Rivian's upcoming R2 SUV has received EPA certification with a range of 335 miles on 21-inch wheels, slightly exceeding initial estimates. The range drops to 314 miles with all-terrain 20-inch tires due to increased drag. Pricing starts at $57,990 for the Performance trim, with a more affordable variant coming later.
