From InsideEVs.
Rivian’s make-or-break moment is here. It just announced the final specs and pricing for its R2 lineup, which launches in the second quarter with the dual-motor, all-wheel-drive R2 Performance, stickering at $57,990.
Similar to other recent EV launches, Rivian plans to roll out lower-priced models as time goes on. An R2 Premium with AWD will go on sale in late 2026 for $53,990. The rear-wheel-drive R2 Standard will hit the scene in the first half of 2027 for $48,490.
The R2 Performance offers a laundry list of upmarket features, like semi-active suspension; a premium interior with heated and cooled front seats, plus heated rear seats; 21-inch wheels; adaptive high beams; tow hooks; and an upgraded audio system. The rear-wheel drive R2 Standard loses a lot of the fancier stuff, but is the range leader of the lineup, with an estimated 345 miles on tap.
The company says it will hit the $45,000 starting price that it announced in 2024, but any buyers banking on that will have to wait a while. That version of the R2 Standard, sporting a smaller battery and less range, won’t come until late 2027, over a year after the R2’s initial launch.
