Alpine Returns to Australia: A390 Electric Sport Fastback Confirmed, GTS Hits 100km/h in 3.9 Seconds
Renault's performance brand Alpine is coming back to Australia with the A390, a tri-motor all-wheel-drive electric sport fastback. The GT makes 294kW for a 4.8-second 0-100km/h, the GTS 350kW and 824Nm for 3.9 seconds and a 220km/h top speed. An 89kWh battery gives a 555km WLTP range, with up to 150kW (GT) or 190kW (GTS) DC fast charging. Alpine is taking expressions of interest; Australian pricing, timing and full specs are still to be announced. The A110 sports car and A290 hot hatch are not confirmed for Australia. ANCAP not yet rated.
2027 Kia EV3 GT-Line AWD Priced for Australia: Dual-Motor Flagship Lands at $66,490, 559km WLTP and 6.6-Second 0-100
Kia Australia locks in a new AWD flagship on the EV3 small electric SUV. GT-Line AWD Long Range $66,490 before on-roads, $2,540 above the FWD GT-Line. Second motor at the rear pushes combined system output to 195kW/385Nm and cuts the 0 to 100km/h claim from 7.9 to 6.6 seconds. Same 81.4kWh Long Range battery as the rest of the line, WLTP range 559km, only 4km behind the FWD car. Upsized front and rear brakes plus a bespoke local suspension and steering tune sit on top of the standard Australian ride and handling program. Standard kit unchanged from the FWD GT-Line: 19-inch alloys, sunroof, synthetic leather trim, 10-way power driver's seat with memory, heated and ventilated front seats, heated wheel, dual-zone climate, dual 12.3-inch displays plus a 5-inch climate strip, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Harman Kardon audio and satellite navigation. 5-star ANCAP under the 2023 to 2025 protocol carries across from the FWD variants. Sits inside the fuel-efficient LCT threshold so the FBT novated-lease exemption still applies. 7-year unlimited-km vehicle warranty and 7-year/150,000km battery cover. First customer deliveries and dealer arrivals from September 2026.
