Which Alpine should you lease?
Choose A290 for a compact electric hot hatch, A390 for a larger five-seat electric fastback, or A110 for a petrol two-seater. Passenger needs make the first cut; charging and the way you use the car make the next.
| Your requirement | Models to compare | What matters |
|---|---|---|
| Electric hatchback | A290 | A290 boot: 326 litres, or 300 with Devialet audio. A390 is longer with more luggage room. |
| Petrol two-seat sports car | A110 | Confirm actual allocation, specification and the two-person load. |
| Electric five-seat fastback | A390 | Check grade, wheels and the separate 22kW-labelled charging option. |
Alpine leasing at a glance
- A290 is 3,997 mm long.
- A290 has a 326-litre boot without Devialet audio, or 300 litres with it.
- A390 is 4,615 mm long, 618 mm longer than A290.
- A390 has 5 seats.
- A390’s 532-litre boot is 206 litres larger than A290’s non-Devialet boot.
A290 or A390: the parking and luggage trade-off is measurable
Choose A290 when you want electric performance in a genuinely compact five-door body. Alpine’s current UK dimensions are 3,997 mm long with 326 litres below the parcel shelf, or 300 litres with Devialet audio. That makes the sound-system option a small but real luggage-space decision.
Give A390 a look if the hot hatch is too tight for family trips: its 4,615 mm body is 618 mm longer and its 532-litre boot adds 206 litres over the standard-audio A290. Those are seats-up manufacturer measurements for the matching UK equipment; try your own load in the audio specification you choose.
| UK model and equipment | Length | Boot below parcel shelf |
|---|---|---|
| A290 without Devialet audio | 3,997mm | 326 litres |
| A290 with Devialet audio | 3,997mm | 300 litres |
| A390 | 4,615mm | 532 litres |
A110: a two-seat petrol sports car
Choose A110 for a two-seat petrol sports car, particularly when rear-passenger duty belongs to another vehicle. Its coupé layout offers a much more focused brief than either electric Alpine. Production of this second-generation A110 ended on 1 July 2026, so the practical route is an enquiry about a remaining identified car.
Plan the A110 around the journeys you want to enjoy in it, then include insurance, maintenance and tyre provision in the agreement comparison. Its petrol company-car assessment is separate from the electric treatment of A290 and A390.
A390: the charging option and wheels belong in the quotation
Choose A390 for five-seat electric performance with more luggage room than A290. Alpine specifies a three-motor, all-wheel-drive fastback; IVF lists 89 kWh-labelled GT, Premiere Edition and GTS cars, including entries with 22 kW AC charging equipment. The 532-litre rear boot makes it the more useful starting point for family bags.
Select the 22 kW AC option around a charger you can actually use, then compare GT and GTS equipment. The catalogue’s battery label and an optional AC rating do not set the range or session time: any such figure needs the supplied battery, motors, wheels and charging equipment.
Agree how the Alpine will be used and supported
Build servicing access into the choice if this will be your only car. The workshop supporting an A110 petrol coupé and the arrangements for a newer electric Alpine are practical parts of ownership, alongside the maintenance and assistance included in the lease.
Use IVF’s electric car leasing hub if A290 or A390 fits the energy brief but another passenger layout would work better.
What IVF adds to your Alpine shortlist
Bring IVF your passenger and luggage brief first. We can compare the A290’s audio-dependent boot space with A390’s larger body, or pursue a remaining A110 if the petrol two-seater is the point of the exercise; its ended production run makes supply the first job for that model.

Warranty, maintenance and the full lease term
Build the cover around the Alpine you are leasing. A110 needs its petrol-car warranty, while A290 and A390 need their own vehicle and high-voltage battery terms. Alpine also offers separate service plans and warranty extensions, which can be compared with optional lease maintenance.
For the proposed term and mileage, ask IVF to put the applicable start date, limits, exclusions and included cover alongside the workshop and assistance arrangements. Servicing, tyres, insurance and return condition remain separate responsibilities.
Alpine company-car tax: use the exact vehicle
These exact electric A290 and petrol A110 entries have different bodies and tax bases. They illustrate personal company-car tax, not equivalent-car savings or rental amounts.
