Rivian R2

The 2027 Rivian R2 starts at $44,990 MSRP for the R2 Standard RWD and runs to $57,990 for the R2 Performance AWD across the 5 configurations we track. With Rivian's $1,495 destination fee, that comes to $46,485 to $59,485 before tax, registration and options. By trim: R2 Standard RWD, $44,990 ($46,485 with the destination fee); R2 Standard Long Range RWD, $48,490 ($49,985 with the destination fee); R2 Standard Long Range AWD, $51,990 ($53,485 with the destination fee); R2 Premium AWD, $53,990 ($55,485 with the destination fee); R2 Performance AWD, $57,990 ($59,485 with the destination fee).

The Performance AWD is EPA-rated at 330 miles on 21-inch wheels (307 on 20-inch all-terrains), and Rivian estimates 330 miles for the Premium, which EPA hasn't rated yet. Rivian estimates the Standard Long Range RWD at up to 345 miles — the lineup's best — the dual-motor Standard Long Range AWD at 330 miles and the base Standard RWD at about 275 miles, but labels those as preliminary until the trims ship in 2027. Cold weather, towing, and highway speeds reduce real-world range, as with any EV.

Rivian claims 5.9 seconds for the single-motor RWD Standard trims (about 350 hp), 4.6 seconds for the dual-motor Premium AWD and Standard Long Range AWD (about 450 hp), and 3.6 seconds for the 656-hp Performance AWD. These are manufacturer figures; Rivian's 0-60 claims tend to run conservative versus instrumented tests, so the AWD models should meet or beat them. The Performance's 3.6-second sprint is quick for a $58,000 family-size electric SUV.

Rivian quotes a 10-80% DC fast charge in under 30 minutes under ideal conditions. Because the R2 has a native NACS port, you can do this directly at a Tesla Supercharger with no adapter, and it also works on CCS networks and Rivian's Adventure Network. Home charging uses a Level 2 (240V) connection on the same port, refilling overnight. Exact peak charging speed varies by battery pack, and a cold battery charges slower until it is preconditioned.

Rivian built the R2 to take on the Model Y, and the top R2 Performance ($57,990) is priced the same as a Model Y Performance before destination. The R2 brings rugged adventure-brand styling, a roomy five-seat cabin, and native Supercharger access. The Model Y counters with a far more mature production pipeline, faster availability across trims, stronger resale, and a lower entry price today. For a sub-$50,000 buyer the Model Y is available now, while the cheap R2 trims wait until 2027.

It depends on the trim. Customer deliveries of the $57,990 Performance AWD began June 9, 2026, with new orders quoted at roughly two to six weeks in some regions. The $53,990 Premium AWD follows in late 2026. Of the more affordable Standard versions, the $48,490 Long Range RWD is due in early 2027, a $51,990 dual-motor AWD Long Range in spring 2027 and the $44,990 base RWD in summer 2027. Every R2 is built at Rivian's Normal, Illinois plant; Rivian guides to 65,000–70,000 total deliveries in 2026 but doesn't break out an R2 target.

Yes. The R2 ships with a native NACS (J3400) port built in from the factory, so it plugs directly into Tesla Superchargers with no adapter — a first for a Rivian at launch (2022-2025 R1 models used CCS1 and needed an adapter). The port sits on the rear driver's side, matching Tesla's layout, and the R2 can also charge on CCS networks and Rivian's own Adventure Network.

Not the federal EV purchase credit — the $7,500 Clean Vehicle Credit expired September 30, 2025, so no new EV qualifies anymore. However, the R2 is assembled in Normal, Illinois, so a financed purchase can qualify for the new federal car-loan-interest deduction (up to $10,000 of interest per year through 2028, subject to income limits). Some state and utility rebates may also apply — check our /deals page for current offers.

Yes — the Rivian R2 is offered in both rear-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive configurations. RWD trims are typically less expensive and slightly more efficient; AWD trims add a second motor for better traction in snow/rain and faster acceleration.

Real-world data from EV fleets suggests modern lithium-ion EV batteries (2020+) retain roughly 85–90% of their original capacity at 100,000 miles, above the 70% capacity floor in the Rivian R2 battery warranty, and 80–85% at 200,000 miles.

The Rivian R2 battery warranty is 8 years / 120,000 miles, with a 70% capacity floor. It covers capacity loss below that floor, and the coverage transfers to later owners. Compare it with every other EV in our EV battery warranty rankings.
