The pickup was the first to launch on the market last fall, while the SUV made its debut this year. And now we're finally getting a first peek at the next new model in line. Rivian CEO RJ Scaringe and design head Jeff Hammoud showed off a clay model of the R2, hidden under a tarpaulin. That doesn't tell us much, but it's encouraging for what's to come because it confirms the company is making progress with the development of another model.
As we've seen with many start-up companies, as well as with the electric strategy of well-known manufacturers, the first models to appear are larger, more expensive models, with more affordable vehicles following after. The future R2S will likely be just that, a cheaper option – though how affordable it will be exactly remains to be seen. The base price of the R1T pickup is $98,500 in Canada, while that of the R1S SUV is $105,250.
