Alpine A290 vs MINI JCW Electric

Hot hatch, cooler head.
The A290 trumps the MINI with 116 litres more boot space, a proper 5-seat layout, and 176 kg less weight for better handling. While the MINI skips an instrument cluster entirely, the Alpine gets a crisp 10.25-inch digital display, and it's got Google Built-in. Big win for tech-savvy drivers.

Alpine A290 vs smart #1

Sharper, lighter, smarter.
Weighing in 346 kg lighter, the Alpine A290 feels nimbler than the smart #1. You also get more boot space, a cleaner drive, and, crucially, more physical controls, which means fewer touchscreen tantrums. And with Google Built-in, it's still plenty clever. Lightweight doesn't mean light on tech.
