Renault Group will be launching two electric vehicles (EVs) this year in the UK market, starting with the Alpine A390, an all-new electric fastback sports car.
The company said that the Alpine A390 features a one-of-a-kind three-motor architecture, one at the front to power the front axle and two at the rear. According to Renault Group, this is to enable all-wheel drive and opened the door to manage the two rear motors independently.
It is the first Alpine EV with more than 400hp under the bonnet and more than 800Nm of torque, which enables it to go from 0-100km/h in less than four seconds. It can also sprint 1,000 metres from a standing start in 22 seconds.
Prices start from £61,390, with ordering expected to open in early 2026, with first deliveries beginning in the Spring. Three versions will be available: The GT, the GTS and the Premier Edition.
As reported by Motor Trader, the A390 will have an 89kW high performance battery that will deliver up to 345 miles of range, and six body colours will be available to order, including Blanc Topaz, Noir Profond, Argent Mercure, Bleu Abysse, Bleu Alpine Vision, and Gris Tonnerre Matte.
There are also five driving modes that can be selected using a dedicated button on the steering wheel. These are Save, Normal, Sport, Personalised and a new Track mode. Depending on the driver’s choice for customisation, the steering, angle and speed, Renault said that Alpine Active Torque Vectoring distributes torque differently between the left and right wheels, emphasising agility, cornering dynamics or stability at high speeds.

Max joined The Eco Experts as content manager in February 2024 and became deputy editor in 2025. He has written about sustainability issues across numerous industries, including maritime, supply chain, finance, mining, and retail. He has also written extensively for consumer titles like City AM, The Morning Star, and The Daily Express.
In 2020, he covered in detail the International Maritime Organisation’s (IMO) legislation on sulphur emissions and its effects on the global container shipping market as online editor of Port Technology International.
He also explored the initiatives major container ports and terminals have launched in order to ship vital goods across the world without polluting the environment.
Since then, he has reported heavily on the impact made by environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices on the supply chain of minerals, with a particular focus on rare earth mining in Africa.
As part of this, in 2022 Max visited mines and ports in Angola to hone in on the challenges being faced by one of the world’s biggest producers of rare earth minerals.
His most recent sustainability-related work came much closer to home, as he investigated the eco-challenges faced by independent retailers in the UK, specifically looking at how they can cut emissions and continue to thrive.
Max lives in South London and is an avid reader of books on modern history and ghost stories. He has also recently learned to play the game Mahjong and takes every opportunity to do so. He is also yet to find a sport he doesn’t enjoy watching.
