EV Channels Review

Rivian has officially unveiled the R2, a highly anticipated compact SUV, alongside the unexpected R3 and R3X models. The R2, slated for a first-half 2026 delivery, aims for accessibility with a starting price of $45,000, a slight reduction from leaked figures. Key features include a spacious interior with folding seats for in-car camping, a unique rear drop-down window, and a NACS charge port. While the R2's design is familiar, drawing comparisons to the R1S, its smaller footprint makes it more practical for urban environments and garages. The R3 and R3X, a crossover and a performance variant respectively, were surprise reveals, showcasing Rivian's platform flexibility. Pricing and exact availability for the R3 models were not disclosed, but they are expected to be even more accessible. The event highlighted Rivian's commitment to innovation, safety, and expanding its product portfolio to a wider audience.
