Alpine expands Belgian network with Alpine Discovery
Alpine is stepping up a gear in Belgium. Alongside the existing Alpine Stores in Antwerp, Zaventem, Ghent, Liège, Turnhout and Marche-en-Famenne, the brand is rolling out a new distribution concept: Alpine Discovery. Five additional locations: Mechelen, Kortrijk, Hasselt, Mons and Charleroi are meant to bring Alpine closer to the customer, right at the moment the brand enters a crucial phase in its electrification strategy.

Alpine Discovery: not a classic showroom, but a brand experience
The new Alpine Discovery sites are integrated within selected Renault Group partner dealerships, but function as fully-fledged Alpine spaces. Not an anonymous corner, but a recognisable Alpine environment where design, performance and technology take centre stage.
Visitors get the chance to discover the current and future range up close, with particular attention to the Alpine A290 and the brand new Alpine A390. Both models form the backbone of Alpine's new electric identity: light, sharply steered and distinctly sporty, yet adapted to today's mobility needs.
Strategic timing: the A390 as a catalyst
The rollout of Alpine Discovery is not happening now by chance. With the A390 (Alpine's first fully electric sport fastback), the brand wants to appeal to a broader audience than ever before. No longer purely purists and lovers of compact sports cars, but also customers who want to combine performance, design and daily usability.
By densifying the network, Alpine is deliberately lowering the threshold. Less distance, more points of contact, and above all: more opportunities to experience the brand in person.
Service and aftersales fully worthy of Alpine too
Important detail: the Alpine Discovery sites are not solely focused on sales and discovery. They also offer full Alpine aftersales services. Maintenance, technical follow-up and service interventions take place locally, according to the brand's quality standards.
That is essential at a stage when Alpine is expanding its electric range. Software updates, high-voltage components and specific sporty tuning require specialised knowledge, and Alpine wants to make that available outside the major cities too.
Focus on professional customers and fleets
With this network expansion, Alpine is also explicitly targeting professional customers and fleet managers. The A290 and A390 open the door for the brand to a new business audience: companies that want to electrify their fleet without sacrificing image or driving pleasure.
Thanks to the extra locations, Alpine can respond faster, offer more personal guidance and better address the needs of companies looking for something other than the classic premium EV.
