Scheduled to hit the market in 2026, the R2 aims to make Rivians more affordable to a broader range of drivers - although whether they'll uphold that $45,000 promise, remains to be seen

It's been a long time in the making, but Rivian has finally taken the covers off its vitally important R2 crossover. Smaller than the R1S in both scale and cost, the new vehicle promises to play a big part in helping the troubled startup gain sales momentum thanks to a proposed starting price of $45,000. While that's about $2,000 more than the Tesla Model Y, it will be much more affordable than Rivian's current SUV, the R1S, which kicks off at $74,900.

Equipped with 11 cameras and five radar sensors, Scaringe claims that R2 drivers will be able to take their hands off the wheel and their eyes off the road, suggesting that it will be a level 3 autonomous system, like Mercedes' DrivePilot system. With their hands back on the wheel, drivers will be able to control several aspects of the vehicle with thumb scrollers.
