Get ready to be blown away by the Alpine A390, a stunning all-electric SUV that’s redefining what performance looks like in the world of electric vehicles. Unveiled at the 2024 Paris Motor Show, this sleek fastback from the Renault Group’s sporty Alpine brand is a game-changer, blending jaw-dropping design, cutting-edge tech, and electrifying performance. Whether you’re a car enthusiast or just someone who loves a smooth, stylish ride, the A390 is about to steal your heart.
A Design That Turns Heads
The Alpine A390 isn’t your average SUV—it’s a “racing car in a suit,” as the brand calls it. Picture this: a low-slung, aerodynamic silhouette with a coupe-like roofline that screams sophistication. Its bold front grille, adorned with a mesmerizing “Cosmic Dust” light pattern, looks like a comet streaking through the night sky. This isn’t just a car; it’s a statement. Compared to bulkier EVs like the Ford Mustang Mach-E, the A390’s compact 4615mm length and 1532mm height give it a sporty edge that’s impossible to ignore.
Inside, the A390 feels like a luxury cockpit. Nappa leather Sabelt bucket seats (exclusive to the top-tier GTS trim) cradle you in comfort, while a 12.3-inch digital driver display and a 12.0-inch central touchscreen keep you connected and in control. The 13-speaker, 850-watt Devialet audio system? It’s like having a concert hall on wheels. Plus, with a 532-liter cargo area, this SUV is as practical as it is pretty, making it perfect for weekend getaways or daily commutes.
Power That Packs a Punch
Under the hood—well, under the floor—the A390 is a beast. Its tri-motor setup (one motor up front, two at the rear) delivers up to 470 horsepower in the GTS trim, rocketing from 0 to 62 mph in just 3.9 seconds. That’s sports car territory! The Active Torque Vectoring system ensures razor-sharp handling, making every twisty road feel like a racetrack. Built on the Renault Group’s AmpR Medium platform, shared with the Renault Megane E-Tech, the A390 has been fine-tuned to deliver a driving experience that’s as thrilling as it is smooth.
The 89.0-kWh battery pack offers an impressive 345 miles of range (WLTP cycle), so you can hit the road without range anxiety. Need a quick charge? The A390 supports DC fast-charging at up to 190kW, and its battery pre-conditioning and heat pump keep things efficient, even in chilly weather. Whether you’re cruising through the city or tearing up country roads, this SUV is ready for anything.
French Flair, Global Ambition
Proudly designed and built in France at Alpine’s historic Dieppe factory, the A390 is a love letter to French craftsmanship. From its Michelin Sport EV tires to its locally sourced electric motors and battery cells, this SUV oozes authenticity. Alpine’s calling it part of their “Dream Garage” lineup, following the A290 hot hatch and paving the way for an all-electric A110 sports car. With plans to hit markets like Australia by 2026 or 2027, the A390 is poised to take on heavyweights like the Porsche Macan EV.
Why You’ll Want One
The Alpine A390 isn’t just about speed or style—it’s about making every drive an experience. Whether you’re drawn to its futuristic design, its premium interior, or its heart-pounding performance, this electric SUV has something for everyone. Priced between £60,000 and £70,000 (based on early estimates), it’s a serious contender in the luxury EV market. If you’re ready to ditch boring commutes and embrace a ride that’s as exciting as it is eco-friendly, the A390 is calling your name.
