Alpine teases three new electric vehicles, including a hot hatch
It was back in January when Renault announced its performance division Alpine would evolve into an electric brand, signaling the EV transformation with a teaser image depicting the front-end designs of three cars. They’re now back in fresh imagery, and this time around, we’re being given a sneak preview of their side profiles.
The new photos were shared by Renault today as part of the ElectroPop online event during which it also teased the electric 5 supermini and provided a first glimpse at the 4ever, an upcoming EV harkening back to the Renault 4. The French company remains coy on details about Alpine, but it does say the first electric car of the trio will be released in 2024.
So, what exactly are we looking at?
This is a teaser illustrating a larger coupe, perhaps a grand tourer with a 2+2 layout. Details about the third Alpine EV are shrouded in mystery, although it might ride on the new CMF-EV platform Renault is developing for C- and D-segment models with a WLTP range of 580 kilometers (360 miles). The underpinnings will deliver a multi-link rear suspension, a low center of gravity, and perfect weight distribution, thus making the platform suitable for a sports car application.
