Rivian R2 1st Generation

2026–2026 · suv

Rivian's mid-size electric SUV — smaller than the R1S, lower starting price, new dedicated platform. Production began April 2026 at Rivian's Normal, Illinois facility. Launch trim is the Performance (Spring 2026 deliveries); Premium follows in late 2026, Standard Long Range in 2027, and base Standard in late 2027.

Watch out: Too new for owner-side failure-mode data — first deliveries are just rolling out. Watch the R1S history as a proxy for early-production quirks (HVAC software, drive-unit calibration, infotainment). Rivian's service network is improving but still mostly metro-centered; verify proximity before purchase if you're outside major markets.
