Stylish city car | The New Alpine A290 2025

Alpine won't be coming to the United States until 2026. In the meantime, Europeans are in for a treat. The new A290 competes in a rarified segment of electric hot hatchbacks, joining the likes of the Abarth 500e, Volkswagen ID.3 GTX, Cupra Born VZ, and the lesser-known MG4 XPower. Essentially a high-performance version of the reborn Renault 5, Alpine's first EV aims to make electric cars more fun to drive.

The new Renault 5 already looks great but the Alpine version adds a bit of aggression to the stylish city car. It features the French brand's signature quad light theme with an "X" motif, reminiscent of old rally cars. Historically, tape was used to protect the lights in case of an accident. It helped keep the shattered glass pieces together, preventing them from scattering on the road.

Compared to the resurrected R5, the more athletic derivative is nearly two inches wider and has larger 19-inch wheels as standard. This is still a diminutive EV, at just 157.0 inches long, 71.6 inches wide, and 59.8 inches tall. It’s slightly longer and lower than the donor car while having a 2.3-inch wider track. For an electric car, it’s relatively lightweight, tipping the scales at 3,260 pounds.
