Rivian Holds Autonomy+ at $2,500 for 2027 R1 Models as Lease Costs Rise $100

Summary

  • $2,500 remains the one-time price for Rivian’s Autonomy+ package on every 2027 R1T and R1S configuration, with the $49.99 monthly option and $15 Connect+ fee also unchanged.
  • RJ Scaringe said two weeks ago Rivian can raise autonomy pricing only after it “earns” it through added capability, and point-to-point driving is still slated to start rolling out by year-end.
  • Current paid features are limited to Universal Hands-Free and Lane Change on Command; Auto Parking and On-Ramp to Off-Ramp are listed for 2026, while eyes-off operation is targeted for 2027 on later hardware.
  • The price hold stands out because 2027 R1 lease quotes rose $100 a month across the lineup—an extra $3,600 over 36 months—even as base sticker prices stayed flat in this report.
