Rivian teases the R2 SUV again before the March 7 reveal. A Rivian owner finds key specs on the R2 site, like a $47,500 price and 330-mile range.
R2 reveal is but a day away, with a few teasers and a smattering of the debut thunder escaping from the Laguna Beach extravaganza before the appointed time. First, the official stuff: Rivian posted a shot of the R2's rear left corner on X not long ago, the R1 Junior looking exactly like dad.
The dimensions were given as 185.6 inches long, 75 inches wide and 66.9 inches high on a 115.6-inch wheelbase, with 9.8 inches of ground clearance sitting on 32-inch tires. These stats make the R2 15.2 inches shorter than the R1S and 6.8 inches narrower. Rivian lists R1S height including the antenna, we're not sure if that's the case with the R2; as written, the R2's roof sits a whole 10.4 inches lower than that of the R1S, which isn't impossible but seems a bit extreme.
Rivian being all about adventure, the R2 gets off-road specs, too: 25-degree approach angle, 27-degree departure angle. We look forward to finding out what's going on with the overhangs on the new ride, the R2 10.6 degrees worse on approach than the R1S and 7.3 degrees worse on departure. Minimum approach and departure angles for the Jeep Wrangler are 41.4 degrees and 35.9 degrees, respectively.
