1. Body Style and Size Segment

The A390 is a five-door Sport Fastback in the C-segment. It is the largest Alpine ever produced, with dimensions of: Length: 4,615 mm, Width: 1,885 mm, Height: 1,532 mm.

2. Platform Architecture, Voltage, Range & Efficiency

It utilizes a heavily modified AmpR Medium platform with a 400-volt architecture. The 89 kWh battery offers a WLTP range of up to 555 km (345 miles). Charging supports DC fast charging up to 190 kW, achieving 15-80% in about 25 minutes.

3. Technical Capabilities

The A390 features a tri-motor, all-wheel-drive setup (up to 470 hp in GTS) and patented Alpine Active Torque Vectoring for dynamic handling. Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) include driver attention monitoring, extended automatic emergency braking, and a unique ‘Overtake’ button for temporary power boosts.

4. Quality of the Interior, Storage Capacity (Front & Rear)

The cabin is driver-focused, featuring premium materials like Alcantara and Nappa leather. It offers a generous 532-liter rear boot capacity, expandable with optional double floor, but no front trunk (frunk) is mentioned in available information.

5. App Functionality

The central digital interface runs on Android Automotive OS with integrated Google services. The dedicated mobile app, available from late 2025, will include Alpine Telemetrics Expert, acting as a personal coach with real-time driving data monitoring (e.g., lap times, G-forces) and performance challenges.

6. 3 Pros and 3 Cons

Pros: Alpine Active Torque Vectoring for superior agility; excellent performance (0-100 km/h in 3.9s for GTS); spacious 532L boot capacity.

Cons: 400V architecture vs. rivals’ 800V; poor rear visibility due to small back window; high estimated starting price (€67,500).

7. Overall Summary

The Alpine A390 directly challenges premium electric performance crossovers such as the Porsche Macan EV and Tesla Model Y Performance. While it may trail the Macan’s 800V charging speed and the Tesla’s sheer acceleration value, the A390 differentiates itself with its unique tri-motor Alpine Active Torque Vectoring system and a clear focus on the dynamic, driver-centric handling characteristic of the French brand’s sporting heritage.
