Rivian unveiled its latest electric models at an event today. The affordable R2 and R3 / R3X models were introduced. What does the Rivian R3, for which the company has adopted a new design and engine, promise?
What does Rivian R3 / R3X offer?
The R3 is presented as an electric option for the compact crossover segment. In terms of powertrain, it follows the R2 with a single, twin or three-motor configuration. This means it will appeal to a wide range of customers, from efficiency to performance enthusiasts.
Rivian has also introduced the R3X model for the off-road experience. With a standard three-motor powertrain, it promises a sportier experience with larger wheels and increased ground clearance.
New information has emerged for Apple's recently canceled electric vehicle project Apple Car, which surprised those who heard it.
Rivian has announced that the new R3 models will use the Tesla charging standard (NCSS). This will give it access to a wide fast charging network.
Pricing for the R3 has not been announced, but it is expected to be below the R2’s price of $45,000. Delivery of the R2 is scheduled to start in 2026, which suggests that the R3 could arrive later.
