Alpine's next generation is shaping up, with a confirmed production location for its new high performance EV SUV -
‘As I did with Cupra, I will find a point of contact between the Alpine brand and some Renault models,’ de Meo told’s sister title Auto Express. ‘We need to be credible on that, so I’m not going to do that with Kangoo or Espace – I’m going to do that with things that fit the positioning of the brand.’
De Meo will set up the Alpine brand as a new business unit headed by current Renault F1 team managing director Cyril Abiteboul. It will be built on three pillars, comprising the rebranded Alpine F1 team, Renault Sport’s engineering business in Dieppe and the Alpine brand itself. The incoming Alpine-branded models will utilise electrification in a similar fashion to Peugeot’s ‘Peugeot Sport Engineering’ products to create high performance derivatives of Renault models like the new Clio and Captur SUV. We also suspect a new high-performance Alpine crossover will be on the cards as part of the relaunch, sharing key platforms and tech with existing and upcoming Renault products.
