The Rivian R2 Configurator Is Live. But You'll Have To Wait Until 2027 For The Best Color

"Rivian has switched on the configurator for the R2. Potential buyers can now configure an R2 in their desired spec, showing all of the features and timelines for release. Customer deliveries begin this spring, with the ability to order your R2 opening up in June. If you've got your eye on a Rivian R2, you're not alone. Rivian has reportedly logged over 200,000 reservations for its upcoming electric SUV, and folks are growing more antsy as it gets closer to being in their driveway."

"If you want an R2 at launch (and you're an early enough reservation holder), you'll be able to grab an R2 Performance with Launch Package which adds on Autonomy+, Tow Package, a special key fob, and the ability to purchase Launch Green paint for $57,990. All-in, a fully-equipped Performance with Launch Package will run $62,745. Here's how that pricing breaks down. Any paint color other than silver will run $1,000 to $2,000, and some colors won't be immediately available."

"For example, Forest Green isn't on the docket until late 2026 and Rivian's beautiful Borealis purple (which is only available on the Performance trim) won't be available until 2027. Rivian's Dark interior comes standard, but for those who prefer a lighter look Coastal Cloud will be a $1,000 upgrade when Rivian unlocks it for ordering later this year for all trims except the Standard."

"If you don't plan on buying a Launch Package, Rivian does offer some additional upgrades for its Standard and Premium trims. All-wheel-drive comes standard on the $53,990 Premium trim, but it's a $3,500 upgrade for the $48,490 Standard model. Equipping AWD cuts the Standard's estimated range from 3"

For launch buyers, an R2 Performance with Launch Package is available, including Autonomy+, Tow Package, a special key fob, and Launch Green paint for $57,990, totaling $62,745 when fully equipped. Paint options vary in price and availability, with some colors delayed until late 2026 or 2027. Dark interior is standard, while Coastal Cloud is a $1,000 upgrade when unlocked later this year for most trims. Premium includes standard all-wheel drive, while Standard requires a $3,500 upgrade.