Personal-tax illustrations: a full year, 40% income tax and no employee contributions or other adjustments, using IVF’s 10 September 2026 Alpine entries. Neither lease rentals, employer costs nor equivalent-car savings.
| Listed derivative | P11D | Tax basis | BiK | Tax at 40% |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A290 130kW GT+ 52kWh 5dr Auto | £33,930 | Zero-emission electric | 4% | £542.88 |
| A110 1.8L Turbo 2dr DCT | £55,345 | 153 g/km | 36% | £7,969.68 |
The published tax-year path for Alpine
The illustrated bands are Zero-emission electric: 4% in 2026/27; Petrol/hybrid, 150–154 g/km: 36% in 2026/27. Confirm P11D, certified CO2/range and transitional treatment with your accountant. Read the general company-car BiK rules. A290 and A390 are zero-emission electric cars; the petrol A110 follows an emissions-based assessment, not the electric row.
| Tax specification | 2026/27 | 2027/28 | 2028/29 | 2029/30 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Zero-emission electric | 4% | 5% | 7% | 9% |
| Petrol/hybrid, 150–154 g/km | 36% | 36% | 37% | 38% |
Alpine: road taxes across the agreement
ECS uses list price with options before discounts, not rental or assumed P11D equivalence; confirm registration and funder handling. VED rules; eVED proposal. Tax checked 10 September 2026.
| Cost and timing | Application to this shortlist | Rule to check |
|---|---|---|
| Vehicle Excise Duty (VED), 2026/27 | A290 and A390 electric; A110 petrol | Year one: £10 for zero-emission cars; petrol/hybrid rates follow registered CO2, without the former hybrid discount. Thereafter: £200 annually before supplements. |
| Expensive Car Supplement (ECS) | Include the quoted A390 wheel and equipment options. | £440 annually for five years from the second licence. Thresholds: more than £40,000 petrol/hybrid; more than £50,000 for qualifying zero-emission cars registered from 1 April 2025. |
| Planned eVED, April 2028 | Electric A290/A390, not the petrol A110. | Additional to VED: 3p per mile electric; 1.5p per mile plug-in hybrid. Not a current charge; final legislation and implementation remain relevant. |
Alpine business accounts
Ask your accountant about 50% rental-VAT recovery with private availability, depending on circumstances; the 15% hire-cost restriction above 50 g/km; and FRS 102 lease recognition for periods from 1 January 2026.
From Alpine shortlist to handover
- Settle whether your Alpine must be a five-door electric car or the two-door petrol A110.
- Compare initial and monthly rentals, term, mileage, optional maintenance, fees and early-termination conditions on the same basis.
- Ask about a remaining A110, or select the grade and charging options for A290 or A390.
- Agree return standards and charges for excess mileage, damage beyond fair wear and tear or missing equipment, with insurance and fuel or electricity budgeted separately.
Compare the body you intend to live with
Compare A290 with Abarth 600 if electric performance and everyday access are the priorities. Test the different cabin and luggage arrangements.
For a petrol two-person sports car, compare A110 with Mazda MX-5. Roof, body, transmission and supply differ, so keep the actual brief explicit.
Alpine leasing questions
Settle the practical details before choosing your car and contract.
Are all Alpine models electric?
No. The A290 and A390 entries are electric, while A110 is petrol. Their company-car tax and running patterns must be assessed separately.
Can I still factory-order an A110?
Production of the second-generation petrol A110 ended on 1 July 2026, according to Alpine. An IVF catalogue entry is not a new factory-order slot. Any remaining-car enquiry needs confirmed allocation, specification and timing. The future electric A110 is a separate generation and is not the petrol car described here.
Does A110 have rear seats?
A110 is a two-seat sports coupé. If regular rear passengers are required, compare the actual five-door A290 or A390 instead and check the cabin and luggage arrangement.
Does every A290 have identical equipment?
No. The catalogue includes several grades and specification names, including GT, GT+, performance and GTS entries. Confirm the supplied model year, motor, wheels and equipment in the quotation.
What does the A390 22kW label mean for my choice?
Some A390 entries explicitly include a 22kW-labelled AC charging option. Confirm the actual on-board specification and suitable supply. It is not a promised charging rate or session time at every charger.
Is track use included in an Alpine lease?
Do not assume it is permitted. Obtain written funder and insurer confirmation for any specialist use before committing. Performance branding does not override contract, insurance or warranty conditions.
Should I choose A290 or A390 for passengers and luggage?
Both are five-seat cars. Alpine’s UK figures give A290 a 326-litre boot, or 300 litres with Devialet audio; A390 has 532 litres below the parcel shelf. A390 is also 618mm longer, at 4,615mm versus 3,997mm. Match the supplied UK model and equipment, then check the parking space, rear passengers and actual bags. More boot volume does not remove the larger-body trade-off.
Is maintenance included in an Alpine lease?
Maintenance is optional: check that the quotation itemises servicing, tyres and exclusions for your chosen Alpine. Warranty cover for defects is separate from routine maintenance, insurance, energy and return charges.
What should I confirm before ordering?
A110 production has ended, so establish a remaining car; for A290 or A390, confirm the supplied grade and charging options. Compare the full hire commitment, including early termination and end-of-contract charges.
