Rivian had something extra at the R2 reveal today. Here's what we know about its new compact entry-level vehicle.
It turns out the folks at Rivian had more in store for EV fans everywhere than just the Rivian R2 that debuted in California today. Meet the Rivian R3, an even smaller, more affordable compact crossover that's going to take the electric vehicle startup brand to new heights in the coming years. 'It takes the package of R2, and the platform, and shrinks it,' CEO RJ Scaringe said during the car's unveiling today. 'It puts it into our take on a crossover.
Both vehicles will be able to use Combined Charging System plugs with an adapter. All are said to go from a 10% charge to 80% in less than 30 minutes. Additionally, the R3 'will provide dramatically enhanced autonomous capabilities' thanks to Rivian's five-radar, 11-camera automated driving assistance setup. Scaringe added that the R3 won't skimp on the adventure vibes that made the bigger SUVs and trucks more famous.
