Delivery will be spread out over the next few years, beginning with the quickest choice in spring 2026 and continuing all the way to late 2027 for the most affordable. Each R2 model is lower to the ground and lighter than the bigger R1 series, with a 115.6-inch wheelbase, 185.9-inch overall length, and 9.6-inch ground clearance, which complements 25-degree approach and 26-degree departure angles.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"more-237503\"\/><br \/><iframe title=\"Say hello to R2 | Rivian\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1YV3fZaOQWA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><br \/>The Performance variant, priced at $57,990, will be available first in spring 2026. This beast is propelled by dual motors that deliver 656 horsepower and 609 pound-feet of torque to all four wheels. You\u2019ll go from zero to 60 in 3.6 seconds, and the 87.9 kilowatt-hour battery provides an estimated 330 miles of range on a full charge. Semi-active suspension, 21-inch alloys, heated and ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, a 975 watt audio system with 9 speakers, and a convenient drop-down rear glass panel are all standard. If you choose the launch package, you will also receive a discount on the driver assistance system, a towing package rated at 4400 pounds, and a special selection of exterior paint colors.<\/p>\n<div class=\"aawp\">\n<div class=\"aawp-product aawp-product--horizontal aawp-product--ribbon aawp-product--sale\" data-aawp-product-asin=\"B0DHD74RHP\" data-aawp-product-id=\"224741\" data-aawp-tracking-id=\"tec02e-20\" data-aawp-product-title=\"Maxshot Electric Scooter 8.5  \/10  \/14  Tire 16\/19\/22 Mph Top Speed 12\/16\/21\/27\/28\/49\/50 Miles Long Range Folding Escooter for Adults and Kids with Seat Bag Dual Braking Dual Suspension App\">\n<p>    <span class=\"aawp-product__ribbon aawp-product__ribbon--sale\">Sale<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"aawp-product__thumb\">\n<p>            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aawp-product__image\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/51I0zLvqRjL._SL160_.jpg\" alt=\"Maxshot Electric Scooter, 8.5' \/10' \/14' Tire, 16\/19\/22 Mph Top Speed, 12\/16\/21\/27\/28\/49\/50 Miles Long...\"\/><\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"aawp-product__content\">\n<p>            Maxshot Electric Scooter, 8.5&#8243; \/10&#8243; \/14&#8243; Tire, 16\/19\/22 Mph Top Speed, 12\/16\/21\/27\/28\/49\/50 Miles Long&#8230;        <\/p>\n<div class=\"aawp-product__description\">\n<ul>\n<li>\u3010Dual Suspension and Solid Tire\u3011The 10\u201dhoneycomb tires, along with the shock absorbing system, make this electric scooter adults for a smooth&#8230;<\/li>\n<li>\u3010LED Display &amp; Smart Control &amp;Lockable\u3011You can check your speed, modes and battery level on the LED digital display. check and control the&#8230;<\/li>\n<li>\u3010Powerful Motor &amp; Long Range\u3011The electric scooter for adults with a 500W brushless hub motor allows for speed up to 22mph.

