The Rivian R6 is an upcoming compact electric pickup truck that blends Rivian’s adventurous DNA with a smaller, more affordable design compared to the R1T. Expected to arrive by 2026, it will offer dual- and quad-motor options, versatile off-road capabilities, and modern EV tech at a more accessible price point.

Rivian R6Overview
The Rivian R6 represents
Rivian’s move into the compact EV pickup
segment, designed for buyers who want the rugged versatility of the
R1T but in a more affordable, city-friendly
package. Built on Rivian’s new midsize platform (shared with the R2
SUV), the R6 is expected to come with multiple motor configurations (including
dual- and quad-motor), offering between 400–600
horsepower and up to 350 miles
of range depending on battery choice.
With a smaller
footprint than the R1T, the R6 will be easier to maneuver in urban
environments while still retaining off-road capability thanks to adjustable air
suspension and Rivian’s advanced Driver+ system. Like its larger siblings, the
R6 will feature a front trunk (frunk),
a versatile pickup bed, over-the-air software updates, and compatibility with
Tesla’s NACS Supercharger network.
Positioned with a starting price around $45,000, the Rivian R6 is expected to rival the Tesla Cybertruck (base trims), Ford Maverick Lightning (future EV variant), and Chevrolet Silverado EV compact versions—making it one of the most affordable adventure EV pickups on the market.
