THEY SAY CHANGE is good for us, but that doesn’t make it any easier. In fact, it’s fair to say that many of us push back against change, making the job of cars like the new Alpine A290 even harder. You see, as a spiritual successor to the 1970s Renault 5 Alpine, the A290 promises to harness that car’s old-school hot hatch thrills and relative affordability. The twist is that it uses electric rather than petrol power.