This variant lacks some of the power of the Performance model, but it still includes dual motor all-wheel drive and an 87.9 kilowatt hour battery. It produces 450 horsepower and 537 pound-feet of torque, allowing you to accelerate from 0 to 60 in 4.6 seconds. On the range front, you can expect 330 miles, which is consistent with the Performance variant. Heated and ventilated seats improve rider comfort, and the audio system remains unchanged, but the wheels are reduced to 20 inches, and the suspension loses its semi-active tuning. There are drive modes for everyday use, snow, and modest off-road work, but not the pricier rally and launch settings found on the top model.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"The Rivian R2: What We Saw Behind Closed Doors\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/twh8P8frt_U?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><br \/>If you\u2019re searching for a little more affordable choice, the Standard Long Range model, priced at $48,490, is set to arrive in early 2027. This one has a single rear motor that generates 350 horsepower and 355 pound-feet of torque, allowing you to go from zero to 60 in 5.9 seconds. The battery capacity remains at 87.9 kilowatts, extending the range to 345 miles, according to Rivian\u2019s estimates. The inside is more modest, with only heated front seats and a 525 watt audio system with 5 speakers, while 19-inch wheels are standard. If you wish to be able to drive all four wheels, consider adding a second motor as an upgrade.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Hands On with the 2027 Rivian R2: First Impressions, Price, Range, 0-60 Performance\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/WlFIxfUkt-U?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><br \/>The most economical variant is the base Standard model, which will be available in 2027 for approximately $45,000. It is paired with a smaller battery, but the single back motor and 350 horsepower provide more than 275 miles of range. They haven\u2019t revealed the precise battery capacity or the complete list of functions yet, but so far so good \u2013 it retains the same core proportions and cargo space as its siblings.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.techeblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/13095933\/rivian-r2-launch-1.jpg\" alt=\"Rivian R2 Launch\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\"\/><br \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.techeblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/13095939\/rivian-r2-launch-2.jpg\" alt=\"Rivian R2 Launch\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\"\/><br \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.techeblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/13095942\/rivian-r2-launch-3.jpg\" alt=\"Rivian R2 Launch\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\"\/><br \/>Some of the family\u2019s shared strengths are starting to show through. The total enclosed storage capacity is 90.1 cubic feet, with 28.7 cubic feet dedicated for the back seats and enough accommodation for the entire family, five adults in total. Then there\u2019s the front trunk, which provides extra space up front. Every one of these vehicles includes a native NACS charging connection situated on the driver\u2019s rear side, making it simple to plug in at fast charging stations and reach 10-80% charge in 29 minutes, as well as direct access to the Supercharger network. Fortunately, all of them include the minimum hardware for driver assistance and a 60-day trial to give it a shot, with optional pay-per-month or one-time access available after that.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.techeblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/13095945\/rivian-r2-launch-interior-1.jpg\" alt=\"Rivian R2 Launch Interior\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\"\/><br \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.techeblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/13095950\/rivian-r2-launch-interior-2.jpg\" alt=\"Rivian R2 Launch Interior\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\"\/><br \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.techeblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/13095953\/rivian-r2-launch-interior-3.jpg\" alt=\"Rivian R2 Launch Interior\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\"\/><br \/>There are also a variety of color options available, including metallic finishes such as Catalina Cove, a swirly blue-green tone, and Esker Silver, a lustrous silver. The wheels range from all-season to all-terrain rubber, with some very large options (19, 20, and 21 inches) to pick from. Inside, the regular dark volcanic tone gives off a moody vibe, and the higher end trims add some nice birch wood accents in either a warm or cool tone to give it some character. Sitting in the center of it all is a haptic steering wheel with all of the buttons for scrolling, pushing, pulling, and tilting. Ahead of this are two dual digital screens, from which you may access software updates from the comfort of your own driveway.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> Rivian Brings Four R2 Models to Drivers Ready for Electric Adventure, But Only One Will be Available at Launch<br \/>\n<br \/>#Rivian #Brings #Models #Drivers #Ready #Electric #Adventure #Launch<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rivian has now revealed the entire R2 model lineup, which is based on the same&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3443,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[3339,502,1835,2028,775,2966,838,3338],"class_list":["post-3442","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tech","tag-adventure","tag-brings","tag-drivers","tag-electric","tag-launch","tag-models","tag-ready","tag-rivian"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":["https:\/\/news678.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/rivian-r2-launch.jpg",960,961,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/news678.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/rivian-r2-launch-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/news678.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/rivian-r2-launch-300x300.jpg",300,300,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/news678.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/rivian-r2-launch-768x769.jpg",640,641,true],"large":["https:\/\/news678.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/rivian-r2-launch.jpg",640,641,false],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/news678.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/rivian-r2-launch.jpg",960,961,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/news678.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/rivian-r2-launch.jpg",960,961,false],"covernews-featured":["https:\/\/news678.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/rivian-r2-launch.jpg",960,961,false],"covernews-medium":["https:\/\/news678.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/rivian-r2-launch-540x340.jpg",540,340,true]},"author_info":{"display_name":"admin","author_link":"https:\/\/news678.top\/?author=1"},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/news678.top\/?cat=8\" rel=\"category\">Tech<\/a>","tag_info":"Tech","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3442","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3442"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3442\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/3443"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3442"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3442"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3442"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
