The new ‘Rivian Rex’ will face machines like the upcoming Hyundai ioniq 5 XRT
- Rivian previews the R3X electric car
- It takes the form of a rally hatch from the ‘80s
- No word yet on pricing of this Rivian model
More importantly, it’ll pack a trio of electric motors – at least as an option. Details of the Rivian Rex are scant but we do know the regular R3 seems primed for production given the official photos floating around in addition to the looks-ready vehicle shown at the car’s introduction last year. A close look at the R3X interior shows the team’s desire to infuse this thing with entertaining details such as all-terrain and rally drive modes, the latter of which could certainly produce lurid tail-out slides given the available tri-motor setup. At its introduction, top boss RJ Scaringe mentioned a dual motor variant is also on the table.
