The long-awaited rival to Renault's affordable Tesla crossover has hit the road

Renault's long-awaited rival to Tesla's Model Y will soon make its premiere. The inexpensive American electric car, which is struggling with falling sales, will have a powerful competitor. The new Alpine A390 model was shown on the road.

The car is shown by CarSpyMedia. The electric crossover was spotted during road tests before the premiere, which is expected to take place on May 27. Earlier, the Renault Alpine A390_β concept heralded a production model.

The manufacturer is trying to maintain maximum secrecy and intrigue. However, it is known that the design of the concept will remain almost unchanged.

The Alpine A390 electric crossover for the 2026 model year will offer several modifications. It is expected that the top-end version of the car will have all-wheel drive and 600 hp.

Today Alpine is responsible for Renault sports models under a separate brand. The company decided to take the vector for electrification. And, as we can see, crossovers are also indispensable – such cars are more popular than others today.
