Overview
- Rivian switched on the R2 online configurator Friday, opening orders only for the $57,990 Performance Launch Edition rated at 656 hp with up to 330 miles of range.
- The R2 Premium at $53,990 is shown for late 2026 delivery, while the $48,490 Standard follows in 2027 to keep early average selling prices higher during the ramp.
- The Launch Package adds Autonomy+ hands‑free driving, a 4,400‑pound tow kit, and a special green key fob, with Autonomy+ priced at $49.99 per month or $2,500 after the launch run.
- Option pricing is now public, with most paint and wheel upgrades at $1,000 to $2,000, a $1,000 Coastal Cloud interior, and a new in‑house screen protector listed at $65.
- Volume production began April 22 in Normal, Illinois, with employee units built first and external deliveries expected by late spring as Rivian targets 20,000 to 25,000 R2s in 2026.
