Alpine to split future EV range into lifestyle and sporting lines

ALPINE WILL OFFER performance a distinct line of models in addition to a range of more lifestyle-focused cars as it fleshes out its future electric line-up.

The car maker is currently preparing a three-model 'dream garage' line-up for its transition to becoming the Renault Group's premium electric brand, and those cars will be used to establish two clear-cut product lines.

The inbound electric hot hatch - based on the Renault 5- and the GT X-Over crossover will form part of the lifestyle branch, while the next-generation, electric A110 will spearhead the firm's future sporting line-up.

Speaking exclusively to Autocar, Alpine CEO Laurent Rossi outlined his vision, citing that even for a sporting manufacturer, models in alternative segments would need to be offered to fortify the brand's future.
