Alpine refers to the A390_β as a Sport Fastback with a shape that’s a “monolithic bubble drawing its inspiration from a drop of water”. It also references the reborn brand’s brilliant 2018 two-seater sportscar – the Porsche-rivalling A110 – when it comes to driving dynamics, but with room for five people.

Sport fastback' electric crossover will go into production in 2025 as a competitor to the Porsche Macan electric and Tesla Model Y. It will have all-wheel drive with active torque vectoring.
