Alpine, a Renault-owned company specializing in sports cars, finally released a new product message a year after the news that it would transform into a pure electric brand. Recently, Alpine released a silhouette photo on its official website, predicting that the brand's first SUV, which is also the brand's first pure electric vehicle, will be named "GT X-Over" and will be mass-produced in 2025.
According to Renault's "Renaulution" brand transformation plan announced in early 2021, it can be determined that Alpine expects three new models in the early stages of the transformation, namely a small urban electric vehicle with "for me", a crossover SUV for "for us", and a sports car "for the weekend". As far as the information is concerned, the first should be an electric version of the French steel gun Renault R5, followed by the GT X-Over of this trailer, and the last one may be an electric version of the classic A110.
Renault launched a new electric concept car " Renault 5 EV" in early 2021, set as the B-Segment's car, and pays tribute to Renault's classic Renault 5 in appearance and concept. The powered advanced version of R5 is expected to be launched under the name of Alpine.
Not only has Alpine transitioned to abandon the internal combustion engine, but it has also been rumored that it will further cooperate with the performance car brand Loutus to jointly develop the next generation of pure electric performance sports cars, most likely an electric version of the A110 (the car in the picture).
As far as the news is concerned, the GT X-Over will be the same as the Megane E-Tech Electric series unveiled by Renault at the 2021 IAA Munich Motor Show, based on the CMF-EV electric modular platform. As for the power part, it is possible to use the same single-drive motor layout as the Megane E-Tech Electric, with a maximum horsepower of 215 horses; however, there is also a saying that the original engineer will join the two-motor four-wheel drive system, but I am afraid that it will only be determined until the official announcement.
