Alpine’s next car will be an electric crossover, even though the company doesn’t call it that. We’ll get our first complete look at its new “sport fastback” on May 27 when it officially debuts, but the French performance brand has decided to tease the car while wrapping up some winter testing in Finland.

Alpine hides the crossover’s finer styling details under a camouflage wrap, but it’s easy to tell it retains much of the A390_β Concept’s styling touches. It has a sharp, angular face with thin headlights and a hood blade that directs airflow over the windshield. The rear has a sloping roof, a small spoiler, and what appear to be full-width taillights.

The only bit of the cabin we get to see is the steering wheel, which has a few Formula 1-inspired touches, like a dedicated overtake button and another for recharging. There’s also a selector for the five drive modes, which will include a Track mode.

Specific details about the A390’s performance metrics remain a mystery, but Alpine says it’ll have three electric motors and torque vectoring, so the car shouldn’t be short on power or agility. It measures 181.69 inches long, 60.31 inches tall, and 74.21 inches wide—similar in proportions to the Ford Escape—but about six inches shorter.

We should learn everything about the new crossover at its debut on May 27 in France. This is Alpine’s third vehicle after the A110 and A290, which the brand will close the order books for early next year. But don’t fret, as Alpine is working on an all-electric A110 successor—we just don’t know when it’ll arrive.
