The Alpine A290, developed alongside the Renault 5 E-Tech, claimed the top spot with 353 points, as voted by 60 automotive journalists from 23 countries. This recognition highlights the innovative design, cutting-edge technology, and driving pleasure synonymous with Alpine’s DNA.
Philippe Krief, CEO of Alpine, expressed his pride:
“The Alpine team is very proud today to win the Car of the Year award from the COTY jury, for its A290, the brand's first hot hatch. This award is all the more symbolic as the A290 inaugurates the 100% electric Dream Garage, a first step in the development of an Alpine-style electric sportiness. I would like to thank all the teams rewarded today for their passion and professionalism. But also the entire Alpine community of fans and customers, who are today writing a new page in the history of the French brand."
The A290 reinvents the beloved hot hatch category, combining performance and agility with modern electric innovation. Powered by an electric motor offering up to 220 bhp, the A290 delivers a thrilling driving experience while remaining practical for everyday use.
With a sharp design, advanced connectivity, and personalization options, the A290 is a beacon of Alpine’s ambition to deliver next-generation electric sportiness.
Manufactured at the Douai facility in France, part of Renault’s ElectriCity hub, the A290 reflects Alpine’s commitment to excellence and sustainability. This achievement marks the beginning of an exciting chapter, with the A390 sports fastback and a new A110 joining the Dream Garage lineup soon.
The Alpine A290 is more than a car—it’s a statement of what’s to come for Alpine and electric mobility.
