2026 Rivian R2: What We Know About The Smaller Electric SUV And Pickup Models | Carscoops carscoops

SUV in the brand’s lineup, allowing the company to go mainstream and target a broader swath of the market, both in terms of demographics and geographically.We haven’t seen any prototypes on the road yet, so it’s too early to tell what the new R2s will look like. However, with our input and the help of AI, we tried to envision a few design paths that the SUV and pickup truck model could follow, focusing on a more youthful take on the R1’s aesthetics.

In terms of powertrains, the new R2s will probably use a dual electric motor setup, which in the case of the R1 delivers 600 hp, most likely in different output variants. Rivian might choose to keep the R1’s Quad-Motor setup producing 835 horsepower and 908 lb-ft of torque that allows for a 0-60mph in 3 seconds flat exclusively for the larger models.

The Rivian R2 family will be produced in a new $5 billion factory in Georgia, US. The plant is scheduled to open in 2024, starting with the production of another model prior to the debut of the new platform.

It is possible we will start seeing early development prototypes in 2024 or 2025, giving us a better idea of the model’s styling and proportions. Until then, check out out speculative

Rivian good work, any chance you'll have soft close doors available?

We have one in stock! vautogallery

I doubt a design like this would come out of Rivian, the company is focused on 'adventure,' and a lot of these concept designs look a little too corporate lmao
