In May this year, Alpine \u2013 the French performance brand under Renault\u2019s umbrella \u2013 unveiled the A290_\u03b2 prototype as a hotter take on the upcoming revived Renault 5. At the time, it was announced that the production version of this concept would arrive at some point in 2024 and today, we can take the first look at what it is going to look like thanks to a batch of spy photos.<\/p>\n

What you see depicted in the gallery below is an A290 trial vehicle with a fully camouflaged body. However, it is easy to see the overall profile won\u2019t change much compared to the concept with the biggest change being the switch to a four-door body style versus the A290_\u03b2\u2019s two-door layout.<\/p>\n

We are happy to report some of the concept’s most extravagant design details are seemingly going to be kept for the production model. These include \u2013 first and foremost \u2013 the very unusual wheel design with a square cut in the center, though these will likely be smaller than the show car\u2019s 20-inch size. Also, the front fascia, while fully disguised for the time being, looks quite aggressive with a very ornamented bumper. The hood features some weird aerodynamic components, though we don\u2019t know whether they will stay there for the final production version or not.<\/p>\n

One thing the A290 will lose compared to the concept is the central driver\u2019s seat. As you can clearly see from this test prototype, the production model will have a traditional layout with the steering wheel on the left or right depending on the market. Don\u2019t let that big screen on the passenger side fool you, too \u2013 it\u2019s not part of the car\u2019s interior and is most likely used for different measurements by the test drivers.<\/p>\n

The electric hot hatch is expected to have two available electric powertrains with the most powerful one offering up to 270 horsepower. Both variants will be driven by the front wheels. We will know all the details when the A290 debuts next year. It will be followed by the GT-X Over crossover and the fully electric replacement for today\u2019s A110 sports car.<\/p>\n
