Rivian announces two new EV SUV lines, including one surprise

Rivian’s electric vehicle lineup is getting bigger – including a product line that hadn’t been expected. Two midsize SUV product lines – the R2 and the R3 – are slated to become part of the EV maker’s consumer offerings alongside its existing R1T and R1S, with the latter of the new platforms not having been previously announced. The surprise line includes the R3 midsize crossover and its performance variant, the R3X, according to Rivian.

The R3X will feature "even more dynamic abilities both on and off road" than its sister R3. Rivian said R2 and R3 vehicles can reach 60 miles per hour in less than three seconds with the "quickest powertrain configuration." The three available options include single-motor, dual-motor and tri-motor. Consumers looking at both types of mid-sized platforms will have two battery sizes to pick from.
