Rivian R2 Specs Leaked
Rivian R2's performance AWD model leaked: 656hp/609 lb-ft torque, 88kWh battery (330-mile range), priced at $57,990 Performance AWD. Cheaper models coming too.
The R2's leaked specs position it as a direct competitor to the Tesla Model 3 Performance, but with a larger battery and SUV form factor. The price point undercuts some of the higher-end Model 3 configurations, potentially drawing buyers looking for more space and off-road capability. Rivian's stock price might see a boost if the official unveiling confirms these specs and the company can meet production targets. Pre-orders could surge, stressing Rivian's manufacturing capacity, which has been a challenge in the past. The 330-mile range is a key selling point, addressing range anxiety concerns among potential EV buyers. This range, combined with the performance figures, suggests Rivian is targeting a sweet spot in the electric SUV market.
