So, do you know Rivian? No, it’s not the latest high-tech gadget or a new Netflix series, but rather the kind of brand that makes electric vehicle fans dream without necessarily overshadowing our dear Elon Musk and his Tesla empire. But beware, Rivian is not here to play a minor role.
Introducing the Rivian R3 and R3X
Imagine this: you are quietly sipping your coffee, when suddenly, two neo-retro styled electric vehicles arrive on the European market. And there, surprise, it is not the work of Tesla, but of Rivian, the rising American outsider. With its two new models, the R3 and R3X, Rivian promises to revolutionize our way of seeing the electric.
The R3 is a bit like the Swiss Army knife of the electric: compact, stylish and ready to tackle the narrow streets of our European cities. Whereas the R3X, with its rally look, seems to say: “Hold on, it’s going to be a thrilling ride!”
A really nice style
What if I told you that from the side, the R3 has airs of Lada Niva? Yes, you read that right. This little nod to the past might just be the little extra that will charm nostalgics and car design enthusiasts. A way of saying: “We respect the classics while embracing the future”?
Prices announced as affordable, autonomy of over 500 km, and a small sense of déjà vu that does not displease, the R3 and R3X have everything to please. But patience is needed as their arrival on our shores isn’t planned until 2026 or 2027. Until then, we have time to dream and save.
Rivian is coming… but be patient!
Rivian is preparing to land in Europe with a bold proposal that could well shake up the market. With sleekly designed electric vehicles and top-notch performances, the American brand has a lot to offer. So, Tesla, is it time to look in the rear-view mirror?
That’s a quick overview of what Rivian has in store for us. With a touch of lightness and a hint of humor, we are waiting to see how these new models will integrate into the European automotive landscape. Heat up the popcorn, the race to electric is just beginning!
