Alpine A290 GT+

The A290 is Alpine's electric hot hatch, built on the Renault 5 platform but with a wider body, a bespoke aluminium front subframe and A110-derived hydraulic bump stops. GT+ is the entry-level specification, using the 177 bhp front-driven motor with a claimed 0-62mph time of 7.4 seconds.

This example is finished in white, the colour that nods to the original concept, and has covered just 10 miles. Equipment includes heated sports seats, a heat pump, wireless CarPlay and Android Auto, a rear camera, parking sensors and 19-inch alloys on Michelin Sport EV tyres. Brembo brakes and an overtake button on the steering wheel are part of the Alpine package.

The 52 kWh battery gives a WLTP range of 235 miles and accepts up to 100 kW DC charging. The page lists a 3-year/60,000-mile manufacturer warranty and an 8-year battery warranty.
