French performance marque Alpine is close to unveiling a concept previewing the first member of its future electric fleet.<\/p>\n

The concept is called the A290 Beta, and teaser shots released on Friday confirm it as a hatchback. The production version is due in 2024, and thought to be a tuned version of parent company Renault’s upcoming 5 hatchback<\/a> inspired by the original 5 of the 1970s, sold in the U.S. as the Le Car.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The A290 Beta concept will make its debut on May 9 at an event in the U.K. to be presented by Alpine CEO Laurent Rossi and design chief Antony Villain.<\/p>\n

The concept’s arrival will also mark the start of the next evolution in Alpine’s naming strategy, where the first digit of a three-digit numerical portion of a vehicle’s name signifies the vehicle’s size and positioning, while the remaining two digits signify the vehicle as either a sports model or a lifestyle model. Sports models will use a 10, like the current A110 sports car<\/a>, while lifestyle models like the upcoming hatch will use a 90, resulting in the A290 name for the production version.<\/p>\n

Alpine is known to be working on a compact crossover<\/a> and electric successor to the A110<\/a>, due around 2025 and 2026, respectively. The A110 successor will use a platform being developed by Lotus for a sports car that will likely end up as an Elise successor<\/a>. Alpine’s hatch and crossover will use platforms from the Renault Nissan Mitsubishi Alliance.<\/p>\n

Alpine has also hinted at two larger crossovers<\/a> likely sitting in the same segments as the Porsche Macan and Cayenne. These are expected to arrive from 2027 and use platforms from Zhejiang Geely<\/a>.<\/p>\n

These larger crossovers will be critical in expanding sales of Alpine<\/a> to the U.S. and China, though a launch in those two key markets hasn’t been confirmed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
