The 2027 Rivian R2 is expected to be released this year with a price under $60,000 and four models to choose from. However, there is uncertainty about the timing and pricing of the base model, with some reports indicating it will be available later in 2027 for around $45,000 to $46,495. The Rivian R2 configurator is now live, allowing customers to explore options and pricing for the vehicle.
