Rivian is a renowned electric vehicle startup of the U.S. After successfully launching its R1S and R1T, Rivian is now ready to launch its first next generation model for the fans- the R2 Electric SUV. Rivian has planned to launch the EV on March 07 but the specs, pricing and some features have leaked through the website.
The key details – that have been through the website are here. It said that the R2 will come in 2026. Starting at prices from $47,000 and offers a range of up to 330 miles (531 kilometers). Further the five passenger electric SUV can accelerate from zero to 60 mph in just three seconds.
Also the dimension of the electric SUV will be 185.6 inches long, 75 inches wide and 66.9 inches high. While looking at the source code on the Rivian website, there is also mention of a frunk, according to Electrek. It is “ We design our vehicles to maximize storage throughout. The roomy front trunk offers plenty of space to show large items – from weekend gear to weekly grocery haul.”
Another detail revealed by Rivian is “The company says that it has a bike mount system that can fit in it when not in use.” Our bike Mount system simply snaps into the rear accessory ports so you can take bikes to go. No tools needed. Ready in minutes. Fits in the front trunk when you’re not using it.”
This time Rivian has framed its electric vehicle with a new entry-level option leveraging what the company learned from the R1 program to deliver a more mass-market vehicle– something to compete with Tesla’s Model Y, which is now the most popular vehicle in the world.
