There are plenty of electric car options around that $45,000 sweet spot, and yes, some are dubbed crossover “SUVs” in that more rugged, car-like hatchback style. But as for something that exudes the boxy, higher-sitting form factor of a classic SUV there simply haven’t been a lot of quality options in the EV space.
The R2 comes with an estimated range of over 300 miles, and enough power to go from 0-60 miles per hour in three seconds. There will be single, dual and tri-motor options across the various configurations. Under the hood, so to speak, the R2 will be4695 cylindrical battery cells, which are taller than Tesla’s cells. The R2 will also have 11 cameras and five radars built-in for autonomous capabilities.
The R2 has a lot of promise, but it’s not actually set for release until 2026, so there’s still a lengthy wait until it actually rolls off the assembly line. No release date has been confirmed for the R3 or R3X, though Rivian teases they will launch “soon” after the R2.
