Alpine A290 - A Bold new chapter in Electric cars - Compare trim levels and features

Here at Ready2Lease, we live for vehicles that push the limits—and the Alpine A290 does exactly that. It’s not just an electric hatchback; it’s a performance-driven EV with serious motorsport DNA and day-to-day practicality.

Whether you're navigating tight city streets or cruising open roads, the A290 delivers a thrilling drive with zero-emission practicality. Backed by our tailored business lease plans, it's an ideal choice for professionals seeking a unique blend of style, agility, and tax efficiency.

Exterior: Sharp, Iconic, Purposeful

·       Motorsport-Inspired Design

You’ll instantly recognise the A290’s rally DNA. From its aggressive stance and contoured bodywork to front splitters and rear spoilers, everything shouts performance. The standout quad-cross LED lights are a nod to Alpine’s legendary rally cars, while full LED headlights, privacy glass, and black wheel centres all come as standard.

·       Alloy Wheels & Tyres

Each trim sits on exclusive 19″ alloys, wrapped in performance Michelin rubber:

• GT / GT Premium: 19″ Iconic Diamond-Cut wheels on Pilot Sport EV tyres
• GT Performance / GTS: 19″ Snowflake alloys on Pilot Sport 5S for sharper grip
• Colour-matched aero discs and satin finishes give it an unmistakably premium look.

Interior: Driver-Centric and Executive

·       Feel-at-One Cockpit

Inside, Alpine’s “Feel at One” concept comes to life. I immediately noticed the sporty, flat-bottom Nappa leather steering wheel with built-in drive modes, audio controls, and even an Overtake button for instant boost.

Depending on the trim, you get either a high-grade textile finish or full Nappa leather, complete with tricolour stitching and Alpine detailing throughout.

·       Immersive Tech Display

The tech is just as impressive. A 10.25″ digital driver display with four themes is paired with a crisp 10.1″ infotainment screen, running Google Built-in. You’ll also get wireless Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™, plus real-time navigation and app support.

·       Devialet® Sound System

GT Premium trims and above come with a Devialet® 9-speaker setup including a subwoofer. If you’re into audio, this transforms the A290 into a rolling soundstage.

Performance That Electrifies

·       Powertrain Options

There are two electric motor configurations:

1. GT / GT Premium: 180 HP (130 kW)
2. GT Performance / GTS: 220 HP (160 kW)

Both deliver instant torque—up to 300 Nm—and acceleration from 0–62 mph in just 6.4 seconds on higher trims. The A290 is quick, nimble, and seriously fun to drive.

·       Chassis & Handling

Thanks to its sport-tuned chassis, Brembo 4-piston front brakes, and multi-link rear suspension, this hot hatch balances comfort with razor-sharp responsiveness. Hydraulic bump stops also smooth out urban potholes and rougher terrain.

·       Regenerative Braking & Overtake Boost

You can control regen levels with the RCH selector to optimise battery use in stop-start conditions. And when you need extra punch, the steering wheel’s OV (Overtake) button gives you immediate access to full power for confident overtaking.

·       Range & Charging: Practical and Fast

Real-World Range

• City driving: Up to 507 km (315 miles)
• Combined WLTP: Up to 380 km (236 miles)

It’s ideal for both business commutes and weekend road trips.

·       Fast & Flexible Charging

Rapid charging at up to 100 kW gets you from 15% to 80% in just 30 minutes—perfect for busy professionals. Standard 11kW AC charging covers slower, overnight top-ups.

• Additional features include:
• Heat pump for greater energy efficiency
