Rivian Now Shows Residual Value in R1 Shop Lease Estimates for More Transparent Pricing

Rivian just made it a little easier for shoppers to understand the numbers behind a lease. The company has added residual value details directly to the payment estimator on the R1 Shop.

If you’re browsing available R1T or R1S inventory, click on any vehicle that catches your eye. Once you’re on the vehicle’s page, hit the “Payment” button and you’ll see the residual value listed right under the monthly lease price.

For anyone unfamiliar, residual value is essentially the estimated worth of the vehicle at the end of your lease term. It plays a big role in calculating your monthly payment, higher residual values typically mean lower monthly costs, since you’re only paying for the depreciation that occurs during the lease.

This small but useful update means you no longer have to guess or rely on back-and-forth with a sales advisor to get that figure. Having it visible upfront gives shoppers more transparency when comparing deals.

It’s another step in Rivian’s push to make the buying and leasing process more straightforward, and it might help more people feel confident about locking in a deal directly from the R1 Shop.
