Rivian, the American EV startup, is currently offering a lucrative lease rebate of up to $6,500 for select models, but there’s a catch. The offer is only valid for customers who take delivery of their new R1S or R1T vehicles by October 31. However, not all vehicle configurations are eligible for this discount, with the quad-motor version notably absent from the promotion.
In addition to the lease rebate, Rivian is also cutting $2,000 off the price of its All-Terrain Package for customers who purchase a new 2025 R1S or R1T by the end of this month. The package, which typically costs between $3,700 and $5,700, includes features like all-terrain tires, a spare tire, a reinforced underbody shield, and extra driving modes.
The most significant rebate of $6,500 applies to specific configurations of the 2025 R1S and R1T, including the tri-motor, the dual-motor with the Max battery pack and Performance Upgrade, and the dual-motor with the Large battery and Performance Upgrade. Unfortunately, the entry-level Dual version with the Standard battery pack and the top-spec Quad variant do not qualify for any discounts.
For those interested in leasing, the 2026 R1S or R1T with the tri-motor configuration is eligible for a $6,000 rebate, while the dual-motor with the Max battery and Performance Upgrade can get a $5,000 lease bonus. It’s important to note that these offers are only available for leases, not cash purchases.
Despite the expiration of the $7,500 federal tax credit for new electric cars, Rivian’s rebates provide an excellent opportunity for potential buyers to save on these high-end electric vehicles. The most affordable model eligible for the rebate is the Rivian R1T Dual with the Large battery and Performance Upgrade, priced at $82,990 before the destination charge. With the $6,500 rebate, the effective price drops to $76,490.
Overall, Rivian’s current offers present a compelling opportunity for individuals interested in leasing a cutting-edge electric vehicle with impressive capabilities. Make sure to take advantage of these discounts before the end of October to secure significant savings on a new R1S or R1T from Rivian.
