Rivian R3X: The Performance Off-Road Variant

Shown alongside the R3, the R3X is a hotter, more capable version that drew enthusiastic reactions for its rally-inspired attitude. It adds a more aggressive stance, enhanced off-road and performance hardware, and unique styling touches that emphasize its adventurous intent.

Built on the same compact platform as the R3, the R3X is expected to feature tri-motor all-wheel drive for strong performance both on pavement and off the beaten path. It channels the spirit of classic rally homologation specials into a modern electric package.
