A390, Alpine’s first SUV, undergoing final tests

Alpine’s engineering teams are going through the last tests for the upcoming A390 before it makes its debut on 27^th May in France. The upcoming fastback electric SUV was taken to Michelin’s Ladoux complex where the car’s handling was demonstrated on the slippery road.

The 4.1km wet track, Alpine says, is “ideal for pushing the A390 to its limits.”
