Leasing an Alpine A290 rather than buying one outright can offer a range of benefits. Firstly, leasing usually requires a much lower initial outlay than other methods, saving you money in the short term. The resulting monthly payments are fixed at the agreed rate for the entire duration of your agreement, meaning no nasty surprises. Vehicle depreciation is not your concern, simply hand back the car at the end of the contract, free to look for a new deal.
Drivers praise the Alpine A290 most for its surprising balance of fun, and engaging performance and comfort as a practical daily vehicle. It delivers a sporty yet composed ride, quick steering, and responsive acceleration. It's described as a "proper hot hatch" with a sophisticated chassis that feels both taut on performance roads and compliant over bumps, making it enjoyable in everyday situations.
