The A290 is based on one of Mat’s favourite electric cars to date, the Renault 5. However, it’s now been turned up to 11 with more power, more aggressive looks and even some changes to the interior… The question is, can a spicy EV hot hatch really be fun? Well before we find that out let’s take a closer look at what makes up the Alpine A290
At the front you have an aggressive grille with two rally inspired DRLs that look like Call of Duty hit markers. Moving around to the side you have wide arches as well as indentations in the rear doors to mimic the air vents you got in the original Renault 5 Turbo, further increasing the aggressive looks. At the back, you have a new rear diffuser and an enhanced rear spoiler.
Being an Alpine, of course it has to have more power than the lesser Renault 5. We now have 220hp and 300nm of torque. That power goes to the front wheels alone and it’s supposed to do 0-60 in just 6.4 seconds. But can it really do that when it weighs 1,479kg?
Moving to the inside, we retain the physical climate controls that were in the Renault 5 but there’s new stitching throughout the cabin, a new Alpine exclusive steering wheel and the drive select buttons have moved to the centre console.
Prices start from £30,245 for the GT model the rise up to £32,745 for the GT Performance and finally, for the car in this video (the GTS) you’ll be parting with £34,245. Is it worth it though? Stick with Mat to find out!
