Renault Group has divided its structure to streamline its movements. The company that will have the most weight is the one focused on the development of its future electric vehicles. and in it Alpine will take a leading role and the reason is simple: it will be its premium banner. It already is today, but the A110's sales aren't great and its rivals are tough enough to beat with a snap of your fingers. Hence its renewed EV range.
One of the models that will receive the most attention will be the Alpine Crossover EV, which is under development.. And although many purists affirm that it is a heresy, the same was said of the Porsche Cayenne and there it is. Well, the engineers are still working on it, but As has happened with the R5, some technical data has already been leaked. The trail of rumors It is very broad, but there are some that are founded and you will surely like to know them. Eye…
The Alpine GT electric crossover will have all-wheel drive and will use the CMF-EV platform of the Nissan Ariya…
The first thing you have to know is that Alpine's new electric SUV will use a well-known platform. And it is none other than CMF EV that the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance have developed for their electric cars. In fact, it is already in use, as it is the the same on which the Nissan Ariya sits. However, between the Japanese model and that of the Dieppe house there will be a big difference: the set-up. That will be the letter of introduction of the Frenchman...
While the Ariya will be a comfortable SUV ready to pamper passengers, Alpine's will be more dynamic. and although mixing sportiness with an SUV body and the weight of the battery do not match, surely the tuning is more incisive. In fact, Robert Bonetto, one of the people in charge of the project, has told his colleagues from L'argus some details of the work they are carrying out. Apparently…
"A lot of work has been done on the ground connections and chassis, while the electric motor is specific and will provide a high level of performance. The goal is to recover the agility of the A110 thanks to the torque vectorization that will make it possible to erase the feeling of the masses and avoid artificial sensations»
If we analyze these words we can understand that the Alpine SUV It will have its own electric motor that no other Renault model will use. In addition, it will have all-wheel drive and a torque vectoring system to improve motor skills. For now the power of this electric train is unknown but not its battery well it seems that it will have about 90 kWh of capacity. It is more seems that it will be mounted in the gigafactory of Verkor (Dunkirk).
Finally, Bonetto has indicated that a single-axle drive version could come later. All in all, the DZ110 project could end up being called GT X-Over and have a starting price of around 70 euros, although a lot could still happen between now and its launch. We'll see…
