Rivian Unveils New Electric SUV Models in Livestream Event
In a highly anticipated livestream event, electric vehicle manufacturer Rivian officially revealed its newest addition to the lineup – the R2 electric SUV. Surprising viewers, Rivian also introduced the R3 and R3X models during the event.
The R2 is a compact SUV boasting a range of at least 300 miles per charge, with multiple motor layouts available. The vehicle features a robust infotainment center, self-driving features, and a spacious interior with ample storage options. Priced starting at $45,000, preorders for the R2 are now open, with deliveries expected to begin in 2026.
For those looking for a more compact option, the R3 offers similar design features with three models to choose from. The R3X, on the other hand, is a high-performance vehicle with a rugged design and only a tri-motor option available.
While pricing and availability information for the R3 and R3X have not been announced, Rivian has teased accessories for all their vehicles. However, the company has been facing challenges in recent months, including laying off 10 percent of salaried employees and implementing job cuts at their Illinois factory.
Despite these obstacles, Rivian’s new electric SUV models have generated excitement in the market, with consumers eagerly anticipating the release of these innovative and eco-friendly vehicles. Stay tuned for more updates on Rivian’s electrifying developments.
