We've organized this article into specific sections for easier navigation. Click the links below to jump to different areas or read on for the full article. Additionally, we offer an overview of the full specifications, an image gallery, detailed information about charging performance, and some online reviews. Our sections include:

Performance

The Alpine A290 GT offers modest performance with a maximum power of 130 kW (177 hp / 174 bhp) and a total torque of 285 Nm (210 lb-ft). It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in 7.4 seconds and has a top speed of 160 km/h (99 mph), aligning more closely with traditional internal combustion engine vehicles.

Battery, Range, and Charging

The high-capacity battery has a gross capacity of 55.0 kWh and a net usable capacity of 52.0 kWh, providing a 3.0 kWh buffer (5.5%) for battery protection. With a nominal voltage of 352 volts, the system is classified as a 400-volt battery system, aligning with industry standards.

This Lithium-Ion battery utilizes NMC (Nickel Manganese Cobalt) technology.

Under the WLTP (Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure) standard, the vehicle's range varies between 380 to 377 km (236-234 miles), depending on the specific configuration and options, such as wheel size. Larger wheels can increase energy consumption and subsequently reduce the overall range.

The vehicle's energy consumption is rated at 13.7 kWh/100 km for the base model and 13.8 kWh/100 km for the top-tier model under the WLTP test cycle.

For more details about the range, see real-world data and range listings on this model’s range and consumption page.

The vehicle supports fast DC charging with a maximum power of 100 kW. Charging from 0% to 100% takes approximately 64 minutes, while a typical 10% to 80% charge takes about 32 minutes with an average charging speed of 69 kW.

Considering an additional 5 minutes for each charging stop due to driving interruptions, the optimal charging range is from 0% to 53%. This results in an effective charging speed, including time lost, of 67 kW, with each charging session taking about 25 minutes and 33 seconds.

In a 1000 km challenge at a constant speed of 120 km/h (75 mph) with an assumed consumption rate of 19.9 kWh/100 km, the trip would take about 10 hours and 32 minutes, needing five charging stops from 0% to 57%, totaling 132 minutes of charging time.

Onboard Charger

The standard onboard charger supports up to 7.2 kW for Level 1 and Level 2 AC charging, allowing a full 0–100% charge in about 7 hours and 13 minutes with a standard home setup.
