The length, width and height of the new car are 4715/2144/1700mm, and the wheelbase is 2935mm.
In terms of interior, RIVIAN R2 adopts a minimalist design style similar to Tesla, equipped with an in-line LCD instrument panel and a large-size central control screen. It is worth mentioning that all seats in the car can be folded flat, which also provides users with more space.
In terms of power, RIVIAN R2 will be available in three versions: single motor, dual motor, and triple motor (specific parameters have not been disclosed). Officials stated that the new car can accelerate from 0-96km/h in less than 3 seconds and has a cruising range of up to 300 miles (483km).
