standard heat pump improves cold-weather efficiency, while V2L (Vehicle-to-Load) and V2G (Vehicle-to-Grid) capabilities prepare the A390 for tomorrow’s smart energy ecosystems.

It preserves Alpine’s performance spirit while adding the intelligence, comfort, and versatility required for everyday use. Launching in Q4, the A390 is set to inspire a new generation of drivers, proving that electric driving can be just as thrilling, stylish, and emotionally engaging as any high-performance machine of the past.
