Performance and range
- Powertrain: The R2 will offer three motor configurations:
- a single-motor rear-wheel-drive,
- a dual-motor all-wheel-drive,
- a high-performance tri-motor all-wheel-drive.
- Acceleration: The tri-motor version is expected to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in under 3 seconds.
- Range: All powertrain configurations are expected to offer a range of over 300 miles.
- Battery: It will feature a new, structural battery pack using next-generation LG Energy 4695 cylindrical battery cells, which offer increased energy density.
- Charging: The R2 will be equipped with the North American Charging Standard (NACS) port and is designed for fast charging, achieving a 10% to 80% charge in under 30 minutes under ideal conditions.
Production and availability
- Production timeline: Production is currently slated to begin in the first half of 2026.
- Manufacturing location: To accelerate production and reduce capital costs, Rivian will initially build the R2 at its facility in Normal, Illinois, before eventually moving production to its new factory in Georgia.
