For Rossi, Alpine will have to; look beyond Groupe Renault for its future electric SUV platforms and Lotus would be the closest partner. "natural". After all, we already know; that Alpine will work; with the English brand for the development of the future electric A110 which should arrive in 2026. Lotus, for its part, is more; times yes & egrave; said open to the possibility; to share its platforms.

PREMIUM MODELS

The French brand could therefore use the new Electric Premium Architecture platformthat Lotus has developed for its new electric SUV Eletre, as well as the new platform that will be used by Lotus. at the basis of what is currently; known as Lotus Type 134 which will make its debut; in 2024.

Speaking of these two new models, the Alpine CEO described them as “5 meters long and weighing two tons”. They will be premium cars but still able to offer good performance thanks to the characteristics of the electric motors. Alpine wants to enter the US and Chinese markets, where the most popular vehicles are. larger ones such as SUVs have a better chance; to carve out a space for itself compared to the sports ones.

The French brand has not yet chosen where these two new electric models will be built, which will play a very important role in its expansion project. The ambitious goal is that of reaching global sales of 150,000 cars a year by 2030, compared to 3,546 last year relating only to the A110. This will be the only possible with the launch of several new models on the market.
