RJ Confirms Rivian R2 Will Launch With Dual Motor Model, Full Lineup Event Coming Early 2026
Rivian CEO RJ Scaringe just dropped some exciting news during the Q3 2025 earnings call. He confirmed that the first version of the upcoming Rivian R2 will launch as a “well-appointed” Dual Motor model, one that he says will make people happy right out of the gate. Other variants, including higher-performance options, will follow later in 2026.
RJ also revealed that Rivian plans to host a dedicated event in early 2026 to showcase the full R2 lineup, including all trims, features, and configurations. This means we’ll finally get to see the broader R2 family in its final production form before deliveries begin later that year.
This made my day – you’re the absolute best for reporting this news thank you!! Can’t wait to take delivery of R2 next year!
Thank you 🙂
Would R2 be sold in Europe?
R2 is being designed to be sold in overseas markets!
Will there be a truck version of the R2?
Rivian has not announced one but the platform could allow for it.
Going for an R1S test drive tomorrow. What are we thinking delivery will be if I get on the list as late as I am? spring 2027?
