The first UK delivery year for the A110, initially as the limited Premiere Edition only.

A well-documented example with full Alpine service history is essential.
The PEB manages power distribution and is prone to internal failure, leading to a total loss of power and a "Check Electric System" warning.

The tablet-style infotainment system is known for lagging or completely freezing, requiring a system reboot or software update.
The lightweight Brembo calipers are prone to high-pitched squealing during low-speed braking.
