In most respects, the 2026 Rivian R2 resembles a shrunken-down R1S, right down to its similar pill-shaped LED headlights, full-width front and rear light bars, smooth flanks, and chunky stance. No question, the R2 has the Rivian look down pat. At 185.6 inches long, 66.9 inches tall, and with its 115.5-inch wheelbase, the R2 is appreciably smaller than the 200.8-inch-long, 79.3-inch-tall R1S, which rides on a longer 121.1-inch wheelbase.
The major differences between it and the R1 models lurk beneath its familiar boxy shell. A new R2 platform debuts here, with a host of new efficiencies learned from the R1 models already on sale. The changes are said to keep the R2's cost down, a critical goal for smaller, more affordable electric vehicles, which are still packed with pricey tech. , and moved side to side in addition to scrolling up and down. Though their neatest trick is that they have contextual haptics.
For example, when adjusting the audio volume, the dials deliver small clicks, but changing other things like the air conditioning fan levels will be accompanied by larger clicking sensations. When the user gets to the top of a menu the dials will "stop" purely using haptic motors.Look for the Rivian R2 to go on sale in the first half of 2026.
Pricing will be competitive, with a starting MSRP under $50,000—Rivian says it'll cost $45,000 to start. That MSRP places it in direct competition with Tesla's more street-focused Model Y. It's said to be capable of up to 330 miles of range, though which battery nets that figure has yet to be detailed.
