R2 Deliveries Begin

June 9 marks an important milestone at Rivian and for excited adventurers across the US. Deliveries, order invitations and demo drives for R2 have begun.

The launch of R1S and R1T was our handshake with the world, proof that electric vehicles can go further and do more. R2 is our next chapter. It’s about scale with intention: bringing our design, performance and technology to a significantly broader audience without losing an ounce of the Rivian DNA.



Adventure comes standard. The terrain is up to you.

R2 is a true all-rounder, with the best blend of dynamics on- and off- pavement in its segment. This ultimate daily driver is engineered to be smooth in the city, thrilling on twisty roads, and incredibly capable on rough terrain.



We started deliveries with our R2 Performance with Launch Package because we wanted early owners to experience the absolute peak of this new platform. This vehicle starts at $57,990* and comes with Autonomy+ included** featuring Universal Hands-Free assisted driving across 3.5 million miles of roads in the U.S. and Canada***. Performance with Launch Package will also offer:

Dual-motor all-wheel drive producing 656 horsepower and 609 lb-ft of torque
0–60 mph in as quick as 3.6 seconds****
An EPA-estimated range of up to 330 miles****
Semi-active suspension (unique to Performance trim)
9.6 inches of ground clearance — class-leading off-road capability
Exclusive option of Launch Green exterior color (paid upgrade)
Special Rivian Green anodized key fob
Tow Package with an integrated 2-inch hitch receiver and 4,400 pounds of towing capacity


Our most advanced technology yet

R2 delivers Rivian’s most advanced technology yet at a more accessible price point, with our innovative architecture, purpose-built hardware, powerful compute platform, and Rivian OS 2.0: a fresh, intuitive UI design language. We reduced complexity and costs in hardware while maximizing the features and performance of software.

R2 marks an evolution in software-defined vehicles, built to evolve, pairing an AI-ready architecture with 5G connectivity, the most powerful infotainment compute in a consumer vehicle in North America, and tactile haptic controls. Its multi-modal perception stack with 11 HDR cameras totaling 65MP and a five-radar system sets a new bar for sensory fidelity. This foundation powers an expanding suite of driver assistance and active safety features designed for a drive that feels as advanced as it operates, and a vehicle that gets smarter with every over-the-air update.

Customers who purchase the R2 Launch Package will have access to our Autonomy+ package included, and will see new features roll out to their vehicles over time including an update to Universal Hands-Free that stops for red lights and stop signs.



Room for everything and everyone

R2 delivers the space and flexibility you’d expect from a much larger SUV, maximizing every inch to deliver best-in-class interior volume. A masterclass in packaging, the rear cargo area can fit two XL suitcases, a stroller, backpacks, plus additional underfloor storage. And there’s plenty of space for five adults to sit comfortably with a spacious 40.4 inches of second-row legroom.

The unique rear drop glass offers an invitation to immerse yourself in the world around you. With the press of a single button, Quick Drop lowers all four passenger windows and the rear drop glass simultaneously to create an open-air experience.



Built to Last. Responsibly.

Rivian vehicles are built for every adventure, and that means using materials that are not only durable and highly functional but also responsibly sourced. A quarter of R2’s total vehicle mass, amounting to 1,200+ lbs, is made from recycled and/or bio-based materials. We believe durability is one of the most effective paths to sustainability, so we use materials that can withstand real-world use.

As with R1, Rivian will match the first 10,000 miles of driving with 100% renewable energy (generated from projects like this community solar site) when customers take delivery of an R2. All Rivians, including R2, get their first charge from renewable wind and solar energy generated on-site at our manufacturing facility in Normal, Illinois.



R2 is fueling a sustainable future for Rivian and extending our brand to new audiences. We can’t wait to see where our community goes on their adventures.

* Actual pricing may vary. Additional taxes and fees will apply based on location. ** Driver assistance features, including Autonomy+, are designed to support the driver but do not replace a driver’s judgment or the need to pay attention and control the vehicle. Drivers should be prepared to resume control at all times, and hands should remain on the steering wheel. Some driver assistance features can only be used once Highway Assist is engaged. See Rivian Owner’s Guide for details and limitations. *** Universal Hands-Free will not stop or slow down for traffic lights or stop signs. Review the Rivian Owner's Guide for additional details about this feature. **** Actual vehicle capability will depend on selected options and trim. Torque, horsepower, and acceleration timing estimates vary based on battery, tire, drive modes, vehicle load and weather. Official EPA values are noted — some range estimates are preliminary estimates based on the EPA test cycle and are not official EPA values. The EPA estimates range through a series of standardized lab tests that mimic real world conditions. Factors including tires, drive modes, HVAC settings and accessories can all have an impact on range. 0-60 acceleration in 3.6 seconds (with 21'' wheel), 50-70 mph in as quick as 1.55 seconds and 656 horsepower available with R2 Performance.
