Is Rivian working on a new flagship EV based on the R1 platform? And maybe more importantly, who would buy it?
Rivian has trademarked the “R1X” name, leading some to believe that a flagship performance EV is in the works, much like the R3X that debuted earlier this month will be a souped-up version of the upcoming R3 crossover. A user of the Rivian Owners forum stumbled upon the trademark filing with the United States Patent and Trademark Office , but a closer look at the document reveals that the R1X name isn’t something that came out of the blue.
However, even with the recent debut of the R3X high-riding crossover that will probably go into production in 2027, there’s no guarantee that the R1X will see the light of day as a real vehicle. It wouldn’t be the first or the last time a manufacturer secured a trademark or patent that got stuck in the back corner of the archives, never to become anything more than a document collecting dust.
