Rivian's upcoming 2027 R3 marks its smallest SUV yet, boasting a tall hatchback design with robust tires and raised ground clearance. While specifics remain unclear, Rivian unveiled that the R3 will share a platform with the compact R2 SUV, and will introduce a performance-focused R3X variant. Expectations include single, dual, and tri-motor setups, coupled with two battery size options, with the larger one promising a range exceeding 300 miles.
Having made a significant impact with its R1S and R1T models on American roads, Rivian is now directing its attention toward a new SUV named R2. This smaller and more affordable model is positioned to broaden its appeal. Comparable in size to compact crossovers like the BMW X3 and the Hyundai Tucson, the R2 enters the market with a $45,000 starting price and an electric powertrain, placing it in the same category as the Ford Mustang Mach E and the Tesla Model Y.
