Alpine A390 review

Quick and agile, sumptuous handling, stylish and individual, it's not an SUV Cramped rear cabin, ride needs a softer side, not that efficient Something new for Alpine. And more importantly, something new for Planet Car. It's a tall-ish five-door sports…

About Renault

Renault has spent more than a century putting France on wheels. Louis Renault and his brothers founded the company in 1899, its taxis ferried soldiers to the Marne in 1914, and after the Second World War the nationalized firm built the 4CV, the Renault 4 and the Renault 5, small cars with big personalities that defined everyday French motoring. The brand has always had a knack for inventive packaging, from the Espace, which helped create the European minivan, to the Twingo's one-box cabin, and for selling clever ideas at sensible prices.

The modern company was shaped by its alliance with Nissan, formed in 1999 and later joined by Mitsubishi, which made Carlos Ghosn the most powerful man in the business until his 2018 arrest in Japan. The alliance has since been loosened and rebalanced. Under the Renaulution turnaround plan, Renault narrowed its focus to profitable cars, spun its electric work into a unit called Ampere and leaned on nostalgia, reviving the Renault 5, Renault 4 and Twingo as electric cars that have won praise and awards. Luca de Meo, who led the comeback, left in 2025.

Today the group runs four brands, Renault, Dacia, Alpine and the Mobilize mobility label, and sells cars from Europe to Turkey, Morocco, India, South Korea and Latin America; it has not sold cars in the United States since the 1980s. Key models include the Clio, Captur, Austral, Scenic, Renault 5 and, in emerging markets, the Duster, Kiger and Triber. Coverage tracks launches and concepts, quarterly results, the fight against Chinese rivals, Formula 1 through Alpine, recalls and the strategy of a carmaker that has made retro design its secret weapon.

Inside Renault

Clio Europe's favorite French supermini since 1990, two-time European Car of the Year, home of the Clio V6 and Williams, now in a sharper sixth generation.
Renault 5 The 1972 supermini reborn as an electric hatch, European Car of the Year, with a 5 Turbo 3E supercar homage and an Alpine A290 sibling.
Megane Renault's family car since 1995, from the Scenic-spawning hatch and Nurburgring-chasing RS to the Megane E-Tech electric crossover of today.
Captur Renault's small SUV, a taller Clio with two-tone paint and a sliding rear seat, and one of Europe's best-selling crossovers since 2013.
Scenic The car that invented the compact minivan in 1996, reborn as the Scenic E-Tech electric crossover, European Car of the Year for 2024.
Duster The tough, affordable SUV that Dacia made famous, sold as a Renault in India and Latin America, now back in India with a new generation and hybrid power.
Twingo Renault's cheeky city car, from the frog-faced 1993 original to a rear-engined Smart cousin and the new electric Twingo E-Tech built to be affordable.
Triber and Kiger Renault's India-built budget pair: the Triber, a seven-seat MPV under four meters, and the Kiger compact SUV, both sharpened with turbo power and facelifts.
