The 2026 Rivian R2 is an all-new midsize SUV that promises a blend of performance, capability, and utility in a five-seat package. Rivian is targeting adventurous customers with the R2, who want a vehicle that can handle everyday commutes and weekend getaways with ease. The R2 is built on a new midsize platform that it shares with the Rivian R3.The R1s are available in dual- and quad-motor configurations, but the R2 will offer single-motor rear-drive, dual-motor all-wheel drive, and tri-motor all-wheel drive, with two motors on the rear axle and one on the front. Rivian says the tri-motor R2 can rip to 60 mph in less than three seconds. Those motors are powered by a structural battery pack that makes up the R2's floor, and Rivian says every motor configuration will deliver over 300 miles of driving range. The R2 retains the classic Rivian look with a bold and straightforward rectangular design. The signature lighting package seen on the front and rear of the R1T and R1S is also present on the R2. A unique feature is the powered rear glass that fully drops into the liftgate, creating an open-air driving experience. The R2 promises a comfortable ride for five passengers with ample legroom and headroom. The seats are expected to be supportive and comfortable for long journeys. The Rivian R2 to go on sale in the first half of 2026.
