The ALPINE A290 (2025-) 5DR HATCHBACK 0.0 ELECTRIC 52KWH 220 GT PERFORMANCE+ AUTO is a compact, five-door electric hatchback with a sporty character, bringing Alpine’s performance-focused image to the UK’s growing small-EV market. It offers a more distinctive, driver-focused alternative to mainstream electric hatchbacks, while remaining practical enough for everyday use. With five doors and electric power, the A290 suits commuters and couples seeking an engaging daily car, as well as small households that value easy access and useful hatchback space. Its GT Performance+ trim is aimed at drivers wanting sharper style and a lively feel, rather than simply the lowest-cost way to travel. mycarcheck.com has recorded four checks across four VINs, so the sample is limited. It shows an average private-sale valuation of £29,000 and zero previous keepers; no mileage average is available. Against electric hot-hatch rivals, the Alpine stands out for its rare badge and sporty focus.
