Alpine does not build many cars like the Alpine A390: a 5-door coupe SUV, built from 2026 in the decade the industry is turning electric.
The story
The Alpine A390 is a battery electric compact crossover SUV by French automobile manufacturer Alpine. First shown in concept form as the Alpine A390_β at the 2024 Paris Motor Show, the production model was unveiled on 27 May 2025, and Alpine will begin accepting orders on 21 November 2025 for deliveries in the first quarter of 2026. It is the second of seven "Dream Garage" fully-electric models which Alpine intends to release by 2030.
What is underneath
it is rated at 295 kW. Kerb weight is 2121 kg. Power-to-weight lands near 184 horsepower per tonne, which is quick by any era's standard, the kind of figure a hot hatch or a sports saloon posts. The gearbox is a 1-speed fixed gear. The layout matters: drive goes to all four wheels, which is what lets the power be used on a wet road. The wheelbase is 2708 mm. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.
Its place in the line
Where it sits in Alpine's history is not in doubt: it was built at Dieppe, France. On a showroom list of its day it stood against the AUDI E7X, the BYD Datang, the Jeep Recon. Nearby in the Alpine catalogue sit the Alpine A110 and the Alpine A110 (2017).
