Selected as the Car of the Year in Europe in 2025, Alpine A290 is available for purchase with a starting price of 1,965,000 TL. Having taken to the roads in Türkiye with its GT and GTS versions, Alpine A290 is positioned as a significant model that brings the Alpine spirit from racetracks to city streets and introduces it to a wider populace.

Dr. Berk Çağdaş, General Manager of MAİS A.Ş., stated: “After Alpine A110, which made its name in the history of motor sports, we are pleased to introduce the fully electric Alpine A290 to Türkiye. A290 is designed for users who wish to feel the Alpine spirit on city streets. Many of its trim elements and design features, specifically intended to allude to motorsport, transform A290 into a dynamic and thrilling experience, enabling it to break the molds of a standard vehicle.”

Both Compact and Sporty

Developed on the AmpR Small platform, Alpine A290 exhibits a muscular hot-hatch appearance thanks to its body proportions, despite being a compact city car shorter than 4 meters. X-patterned headlights reminiscent of rally cars, wide fenders and rocker panels with body-colored edges that emphasize the fenders, aluminum rooflines, which are also available in matt blue, the standard color in certain versions, and numerous other subtle details give A290's exterior design a powerful expression. The front of the vehicle bears the Alpine inscription, and the special sporty bumper is adorned with a typical snowflake pattern. Additionally, aerodynamic factors that will maximize the electric range are meticulously integrated into A290.

Alpine A290 is available with four body colors, including the new Alpine Blue. It is also offered in Star Black, Pearl White, and Satin Mineral Grey.

An Interior Design Authentic to the Alpine World 

With five seaters and five doors, A290 has a boot capacity of 326 liters. The cockpit is given a dynamic look unique to the Alpine world with a Deep Blue color option.  Located on the left of the three-spoke Nappa leather-covered sports steering wheel, the RCH button that adjusts the regeneration level for charging, the various driving modes situated on the right of the steering wheel, and the red OV overtake button take A290 to a different dimension with features inspired by the F1 world.  In addition to control buttons for driving aids, telephone, voice assistant, and display mode, the steering wheel includes a dedicated voice control module.

The physical climate control buttons and the 10.1-inch Alpine Portal multimedia display are ergonomically positioned to allow drivers to use them without taking their eyes off the road.  Made from eco-friendly materials, the upholstery mirrors the commitment to sustainability. In the GTS version, the seats, dashboard, and door panels are covered with Deep Blue and Eevee Grey Nappa leather. Alpine relief is engraved on the leather headrests, while the A290 logo is placed in the middle of the backrest.

Performance & Efficiency 

Alpine A290 comes as standard with a 52-kWh battery, providing a WLTP range of up to 380 km.  With A290’s 100 kW DC fast-charging system, the battery can be charged from 15% to 80% in 30 minutes, providing a WLTP range of up to 150 km with 15 minutes of charging.  With the integrated 11 kW charger at the AC charging point, it is sufficient to charge the battery for 3 hours and 20 minutes to elevate the state of charge from 10% to 80%. The charger features bidirectional use, allowing V2L (vehicle-to-load) functionality.  

One of the best performance cars in its segment, Alpine A290 accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 6.4 seconds thanks to its up to 220 HP, 300 Nm of torque, and a weight of 1,479 kg. It provides ease of daily use with a 10.2-meter turning circle.

Alpine A290's engine offers two power levels: 180 HP in the GT version and 220 HP in the GTS version. The gradual throttle response is adjusted to allow the A290 to transform into an easy-to-control sports car despite the electric engine's high power and torque levels.  "The Alpine Torque Technology", an advanced torque management system, has been developed to maximize traction.  

Since it is an electric car without a natural engine sound, Alpine teams created two "Alpine Driving Sounds" at varying frequencies and intensities for A290. Alternative Sound, as the first sound, offers a light and sporty tone ideal for daily use.  Alpine Sound, the second sound, helps to structure the driving stages with a distinctive sporty sound pattern suitable for A290.  The sounds are emitted through the Devialet sound system, specially designed for A290.

A290's up to 26 driving assistance systems (ADAS) include automatic emergency braking in reverse gear, emergency lane correction, safe passenger exit, and driver attention monitoring.
