What's the point of bringing a review on a base model car, which is irrelevant to this thread or this discussion? Let alone this video is 3 days old so this isn't even a breaking news.

But if you feel like this would validate your existence then -- you are successful here. Good job

No one forced you to look at it. And scroll back. R5 was talked about. If you feel like you have to appoint yourself forum moderator, to justify your existence... that's pretty pathetic. But good for you!

i would consider this Renault a competitor to the Rivian R3X, but a direct competitor. The main difference is price with rumors flying that it is going to be €140,000. What do you get for that kind of money? 2 motor Rear drive for 540hp. It features in hub motors which is interesting. The body is stripped out for racing and features a roll cage.

Rivian really needs to fast track production for the EU because the R3X will be a smash hit there If priced anywhere south of €70,000. Because I have a feeling the tri’motor R3X will be able to beat out this new Renault in performance despite it’s road focus and larger size.

The R5 Turbo 3E is going to be a GLORIOUS car, and I'd buy one instantly if I was in Europe and could get an allocation. The Rivian R3X - which in my head is wrapped with Martini livery like an 80s Lancia rally car by the way - is certainly more than a little similar to the Renault, but not as bonkers and definitely not as collectible. So maybe some of us who miss out on getting a Turbo 3E can console themselves by getting an R3X... and then getting it wrapped like an 80s rally car.

If I could buy one here, I would. If I can figure out how to get one here from Europe, I'd might try. I imported a few gray market cars and motorcycles in the past. Only real issue would be if it broke. Might need to find away around the map issues that often pop up too. I wouldn't road trip it so I could just use carplay anyway.

Sorry to be a downer, but I don’t think the R3 will be out in the US until 2028 at the earliest. It depends on a lot of factors, like how well the R2 sells, ramping up the R2, adding more service centers throughout the US, the development and completion of the Georgia plant, etc.

I’d say the R3 might make it to the EU by the 2030’s. They’ll definitely be pushing the R2 before that. It’s been designed with European standards in mind.

As much as I’d like the R3 to be fast tracked it’s definitely just a prototype vehicle right now. I just hope it makes it to production.

I love the R3X and I can’t wait for it to arrive (actually I can because I’m on a lease until 2028), but Rivian needs to release the R2, ramp up production, build the Georgia Plant, release the R3, ramp up production again for that vehicle, all while increasing their charging infrastructure and service centers in the US without going bankrupt (VW money is helping to prevent that).

In 2024, Renault Group produced a total of 2,264,815 vehicles worldwide. Rivian, on the other hand, is still a startup only making around 50,000 vehicles a year. I know they’ll make it because they have great products and an excellent ethos, but it’s going to take a while. Maybe they’ll start exporting the R2 and R3 to Europe by 2030? They can’t ramp production into the 100s of thousands without the Georgia plant.
