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.

According to the WLTP (Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure) standard, the vehicle’s range is 400 km (249 miles), with an energy consumption rate of 13.0 kWh/100 km (3 mi/kWh). 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 70 minutes, while a more typical scenario from 10% to 80% takes 30 minutes with an average charging speed of 74 kW. Considering an additional 5 minutes for each charging stop due to driving interruptions, the optimal charging range is from 5% to 57%. This results in an effective charging speed, including time lost, of 68 kW, with each charging session taking about 24 minutes and 59 seconds.

In a theoretical 1000 km challenge, starting with a full battery and maintaining a constant speed of 120 km/h (75 mph) under ideal conditions with an assumed consumption rate of 19.9 kWh/100 km, the trip would take approximately 10 hours and 31 minutes. This journey would require five charging stops from 4% to 61%, with a total charging time of 132 minutes.

Onboard Charger

The standard onboard charger supports up to 7.2 kW for Level 1 and Level 2 AC charging. This allows you to fully charge the battery from 0 to 100% in approximately 7 hours and 13 minutes using a home charging setup.

Charge Port

The location of the charge port is on the left front side. This location makes it easy to charge stations where you park side into the charger.
