The Rivian R2 is finally a real vehicle you can dig into, not just a concept. Pricing is public, the trims have names, early Performance Launch trucks are on the road, and comparing Standard, Premium, and Performance still means a lot of tab-switching.
So we built something simpler for Electron Motion readers: a single R2 cheat sheet that puts the lineup side by side, color-coded by trim, and grouped by what you actually care about when you compare or configure one.

What’s on the sheet
The layout follows how people shop an EV, not how a press release is written:
- Overview / pricing: starting prices by trim, destination fee, base battery note, and Launch Package context
- Energy and powertrain: range, the 87.9 kWh battery pack, cell type, fast charging, the charge port, cooling and heat pump details, onboard power electronics, highway and road-trip numbers, motors, and the 12V battery basics we can confirm
- Drive and dynamics: horsepower, torque, 0–60, towing, payload, ground clearance, size, cargo, and drive modes
- Cabin and experience: wheels, lights, rear glass, Torch, interiors, seats, audio, and Autonomy+
- Trim snapshot: Standard, Premium, and Performance at a glance
Trim values sit in three fixed columns with a simple color key (blue, mint, Rivian yellow) so you can see what changes without re-reading the headers every time.
A few R2 numbers worth knowing
Without spoiling the whole sheet:
- From $44,990 / $48,490 Standard, $53,990 Premium, $57,990 Performance (plus $1,495 destination)
- About 275–345 miles of EPA range on Standard (depends on battery option), and 330 miles on Premium and Performance
- 350 / 450 / 656 horsepower and 5.9 / 4.6 / 3.6 second 0–60 times by trim
- A structural battery pack with 4695 cylindrical cells, roughly a 400-volt system, a NACS port, and peak DC charging around 227 kW with up to a 650 amp request
- Early Performance testing also includes real highway efficiency and a roughly 93-mile figure after a 15-minute DC stop, which is handy context next to the EPA labels
Built for readers (and search engines)
This is not a flat screenshot. The cheat sheet is a real web page with clear headings, a layout that works for keyboard and screen-reader users, and structured data so Google and answer tools can make sense of the R2 lineup, not just index an image.
There is also a referral code button at the top (JOEL14541015). Referral links still do not apply cleanly to R2 checkout, so the button simply copies the code when you need it. No broken configure links.
How to use it
- Open the sheet and start with the trim color key (Standard, Premium, Performance).
- Go to Energy and powertrain if range and charging matter most.
- Use Drive and dynamics for tow, power, and modes, and Cabin for wheels, comfort, and audio.
- Finish on the trim snapshot when you want the short three-column summary.

Specs change. Rivian will keep updating software, options, and availability, so treat the sheet as a living comparison tool, not a contract. We will refresh it as cleaner official numbers and owner data come in.
