2026 Rivian R3: Everything You Need To Know

Rivian is set to expand its all-electric lineup with the all-new 2026 Rivian R3. This will be the brand’s newest and smallest offering ever. It takes the Rivian R2’s platform and turns it into a compact SUV about the size of a Volvo EX30.

The 2026 R3 looks more like a lifted hatchback than a typical SUV, thanks to short overhangs and tight packaging, and the Rivian R3’s wheelbase is 5 inches shorter than the R1S, It will also look shorter in overall length than the SUV R2.

Apart from this, the new Rivian R3 will have two battery options, the larger of which will offer a range of over 300 miles and accelerate to 60 mph in less than 3 seconds in its most powerful configuration. Its battery can charge fast from 10% to 80% in less than 30 minutes.

2026 Rivian R3 Redesign

Rivian Motors is introducing the first generation R3 for 2026. From a design standpoint, we expect the 2026 R3 to have a unique exterior design that will look more like an 80s rally-ready hatchback than a traditional SUV.

The new Rivian R3 still has some hallmark Rivian features like a rounded front end, vertically oriented daytime running lights, and horizontal light bars. At the rear, the 2026 R3’s thick C-pillar, heavily sloping rear hatch, large spoiler, and chunky bumper will give it a sportier design than other Rivians.

We also expect Rivian to include many technology features in this upcoming SUV, such as HD Radio, USB Ports, Satellite Radio, Apple CarPlay & Android Auto, Wi-Fi Hotspot, Wireless Charging, and more.

2026 Rivian R3 Interior

On the inside, we expect the new Rivian R3 will have a similar design to other all-electric Rivians. The rounded dashboard has a horizontal air vent that stretches across the entire width of the dash, a prominent central touchscreen, and a small digital instrument cluster hidden in the dash, which looks like the R3 is made of premium materials, and the EV has sportier-looking seats than other Rivians. 

Rivian Motors has not yet confirmed the technical specifications for the 2026 R3. Based on the pictures, the EV is expected to have a large central touchscreen and a small digital instrument cluster and will have a Wi-Fi hotspot, navigation, a wireless charging pad, and Amazon Alexa.

Apart from this, it will include many safety features like multiple airbags, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, lane-keeping assistance, adaptive cruise control, dynamic radar cruise control, automatic high beam, blind-spot monitoring, and a 360-degree camera system.
