Rivian 将于 6 月 9 日交付首批 R2 SUV

Rivian has finally revealed that the first customers of the company’s new R2 SUV will get their vehicles on June 9. Rivian 终于宣布,公司新款 R2 SUV 的首批客户将于 6 月 9 日收到他们的车辆。

The automaker has spent the last few months ramping up its efforts to release the R2, which is more affordable and aimed at a larger market than its current R1 lineup. 过去几个月里,这家汽车制造商一直在加紧努力推出 R2。与现有的 R1 系列相比,R2 价格更亲民,目标市场也更广阔。

The new SUV will initially be available in a trim that starts just under $60,000, though Rivian has announced plans to release a “standard” version that starts at $48,490 in 2027. 这款新 SUV 最初将提供起售价略低于 60,000 美元的配置版本,不过 Rivian 已宣布计划在 2027 年推出起售价为 48,490 美元的“标准”版本。

The company has teased an even more affordable version “starting around $45,000” late next year — a price tag Rivian has promoted since the R2 reveal in 2024. 该公司还预告了将于明年晚些时候推出一款“起价约 45,000 美元”的更实惠版本——这也是 Rivian 自 2024 年 R2 发布以来一直宣传的价格标签。

Rivian has high expectations for the R2. Founder and CEO RJ Scaringe has said it is “maybe the most important thing we’ve launched to date.” Rivian 对 R2 寄予厚望。创始人兼首席执行官 RJ Scaringe 表示,这“可能是我们迄今为止发布的最重要的产品”。

The company is betting on an extremely fast ramp-up, with as many as 25,000 vehicles delivered by the end of this year. 该公司正押注于极速的产能爬坡,目标是在今年年底前交付多达 25,000 辆汽车。

Ultimately, Rivian hopes the R2 and its hatchback sibling, the R3, will help the company turn a profit for the first time since its founding in 2009. 最终,Rivian 希望 R2 及其掀背式兄弟车型 R3 能帮助公司实现自 2009 年成立以来的首次盈利。
