Alpine arrives in Ireland

Alpine A110

The French Alpine sporty brand has arrived in Ireland with two models, writes Brian Byrne. They are being distributed by Cedar Motors, which already represents Renault, Dacia, and Nissan in Ireland.

The Alpine brand is rooted in motorsport since its foundation in 1955, especially in rallying and Formula 1. After a period in the doldrums, it was reformed by Renault in 2018.

The A110 sports car is a 2-seater and has a mid-engine layout. The joint European Car of the Year 2025 Alpine A290 is an electric hot hatch with a starting price of €36,690.

The brand plans to have seven fully electric vehicles by 2030.
