2025–2026 Alpine A290 GTS Specs & Performance

The 2025–2026 Alpine A290 GTS brings Alpine's lightweight, driver-focused philosophy into the electric hot-hatch segment. Its 52-kWh battery feeds a 160-kW electric motor producing 218 PS and 300 Nm, with power sent through a single-speed reduction drive to the front wheels. That is enough for a 0–100 km/h time of 6.4 seconds, giving the compact five-door genuine performance while retaining the practicality of a hatchback.

What distinguishes the GTS is the way Alpine has developed the chassis around that electric power. Brembo four-piston front calipers, a sport-oriented Alpine chassis and 19-inch Michelin performance tires give it a more purposeful character, while the compact dimensions and five-seat cabin keep it usable in everyday driving. With its combination of instant electric response, distinctive Alpine styling and carefully tuned handling, the GTS offers a different interpretation of the hot hatch: rather than simply maximizing power, it focuses on making a relatively compact electric car engaging and responsive. It is a significant model for Alpine as the brand expands its performance identity into the electric era.
