The range in one sentence
The A290 comes with two power levels and three trims. The 180 hp GT is the cheapest and the one with the longest homologated range; the GT Performance moves to 220 hp and the GTS adds equipment and finish. All three share a 52 kWh usable battery and 100 kW rapid charging.
Reference prices

These are 2026 figures and change with grants, equipment and dealer. In the UK the same trims are badged GT+, GT Performance+ and GTS+. Always confirm with the official configurator before signing.
Which version makes sense
- GT: 180 hp, 236 miles WLTP and 19-inch wheels. For anyone using the car daily who does not need the extra power and values range and price.
- GT Performance: 220 hp, 226 miles WLTP, the same chassis and Brembo brakes. The sweet spot if performance matters.
- GTS: 220 hp and the fullest equipment. It makes sense if you want the finish and do not want to add options.
The A290 is not a family car. Rear seats are tight and the 326-litre boot is fine for two people. If you need five real seats or a long-distance load carrier, look elsewhere.
Before you sign
- Sit in the back and check the space against your height.
- Ask whether the car has One Pedal. It is a MY26 feature and cannot be added to earlier cars.
- Check that you can install a wallbox or charge at home. Without home charging, the experience changes a lot.
- Get an insurance quote with the VIN, not a generic estimate.
- If you choose matte paint, ask about maintenance and PPF.
Buying used
Check the software history, front tyre wear, discs and battery report. Early A290s may not have One Pedal; it is not a fault, but it should be reflected in the price. Be wary of a car with PPF and no invoice: on matte paint, a bad repair is obvious.
