Rivian R2 Is Official

Rivian just launched the R2 – a 5K compact electric SUV built to compete head-on with the Tesla Model Y.


The Key Number: 5,000

Starting at 5,000, the R2 targets the hottest segment of the EV market where volume and competition are fierce.


Design and Size

Smaller than the R1S flagship but keeps Rivian rugged look – bold, adventure-ready, and distinctly un-Tesla.


Range and Charging

Over 300 miles of range plus access to Rivian expanding North American charging network for road trips.


Adventure DNA Kept Intact

Despite lower price, R2 keeps Rivian off-road capability, gear tunnel, and outdoor-ready build quality.
