Alpine is targeting a seven‑model, all‑electric lineup by 2030, built around a new Alpine Performance Platform (APP) for sports cars and SUVs, dual‑ and tri‑motor powertrains up to 500+ bhp, and at least two electric convertibles. By the end of the decade, the French brand wants to challenge Porsche with a family that runs from a Renault 5‑based hot hatch to A110 and A310 sports cars and larger GT SUVs for markets like the U.S. and China.
Lineup Roadmap to 2030
Alpine’s official “Dream Garage” plan starts with three EVs due by 2027: the A290 B‑segment hot hatch (derived from the Renault 5), a C‑segment GT crossover commonly dubbed GT X‑Over or A390, and an all‑electric successor to today’s A110 coupe. By 2030, the line will expand to seven pure EVs: A290, A390, A110 EV, a larger A310 2+2 GT, drop‑top A110 and A310 cabriolets, plus one or two D/E‑segment GT‑SUVs aimed squarely at Porsche Macan and Cayenne EV buyers. Alpine has also confirmed that an electric A110 successor (coupe and convertible) and at least one SUV will spearhead the brand’s long‑planned entry into the U.S. market.
Core EV Models and Early Specs
The A290 will be Alpine’s entry point: a front‑motor hot hatch using the Renault 5’s platform but with 180–224 hp, a 52 kWh battery and trick suspension (hydraulic bump stops, multi‑link rear) to mimic the current A110’s playful balance. The A110 successor and A310 GT use the new APP skateboard, which supports different lengths and widths, rear‑ and all‑wheel drive, and power levels from roughly 300 to well over 500 bhp, with Alpine targeting sub‑1,500 kg curb weights for its two‑seater. The GT X‑Over / A390 performance SUV will share CMF‑EV hardware with the Nissan Ariya but add extra motors and power; Alpine engineers have hinted at dual‑ or triple‑motor setups in the 400–500 bhp range, with 0–100 km/h times closer to 4 seconds than 5.
Indicative 2030 Alpine EV Range
| Model | Segment / Body | Platform | Powertrain (est.) | Target timing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A290 | B‑segment hot hatch | CMF‑BEV | FWD, 180–224 hp, 52 kWh, 0–100 km/h ~6.4 s. | By 2026 |
| A390 / GT X‑Over | C‑segment GT SUV | CMF‑EV | Dual/tri‑motor AWD, 400–500 bhp, 250–350 mi range. | By 2025–26 |
| A110 EV | 2‑seat sports coupe | APP | ~300–500+ bhp, RWD/AWD, up to ~600 km WLTP. | ~2027 |
| A310 | 2+2 fastback GT | APP | Above A110, likely AWD, Porsche 911 rival. | By 2030 |
| A110/A310 cabrios | 2‑seat & 2+2 convertibles | APP | Same outputs as coupes, optimised aero/software. | By 2030 |
| D/E‑segment GT‑SUVs | Larger performance EVs | APP | High‑output AWD to rival Macan/Cayenne EV. | Before 2030 |
Sports Cars: A110 and A310 EV Details
Alpine’s next‑gen A110 EV will be the brand’s halo driver’s car, using the APP platform to deliver a low seating position, mid‑engine‑like weight distribution and quick, precise steering, but with electric power. Reports suggest output starting around 300 bhp and topping 500+ bhp in higher trims, with a target WLTP range around 600 km for longer‑legged versions, thanks to efficient motors developed by Ampere’s Cléon plant. The bigger A310 fastback GT will share much of this hardware in a roomier 2+2 body, with more emphasis on comfort and grand‑touring while still chasing cars like the Porsche 911 EV in pace and engagement.
Two Electric Convertibles by 2030
Alpine has explicitly confirmed plans for two all‑electric convertibles by 2030: open‑air versions of the A110 EV and the A310 fastback GT. Both will sit on APP and use tailored aero, structural reinforcements and software tuning to preserve sharp handling and usable range with the roof down, with the A110 roadster focused on purist, lightweight driving and the A310 cabrio aimed at buyers wanting 2+2 practicality and GT comfort. These cars, together with at least one SUV, are expected to feature prominently in Alpine’s U.S. launch strategy.
Performance, Platforms and U.S. Market Push
All of Alpine’s new EVs will share hardware with the Renault–Nissan–Mitsubishi Alliance where it makes sense—CMF‑BEV and CMF‑EV for smaller models, APP for performance cars—while focusing Alpine‑specific budgets on software, chassis tuning and lighter components. Ampere’s new 7DL twin‑motor rear drive unit, built at the Cléon plant, is being readied to deliver high power and sophisticated torque vectoring for APP‑based cars, forming the backbone of their 500‑bhp‑plus variants. By combining this with aggressive weight targets, Alpine aims to offer EVs that feel more agile and playful than many heavier rivals, with a clear eye on Porsche as the benchmark across hot hatches, coupes and SUVs.
