The ALPINE A290 (2025-) 5DR HATCHBACK 0.0 ELECTRIC 52KWH 180 GT PREMIUM AUTO is a compact, five-door electric hatchback, bringing Alpine’s sporty identity to the UK’s growing small-EV market. It suits drivers wanting something more distinctive and engaging than an everyday city car, while retaining practical hatchback proportions. Mycarcheck.com has recorded six checks across five distinct VINs, so the sample is still small and cannot establish broad ownership or reliability trends. The average private-sale valuation in those checks was £28,200, while the recorded average keeper count was zero. As a recent model, its used-car picture is only beginning to emerge. The A290 suits urban commutes, couples and small households wanting an electric car with character. Five doors add everyday practicality, while its sporty Alpine identity sets it apart from mainstream small EVs such as the electric MINI Cooper.
