Rivian is ringing in spring with an enticing new lease offer for Gen 2 R1 EVs. Through May, customers can lease any Rivian R1 dual-motor EV with a Max battery and performance upgrade for $0 down.

Rivian continues to be a shining star in American EV innovation. Riding the success of its flagship R1 models, the company continues to bolster its manufacturing prowess en route to additional models, including the R2, R3, and R3X.

Now in their second generation, the R1S and R1T have become best sellers, helping fund the company’s progress in building out its R2 assembly lines in Normal, Illinois—a vehicle that has already garnered hundreds of thousands of reservations.

While we await those new Rivian models, we can’t sleep on the current flagships. I lease a Gen 2 R1S and love it. For those interested in leasing an R1 of their own, there is no better time to do so. Today, Rivian announced a new “Nothing But Adventure” lease offer running this entire month, where you can save big bucks on your monthly payment with $0 down.

The American automaker shared details of its latest demand lever today, which applies to any R1 EV with a dual motor configuration, a Max battery pack, and a performance upgrade package. Now through May 31, 2025, Rivian will cover your lease down payment with a $6,500 offer.

Additionally, customers can take advantage of the usual $7,500 EV credit, which is underwritten into each lease for being a BEV manufactured in the US. That mean’s its an additional point of sale bonus without having to wait for a tax credit at the end of the year. score!

So in total, Rivian’s May lease offer can total $14,000 off a new R1 model. That’s huge.

As expected, there is some fine print to be aware of. For example, Rivian leases are not available in all states. The $6,500 lease offer may be combined with the $7,500 EV Lease Credit, but “may not be combined with other public offers unless permitted by Rivian.”

Lease customers must take delivery of their Rivian Dual Max R1S or R1T with a performance upgrade by May 31, 2025, to qualify for the offer. The amount due at signing includes a $500 deposit, first month payment, $895 acquisition fee, and $0 security deposit.
