Rivian Model Comparison: Price, Performance, Dimensions & Charging
Rivian has quite a lineup of vehicles, with some available now, and some coming soon – so let’s take a look at their list of models and see what you get with each one.
Rivian currently has the following vehicles in their lineup, and only the R1T, R1S, and EDV/RCV (commercial vans) are available to purchase today. We won’t be covering the Commercial Delivery Van (EDV) as Rivian intends to only ship this to large fleet customers like Amazon, but will be covering the soon-to-be-available Rivian Commercial Van (RCV) instead.
R1T – a mid-sized, light-duty pickup truck designed around adventuring.
R1S – an SUV based on the R1T, the R1S is a full-size SUV with three rows of seating
R2 – The R2 is Rivian’s upcoming mid-size SUV.
R3 – The R3 is based on the same platform as the R2, but it’s a smaller crossover.
R3X – A performance variant of the R3.
RCV – Rivian Commercial Van — available to fleet customers for mid-range deliveries.
EDV – Rivian’s original commercial van — only available to Amazon and other large-fleet customers.
Prices
Let’s take a look at the starting prices for each vehicle.
Vehicle | Price (USD) | Price (CAD) |
|---|---|---|
R1T | $69,990 | $105,800 |
R1S | $75,900 | $111,900 |
R2* | ~$45,000 | ~$61,500 |
R3 | Unannounced | Unannounced |
R3X | Unannounced | Unannounced |
RCV 500** | $83,000 | $113,500 |
RCV 700** | $87,000 | $119,000 |
*The price for the R2 is not confirmed, but Rivian says it’ll start around $45,000 USD.
**Pricing for the RCVs must be confirmed through Rivian Fleet Sales, this is an estimate provided by third-party sources.
For the vehicles currently available – the R1T and the R1S, they’re well in the premium pricing category. Fully loading them with options will bring those prices closer to $101,700 USD for the R1T and $108,900 USD for the R1S. Rivian intends to appeal to a larger customer base with its upcoming R2 and R3/R3X, which will be arriving sometime in 2026.
Range and Acceleration
Rivian provides several configurations for its R1 series vehicles, so we’ve provided the EPA estimated range and acceleration in the tables below.
Vehicle / Battery | Range | Acceleration (0-60 mph) |
|---|---|---|
R1S / R1T Dual Standard | 270 mi | 4.6s |
R1S / R1T Dual Large | 330 mi | 3.5s |
R1S / R1T Dual Max | 420 mi | 3.5s |
R1S / R1T Tri Max | 371 mi (405 mi in Conserve) | 3.1s |
R1T Quad Max* | Not Rated | 2.6s |
R1S Quad Max* | Not Rated | 2.7s |
R2 Standard** | Not Rated | Not Rated |
R2 Large** | 300 mi | >3s |
RCV 500*** | 161 mi | Not Rated |
RCV 700*** | 153 mi | Not Rated |
* The R1T and R1S Quad Max haven’t been given EPA range ratings at this time, however we expect them to be in the 350 mi range.
** R2 ranges and acceleration are currently estimates.
*** Rivian has kept the motor information for the new RCVs under wraps, but we expect it to be slower than the R1 series, as all variants are FWD only.
Charge Ports
Rivian was one of the first manufacturers to support NACS (North American Charging Standard) from Tesla, and all current R1T and R1S vehicles are NACS capable with an adapter or using Tesla’s Magic Dock Superchargers.
Going forward, Rivian intends to move all its consumer vehicles to the NACS port, including the R1S and R1T sometime next year. Rivian announced this summer that The R2’s charge port will be moved to the rear driver’s side. This will make it seamless for these vehicles to use Tesla’s Superchargers.
Vehicle | Port Type & Location |
|---|---|
R1T | CCS, Front Left |
R1S | CCS, Front Left |
R2 | NACS, Rear Left |
R3 / R3X | NACS, Rear Left |
RCV* | CCS (NACS unconfirmed), Front Left |
*The only vehicle without confirmed NACS functionality is the upcoming RCV.
We haven’t heard yet whether the RCV will arrive with NACS or NACS compatibility, but the demonstration vehicles so far have only had CCS ports on the front left of the vehicle. The RCVs are expected to be NACS compatible, regardless of the port type.
Vehicle Dimensions
Vehicle Dimensions are available for most of Rivian’s fleet, except for the R3 and R3X.
