Alpine's A390 lands with premium price tag
Alpine finally put price and order dates on its A390 sport fastback — and the sticker will make some buyers blink. The GT goes on order in France this November for €67,500 (about $79,000), while the hotter GTS starts at €78,000 (roughly $91,000) and will follow in early 2026. Alpine's marketing line — a 'racing car in a suit' — speaks to the model's sporty character and near-luxury ambitions.
What the A390 brings to the table
This is Alpine's third model after the ICE A110 and the A290, and it marks two firsts for the brand: an all-wheel-drive layout and a model that behaves like an SUV even if Alpine prefers the 'sport fastback' label. At 4,615 mm long, 1,885 mm wide and 1,532 mm tall, the A390 is compact but muscular, with proportions aimed at dynamic driving as well as usable interior space.
Mechanical highlights:
- Triple-motor EV setup (one front, two rear) on the GT and GTS.
- 89 kWh battery, WLTP-tested range up to 555 km (about 345 miles).
- DC fast-charging: 15–80% in under 25 minutes.
- GT output: 400 hp, 0–100 km/h in 4.8 seconds.
- GTS output: 470 hp, up to 824 Nm torque, 0–100 km/h in 3.9 seconds.
- Active torque vectoring to optimize grip and handling.
Those figures put the A390 squarely in the performance EV segment where driving dynamics and tech justify a premium price. Alpine adds 20‑inch diamond-cut alloys and Michelin Sport EV tyres on the GT, and 21‑inch forged wheels with Pilot Sport 4S rubber on the GTS.
Interior, tech and extras
Alpine dresses the cabin in Alcantara and Nappa leather, with an F1-inspired steering wheel and a premium Devialet sound system on the GT (13 speakers). The GTS upgrades to Devialet XtremeSound and massaging front seats in two-tone Nappa leather, plus the Driving pack that brings lane-centering and hands-free parking.
A dedicated Alpine app, arriving in December, will stream real-time telemetry — lap times, lateral g-forces, acceleration and braking data, torque distribution and temperature — appealing to buyers who plan to use the A390 on track days.
Ordering, delivery and market notes
- Premiere Pass holders in France can order the GT from November 4.
- General French orders for the GT open on November 18; GTS follows in early 2026.
- Dealers will have the A390 at the end of 2025, with deliveries expected in early 2026.
Alpine will offer six body colours and roof contrast options, plus extras like different wheel sets, upgraded seats and Alpine Expert telemetry. The brand hasn’t fixed a global launch timetable, but a staggered rollout across Europe and other markets is likely after the French launch.
"Costs like an Eastern European two-bedroom apartment" may sound cheeky, but it underlines a broader trend: performance EVs with premium materials and advanced tech are moving into price bands once occupied only by luxury ICE models. For buyers seeking Alpine driving DNA in an all-wheel, electrified package, the A390 offers a persuasive — if expensive — proposition.
