The Rivian R2 is here, bringing the EV maker's lineup to three models and adding a more affordable option.
Ford Mustang Mach-E. It retains the signature, chunky light bar and upright oval-shaped headlights in front and the lower bumper features a pair of prominenthooks. And then under the hood, it has a sizable frunk like the other Rivian models. Along the side, you get pop-out door handles, simple body sculpting and a flat roof all the way to the rear. The rear quarter windows pop out , and the rear window can be dropped, too.
The interior looks familiar – it has a pair of screens with a large infotainment touchscreen and a smaller digital instrument cluster in front of the driver running Rivian’s in-house software. However, the R2 introduces a new steering wheel with haptic dials for controls. Jokingly, CEO RJ Scaringe said one point of feedback for the R1 products was the lack of a glovebox. In response, it gave the R2 two gloveboxes.
The R2 is built on a new platform designed for midsize vehicles, meaning it's not sharing bones with the R1 or R1S. Rivian also says it’s using a new battery technology it calls 4695. It’s a cylindrical cell that is much larger than the battery cells Rivian uses for its R1S and R1T. The battery pack itself is structural, with the top of the pack acting as the floor of the vehicle.
The dimensions given say the R2 is 185.6 inches long, 75 inches wide and 66.9 inches high on a 115.6-inch wheelbase, with 9.8 inches of ground clearance sitting on 32-inch tires. We don’t have prices for all the trims right now, but Scaringe ended his presentation about the R2 by saying its starting price will be around $45,000. That price likely applies to the single-motor RWD version with the smallest battery pack. Expect the versions with the bigger battery pack and quicker acceleration to cost significantly more than that entry point. You can reserve one now onwebsite with a $100 refundable deposit.
