Alpine A390 GT or Porsche Macan 4 Electric?
Two all-wheel-drive electric cars, with different approaches to performance. Compare the exact versions, then choose around the journeys you enjoy.
At a glance
Choose A390 GT if Alpine’s three-motor drivetrain and sport-fastback character appeal. Put Macan 4 Electric alongside it if you want a Porsche SUV alternative. Compare configured cars, rather than mixing range-topping figures from their wider line-ups.
Start with the right two cars
The A390 GT and Macan 4 Electric make a more useful comparison than simply putting the Alpine and Porsche badges beside one another. Both provide all-wheel drive, but Alpine achieves it with three electric motors and Alpine Active Torque Vectoring. That drivetrain is included on GT; choosing the flagship GTS is not necessary to obtain it.
Porsche’s current UK page identifies the Macan 4 Electric as a 2027 model. Its headline 300 kW/408 PS is overboost output with Launch Control. Alpine lists 400 hp/295 kW for A390 GT. Those labels describe different measures, so treating them as a simple eight-horsepower contest would miss the point.
Performance: compare the experience as well as the time
Alpine publishes 4.8 seconds for 0–62 mph; Porsche quotes 5.2 seconds with Launch Control for Macan 4 Electric. These are manufacturer figures, rather than results from a Grange comparison test. They establish that both are brisk; they cannot tell you which driving position, steering response or ride you will prefer.
During a viewing, settle into the seat before concentrating on the screens. Notice your sightline through junctions, the ease of reaching the main controls and how comfortably your passenger sits. On an arranged drive, use roads representative of your own week and assess the car at ordinary speeds.
Range belongs to the configuration
At the time of checking, Alpine’s selected UK A390 GT configuration displayed 341 miles of combined-cycle electric range. Porsche’s Macan 4 Electric page listed a combined WLTP range of 327–379 miles across its configurations. A selected-car figure and a model-range maximum are not an equal comparison.
Ask for the published range attached to each final wheel and equipment specification. Then plan your longest regular journey around practical charging stops, rather than using the laboratory figure as a promise. Temperature, speed, load and heating use all affect the distance available.
Build a price comparison you can actually use
The meaningful comparison is a pair of written quotations with the equipment you want. Include paint, wheels, seats, assistance options, delivery charges and the charging equipment you need. Keep an on-the-road price separate from a manufacturer starting price that is labelled only as including VAT.
Treat cabin and luggage needs in the same way. Try your passenger arrangement and everyday bags in each car. Check the charging-port position against your parking space and where the cable will run. Those details can settle a decision that looks close on a specification sheet.
Explore the Alpine with Grange
Begin with A390 GT, then ask our Alpine team to explain what a different trim would add to your chosen specification. Request confirmation of the available car, its equipment and the opportunity for a viewing or drive. A considered choice starts with the car you would buy and the journeys you would make.
Your questions, answered
Does A390 GT have three motors?
Yes. The current UK GT specification includes three electric motors, all-wheel drive and Alpine Active Torque Vectoring.
Is Macan 4’s 408 PS directly comparable with Alpine’s figure?
Porsche labels it as overboost output with Launch Control. Keep that qualification when comparing it with Alpine’s published GT output.
Which has the longer range?
Compare the WLTP figures for the final configurations. The currently selected Alpine GT shows 341 miles; Porsche publishes a 327–379-mile range across Macan 4 Electric configurations.
