  3. 2026 Alpine A390: 470-HP Electric Fastback With 345-Mile Range

2026 Alpine A390: 470-HP Electric Fastback With 345-Mile Range

2026 Alpine A390: 470-HP Electric Fastback With 345-Mile Range

The Alpine A390 enters the compact electric fastback segment with a focus on performance, engineering precision, and brand identity. As Alpine’s first fully electric fastback, the A390 targets buyers considering the Porsche Macan EV, Tesla Model Y Performance, and Maserati Grecale Folgore. The tri-motor setup, 0–62 mph acceleration in under 4 seconds, and a targeted range of 345 miles put Alpine in direct competition with legacy and EV-native brands.

⚙️ Platform and Chassis Design

The A390 rides on the AmpR Medium platform, previously known as CMF-EV. It shares components with the Renault Mégane E-Tech and Nissan Ariya, but Alpine recalibrated it to handle tri-motor power and maintain rear-biased driving dynamics.

Engineering highlights:

  • Hydraulic bump stops improve shock absorption without sacrificing sharpness.
  • Weight distribution is 49:51 front-to-rear, optimizing cornering balance.
  • Suspension tuning features adaptive damping.
  • Michelin tire choices: Pilot Sport EV (summer), Pilot Sport 4S (performance), and CrossClimate 3 Sport (all-season).

Alpine made changes to body-in-white stiffness and suspension geometry to improve steering response and minimize understeer, especially in the GTS variant. The steering ratio is 14.6:1, quicker than most compact fastbacks.

⚡ Powertrain Breakdown

Dual Rear Motors, One Front Motor

Alpine equips both GT and GTS versions with three electric motors:

  • One motor on the front axle for front-wheel torque and regen.
  • Two rear motors for torque vectoring and enhanced handling.

Torque Vectoring and Drift Control

The A390’s rear motors allow active torque distribution across the rear axle. The GTS model features an Alpine Torque Profiler—an electronic controller that adjusts power delivery based on driving mode, tire load, and throttle input. In Track mode, the system enables controlled oversteer for experienced drivers.

🔋 Battery and Charging

Battery Tech

  • Total usable capacity: 89 kWh
  • Pack supplier: Envision AESC (same as Nissan Ariya)
  • Cell chemistry: NMC 811 for higher energy density

Range and Efficiency

ModeRange Estimate (WLTP)
Eco~345 miles
Normal~330 miles
Sport/Track~280–300 miles

Alpine aims for 20.6 kWh/100 miles efficiency, translating to strong real-world numbers in its segment.

Charging Capability

  • DC fast charging up to 190 kW (10–80% in ~25 minutes)
  • AC home charging at 22 kW (three-phase), or 11 kW in most markets
  • Thermal preconditioning available via route planning in the infotainment

🧠 Technology and Driver Experience

Infotainment

  • 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster
  • 13.2-inch center touchscreen, Android Automotive OS
  • Google apps built-in, real-time EV routing with Google Maps
  • Devialet 13-speaker audio system (850 watts) standard on GTS

Driver Assistance

  • Adaptive cruise control
  • Lane centering
  • 360-degree camera system
  • Remote park assist
  • OTA update support for all software systems

🪑 Interior and Practicality

Cabin Features

  • Seating for five; sport seats with Alcantara and leather on GT
  • Sabelt bucket seats on GTS (manual adjustment, reduced weight)
  • Ambient lighting, real aluminum trim, minimalistic control layout

Cargo and Usability

FeatureMeasurement
Cargo Capacity18.8 cu ft (behind 2nd row)
Frunk StorageNone
Rear Legroom37.4 inches
Headroom Front39.3 inches
Headroom Rear37.1 inches

The sloping fastback roof limits rear headroom slightly compared to boxier fastbacks like the BMW iX1, but Alpine prioritizes styling and aerodynamics.

📉 Competitive Analysis

The A390 slots between two electric performance tiers:

ModelHorsepower0–60 mphPrice (USD)
Porsche Macan EV (Base)402 hp4.9 sec~$80,450
Tesla Model Y Performance456 hp3.5 sec~$53,490
Maserati Grecale Folgore550 hp4.0 sec~$92,000
Alpine A390 GT395 hp4.8 sec~$70,000
Alpine A390 GTS470 hp3.9 sec~$82,000

Key advantages:

  • Tri-motor layout at a lower price than Porsche and Maserati
  • Hydraulic suspension tech uncommon in the segment
  • High-end audio system and real-time EV routing at no extra cost

Trade-offs:

  • No frunk
  • Limited U.S. brand recognition
  • No air suspension

📅 Production, Availability, and Future Outlook

  • Manufacturing Location: Alpine Dieppe Plant, France
  • Order Books Open: November 2025
  • Deliveries Start: Q2 2026 (Europe), potential North America entry in 2027
  • Annual Production Target: 60,000 units

Alpine confirmed the A390 is the first of three electric vehicles launching by 2027. An electric hot hatch (A290) and a GT coupe are in development. All models aim for 50% component commonality, reducing supply chain complexity.

✅ Conclusion

The Alpine A390 is a data-driven response to the performance electric fastback market. Backed by Renault Group’s industrial scale, Alpine injects real engineering differentiation into a segment crowded by lookalikes. Its tri-motor configuration, torque vectoring tech, and sharp chassis tuning make it a serious contender for buyers who value precision over branding.
