A290 boasts an Alpine sport-tuned chassis and benefits from multilink rear suspension and hydraulic bump stops. Performance finds a new home in the A290, with touches such as an F1-inspired steering wheel in the ‘Feel at one’ cockpit as well as an all-new overtake button, giving the car instant maximum power. Alpine Telemetrics also help to enhance the driver’s performance, as the A290 offers challenges based on the brand’s motorsport DNA.

A choice of colours are available from launch – Metallic Black, White Pearly, Alpine Blue and Matt Grey. GT Premium, GTS and GTS Première Édition trim levels provide the option for the two-tone paint options of Matte Shadow Grey, Alpine Vision Blue, and Artic White, all with a Diamond Black Roof.
