Rivian R2 launch: Here's what $57,990 gets you | TechCrunch

"Rivian's bid to sell a more affordable EV that is accessible to a broader market will cost between $45,000 and $57,990 - price points that vary based on performance and other interior and exterior touches."

"The R2 Performance with the Launch Package trim, an all-wheel drive dual motor EV with up to 330 miles of EPA estimated range, will start at $57,990. Rivian will eventually drop the launch edition label and simply sell a performance trim, though it has not yet shared pricing details."

"Notably, Rivian is fairly equitable across all the trims when it comes to the basics. All of the R2 trims are built off Rivian's new mid-sized platform that uses motors developed and manufactured in house. They all come with an 87.9 kilowatt-hour battery pack and a native North American Charging Standard port."

Rivian has announced complete pricing and specifications for its R2 mid-sized SUV, designed to make electric vehicles more accessible. The R2 Performance with Launch Package, featuring dual-motor all-wheel drive and 330 miles of range, launches this spring at $57,990. A premium version with the same range but less horsepower arrives in late 2026 at $53,990. Standard versions follow: a long-range model with 345 miles of range in early 2027 at $48,490, and a base model with 275 miles at $45,000 in late 2027. All trims share Rivian's new mid-sized platform, in-house motors, an 87.9 kilowatt-hour battery pack, and North American Charging Standard ports. The availability of the cheapest version remains uncertain and depends on initial sales performance.
