Meet R2 and R3

The newest product lines built on our all-new midsize platform

ProductR2R3

Today we shared our new midsize platform and a first look at our upcoming vehicle portfolio, including the exciting new R2 and R3 product lines.

Designed to bring more adventure to more people, R2 and R3 deliver amazing performance, utility and range at a significantly lower price point than our flagship R1 line.

R2 + R3 + R3X


R2 is our versatile new midsize SUV with room for five people and all their gear.

Designed for big adventures as well as everyday use with its exceptional utility, performance and capability, the R2 lineup starts at $44,990 and is available to reserve today in the U.S. for $100 ($150 in Canada). Deliveries began in the U.S. on June 9, 2026 starting with R2 Performance with Launch Package.

“R2 provides buyers starting in the $45,000 price range with a much-needed choice with a thoroughly developed technology platform that is bursting with personality.”
RJ Scaringe, Rivian CEO and founder


R3 is a midsize crossover designed with even tighter dimensions and at a lower price point than R2.

R3X is the performance variant of R3. It further demonstrates the scalability of our midsize platform and delivers even more dynamic capabilities both on- and off-road.

R2 and R3 will feature two battery sizes. The larger pack will achieve over 300 miles of range on a single charge and offer 0-60 mph acceleration in under 3 seconds for the quickest powertrain configuration.


“R2 and R3 are distinctly Rivian in terms of performance, capability and usability yet with pricing that makes them accessible to a lot of people. I can’t wait to get these to customers.”
RJ Scaringe, Rivian CEO and founder

R2 and R3 are built on an all-new midsize vehicle platform, developed to deliver amazing performance, range and cost efficiency.

This platform consolidates and eliminates parts thanks to intelligent design, including the use of high pressure die castings, a structural battery unit where the top of the pack also serves as the floor, and closure systems that dramatically reduce complexity. R2 and R3 also utilize Rivian’s drivetrain platform and internally developed network architecture, computer topology and software stack.



Three Motor Variants: Leveraging Rivian’s in-house drive unit platform and technology, there will be Single-Motor (RWD), Dual-Motor (AWD), and Tri-Motor (two motors in rear and one in front) configurations, with the quickest configuration delivering 0-60 mph in under 3 seconds.

Structural Battery: Utilizes an all-new 4695 cell that offers significant improvements in energy density and output, estimated to deliver over 300 miles of range on a single charge for both R2 and R3.



Fast Charging: DC fast charging is compatible with both NACS (native) and CCS (with adapter), charging from 10% to 80% in less than 30 minutes.

Self Driving: Utilizing our new perception stack featuring 11 cameras, five radars and a more powerful compute platform, R2 and R3 will provide dramatically enhanced autonomous capabilities.

Ever improving and expanding features: As with all Rivian vehicles, Rivian has developed its network architecture, topology of computers and associated full software platform to facilitate frequent software updates – the headroom for feature growth over time is extremely exciting.

“With R2 and R3 our obsessive goal is to stay true to Rivian’s product attributes while making our products accessible to a lot more people.”
Jeff Hammoud, Chief Design Officer


R2 and R3 demonstrate how Rivian’s unmistakable design language adapts to different vehicle sizes and form factors.

R2's four passenger windows and rear powered glass drop fully inviting the outside in, creating a unique open-air driving experience.

With R3, its hatch-style design maximizes space while keeping a sporty, athletic silhouette.



Interior Space

With an extreme focus on rear passenger legroom, even long trips in R2 and R3 are comfortable. With the seats folding completely flat, ample sized front and rear trunks, and additional interior storage, there is space for everyone and all their gear.



Refined Touches

Rivian’s new steering wheel with integrated Haptic Halo Wheels makes it easier to stay focused on the road ahead.

Materials balance durability and sustainability with easy to clean textiles and finishes.



A new line of Rivian Adventure Gear is also on the horizon.

We'll start later this year with our new Travel Kitchen and Hangout Lights. We are also looking forward to expanding the Adventure Gear assortment in the future with the Rivian Treehouse, our take on the rooftop tent bringing the nostalgia of an epic childhood fort with a lighting system, interior fan and incredible views. Our Cargo Box provides additional storage and can also be paired with our Travel Kitchen to expand your culinary suite with a Water Tank, Cooler and Cookware Set.

Reserve an R2 today with a refundable deposit of $100 for U.S. residents and $150 for Canadian residents.

Reservations for R3, R3X and for international residents interested in R2 will follow at a later date.

*Pricing may vary based on vehicle options. Additional taxes and fees will apply based on location.
