Who is Alpine?
Alpine is a French sports-car maker within Renault Group. Founded by Jean Rédélé, it built its identity around competition and cars that put agility and lightness first. The A110 became the name most closely associated with that approach, and its modern revival brought Alpine back into view as a maker of focused road cars.
That sporting character still shapes the range, but Alpine now spans different kinds of car. The A110 is a compact sports coupé for drivers drawn to a low, two-seat layout and an involving drive. The A290 brings the badge to a small electric hatchback, while the A390 is a sport fastback with a broader, more practical shape. Together, they show how Alpine is extending its identity beyond the traditional two-seat coupé.
How has the Alpine range developed?
The A110 has the longest-running place in the years covered here, from 2017 to 2026. It remains the central Alpine model in the EU figures, with 30,772 registrations between 2017 and 2025. Its compact sports-car format gives the range a clear link to Alpine’s established image, even as the newer models broaden the choice of body styles and powertrains.
The A290 arrived in the figures for 2024 and continues through 2026. Its 6,361 EU registrations in 2024–2025 mark the arrival of Alpine’s electric hatchback alongside the A110. The A390 appears from 2025 through 2026; its 90 EU registrations in 2025 reflect its recent arrival in the figures. Rather than replacing the coupé, these newer lines give Alpine a small hatchback and a fastback as well.
Which Alpine models are electric?
Electrification is visible in the newer part of the range: the A290 is an electric hatchback, and the A390 is an electric sport fastback. They bring Alpine’s sporting identity into formats suited to a wider range of everyday journeys. The A110, meanwhile, remains the name associated with the compact coupé in the years listed here.
Official consumption and emissions figures depend on the model and market, so a direct comparison needs care. European figures may use WLTP or NEDC procedures, the USA uses EPA testing, and Canada uses a 5-cycle procedure. Those results are not directly interchangeable.
Where are Alpine cars listed?
Alpine appears in official EU registration figures, UK VCA figures and French ADEME figures. The A110 is the most established model in the EU registrations shown, while the A290 and A390 enter those figures later. The UK and French sources offer additional market perspectives, with their own official reporting and test contexts.
This combination makes Alpine’s changing range easier to follow: a familiar sports coupé remains alongside an electric hatchback and an electric fastback. The models share a sporting identity, but their shapes and powertrains point to different uses, from a focused drive to more regular everyday travel.
