# Rivian opens R2 configurator: here are all the options and pricing

Rivian has opened the online configurator for the R2, its critical mid-size electric SUV, giving reservation holders their first chance to spec out the vehicle ahead of deliveries. The Performance trim starts at $57,990 — just under Tesla’s Model Y Performance at $58,880.

The configurator launch comes ahead of Rivian’s previously communicated June timeline, signaling confidence in the R2 production ramp at its Normal, Illinois factory.

The R2 is the most important vehicle in Rivian’s lineup. While the R1S and R1T established the brand, they were always too expensive to move the kind of volume Rivian needs to reach profitability. The R2 changes that equation, and the configurator gives us our first detailed look at exactly what buyers will get — and what they’ll pay.

## Three trims, staggered availability

Rivian is rolling out the R2 in three trims, but only one is available to configure right now:
