Real-world consumption of the Alpine A290
Alpine A290,
for real.
What the Alpine A290s tracked by Sparks really drive and use. Same rules as for the whole fleet: at least five cars behind every number.

When a month isn’t published for a model, we don’t say why: the reason would say too much about a small group of cars.

How to read these numbers.
- Distance covers trips tracked by Sparks, not the cars’ total mileage.
- Consumption is an estimate: Renault doesn’t send it, Sparks works it out from the battery level on trips long enough to be reliable.
- The model is the one Renault declares for each car: if Renault gets it wrong, the figure follows.
- 179 of 236 cars broken down by model: the other tracked cars count in the fleet, not in a model.
- WLTP is measured in a lab to a standard: it isn’t meant to describe a real trip, hence the gap.
- Real-world range follows directly from this efficiency: the fewer miles per kWh, the shorter the range.
