For anyone wanting Rivian’s Electric Upgrade Offer, potential customers need to meet a handful of requirements. To begin with, users won’t be able to trade in any old ICE car in their garage for a new Rivian R1 vehicle. In fact, all vehicles that qualify for this trade-in happen to be SUVs that were manufactured in 2018 or later — and, in some way, compete against Rivian’s existing SUV offerings.
Among the cars that are eligible for this include the Ford F-150, Ford Explorer, Ford Expedition, and the Ford Bronco (the Ford Bronco Sport doesn’t qualify). If you are a Toyota person, these are the cars that qualify for the trade-in: Toyota Tacoma, Toyota Tundra, Toyota Highlander, and the Toyota 4Runner. Three models from Jeep are also eligible for this offer: the Jeep Grand Cherokee, Jeep Wrangler, and the Jeep Gladiator. Rivian has also included three models each from Audi and BMW, including the Audi Q5, Q7, and Q8, as well as the BMW X3, X5, and the X7.
Also pertinent to note that only select trims of the Rivian R1T and the Rivian R1S are eligible for this trade in offer. These qualifying models and the maximum trade-in discount they would be eligible for are as follows. The Rivian R1T Max Pack qualifies for the largest discount, with buyers getting up to $5,000 off upon trade-in. With a potential $4,000 discount, the Rivian R1T Large Pack also gets a significant discount. Two models qualify for up to a $3,000 discount: the Rivian R1T Standard, and the Standard+ Pack. The lowest discount of $1,000 is applicable on the Rivian R1S Large Pack.
