"The rollout for the company's first mid-size (two-row) offering will be similar to its previous vehicles, with more expensive premium models hitting the road first this spring, followed by more affordable configurations becoming available later this year and into 2027. This timeline is especially important for anyone hoping to snag the $45,000 base model of the R2, which isn't expected to go on sale until sometime in late 2027."
"Some features that will be standard on every R2 are a native NACS charging port and Autonomy+ hardware. However, for the latter, while new vehicles will come with a free 60-day trial of Autonomy+, once that expires, owners will need to choose between a one-time fee or a monthly subscription to continue using Rivian's enhanced hands-free driving tech."
"The R2 Performance with Launch Package features a dual-motor AWD setup with 656 horsepower and 609 lb-ft of torque with EPA-estimated range of up to 330 miles and 0 to 60 time of up to 3.6 seconds. The Launch Package will include a free lifetime subscription to Autonomy+, along with 20-inch Black Sand all-terrain wheels."
Rivian announced full pricing and trim levels for its R2 mid-size electric SUV, launching spring 2026 with premium models first, followed by more affordable configurations through 2027. The R2 Performance with Launch Package starts at $57,990, offering dual-motor AWD with 656 horsepower, 609 lb-ft torque, 330-mile EPA range, and 3.6-second 0-60 acceleration. The base $45,000 model arrives in late 2027. All R2 models include native NACS charging ports and Autonomy+ hardware with a free 60-day trial; continued use requires subscription. The Launch Package includes lifetime Autonomy+ subscription and premium features. The R2 represents Rivian's first mass-market vehicle, bringing R1T and R1S technology to accessible pricing.
