If You Can’t Wait for the Rivian R2, Here Are the Current R1S Deals

What Car Shoppers Need to Know

• Rivian will discontinue the entry-level Dual Standard R1S trim later this year.
• Deals are available on the R1S throughout March.
• Incentives are for buyers and lessees.

The Rivian R2 will go on sale imminently, but if you can’t wait a few months for your new electric vehicle, the automaker is offering deals to buyers and lessees of the larger R1S throughout March.

This might be your last best chance to get a discounted R1S in the entry-level Dual Standard configuration. Rivian announced that it is discontinuing the two-motor, small-battery SUV. (The R1S Dual with the Large and Max batteries, as well as the Tri and Quad R1Ss, will remain available.)

Bonus Cash

• $500 (all R1S configurations)

This offer gives the buyer or lessee of any R1S configuration $500 to apply toward their down payment. It can be combined with other offers and is valid through March 16.

Lease Cash

• $3,000 on R1S Dual Standard; $6,500 on R1S Dual with Large or Max battery and Performance Upgrade

This promotion differs from some lease offers in that the cash is applied toward your down payment. In many other lease promotions, the advertised amount is applied toward the price of the vehicle and any other costs and fees. That type of offer, known as a capitalized cost reduction or cap cost reduction, lowers the amount from which your monthly payments are calculated and therefore lowers the payments themselves. Under the terms of this lease-cash offer, the monthly payments remain the same, but you save the advertised amount on your down payment. This deal is valid through March 19.

Lease Offer

The following lease deal is available nationally on the 2026 R1S Dual Standard through March 19:

• Term: 36 months
• Total mileage allowance: 30,000 miles
• Monthly payment: $749
• Due at signing: $5,644
• Incentives/cash: $3,000 in lease cash

Financing Offer

• 1.99% APR for up to 60 months on any R1S except the Dual Standard

Buyers who finance their purchase through Rivian Financial Services can get a 1.99% interest rate on any R1S except the Dual Standard from now through until March 19. The offer only applies to loans of up to 60 months and is only available to qualified borrowers. This offer cannot be combined with any other incentive.
