Alpine A290 POV drive – 220 hp – Better than a Renault 5 in every way?

Video Description

A few months ago I drove the Renault 5. Now it’s time to test its bolder, faster, more focused sibling. Meet the Alpine A290 GTS — a fully electric hot hatch that’s gunning for the future of driving fun. Missed my Renault 5 POV drive? Watch it here: https://youtu.be/fiSjWOEmYdo With 220 horsepower sent to the front wheels, the Alpine A290 GTS sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.4 seconds. It uses a 52 kWh battery, offering a WLTP range of around 380 km — though if you drive it like I did in this test, expect less. This is Alpine’s first-ever electric car, and with its wide stance and aggressive design, it looks every bit the electric hot hatch of the future. Step inside to discover the deep bucket seats, rally-inspired menus, and the playful sounds this bold French EV makes.
