Alpine Could Launch an EV Model Like This A390 Concept in America Renault Group's Alpine brand is not quite a household name in the US, but the automaker is betting that some of the brand's offerings could do well stateside. Alpine will test this theory later in the decade, having planned a 2027 launch in the US. Just what Alpine could offer EV buyers was previewed this month at the Paris auto show with a curious concept combining the body styles of a sedan, coupe, and SUV. And it is expected to use a version of the Nissan Ariya's platform, albeit with a much more powerful tri-motor setup. Of course, quite a few things will have to go right for Alpine between now and 2027. But its parent company is betting that Americans aren't tired of new brands with EVs in their lineups just yet. |
