Alpine A290 GTS electric compact car review

The Alpine A290 GTS is a high-end, sporty electric compact car based on the technical platform of the Renault 5 E-Tech. This version features significant mechanical upgrades, including a lowered and widened chassis, a multi-link rear axle, hydraulic bump stops similar to the Mégane R.S., and an electronic locking differential.

Equipped with 220 hp and 300 Nm of torque, the A290 GTS can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.4 seconds, with a top speed of 170 km/h. The vehicle maintains a compact footprint of 3.99 meters in length and 2.02 meters in width, making it suitable for urban environments. The interior utilizes the Renault 5 cabin but incorporates premium materials, sport seats, and a vertical screen featuring the Google Automotive interface.
