If you're tired of the electric SUV sea of sameness and want something with real soul, the Alpine A390 might just be your electric escape route. Stylish, fast, family-friendly, and packed with cutting-edge tech, this sleek fastback is shaking up the EV game and it's coming for the Polestar 4, Porsche Macan, and even the mighty Mercedes EQE.

A Racing Car in a Suit
The A390 is Alpine's second fully electric model, but this one's different, it’s not a rebadged Renault. This is an all-new, ground-up design, engineered by the French performance brand to be, in their own words, “a racing car in a suit.”
That’s more than just slick marketing. It’s a five-seat grand tourer that blends sharp driving dynamics with practical, everyday usability. Think power and poise, but with room for the weekly shop and the school run.
Performance That Puts a Smirk on Your Face
There are two versions to choose from:
GT with 397bhp and 0–62mph in 4.8 seconds
GTS with a bonkers 466bhp and 0–62mph in just 3.9 seconds
Alpine’s clever Active Torque Vectoring system and tri-motor all-wheel drive give the A390 a rear-biased, dynamic feel when you want to play, and the confident grip of four-wheel drive when you need it. That means you're not just driving, you're carving through the commute.

Refined, Inside and Out
At just over 4.6m long, the A390 is more compact than rivals, but it still packs a punch in the practicality department with a spacious 518-litre boot. There’s no frunk, but underfloor storage keeps your cables tidy.
Step inside and you're greeted by a futuristic, yet driver-focused cockpit. Blue accents, optional vegan materials, physical climate controls (hooray!), and a Google-powered infotainment system all add to the premium feel. There’s even the option to tweak your seating height depending on whether you want that low-slung sports car vibe or a more elevated SUV-like perspective.
Real-World Range, Real Clever Tech
With a new 89kWh battery, the A390 offers:
Up to 345 miles WLTP range (GT)
329 miles WLTP range (GTS)
Bi-directional charging for powering tools, tech, or even your home
Rapid 190kW charging, 10–80% in under 25 minutes
Pre-conditioning for optimal fast-charging speeds
This isn’t just an electric car, it’s an energy hub on wheels.

How Much?
Expect the GT to start around £60,000 and the GTS closer to £70,000. That’s not small change, but for the performance, tech, and brand heritage, it’s actually competitive, especially when you consider the next bit…
Drive the Alpine A390 for Less With Salary Sacrifice
Here’s the exciting part, you could drive the new Alpine A390 for significantly less each month through salary sacrifice car leasing. Salary sacrifice lets you lease a brand-new electric car using your pre-tax salary.
That means:
No deposit
No benefit-in-kind tax surprises (EVs have ultra-low BiK)
Tax and National Insurance savings
Maintenance, insurance and servicing are often included
Put simply, it’s the smartest way to go electric, and it makes cars like the Alpine A390 surprisingly affordable.

Ready to Feel Something Again Behind the Wheel?
If you're looking for a car that thrills your inner driver, pampers your passengers, and supports your sustainable lifestyle, the Alpine A390 is ready to take pole position. And thanks to salary sacrifice, it could cost far less than you think.
