The Rivian R2 is one of the most important electric SUVs coming to market, but it is not just competing with the Tesla Model Y. Depending on the trim, the Rivian R2 is going up against mainstream EVs like the Chevy Equinox EV, Hyundai IONIQ 5, Kia EV6, and Ford Mustang Mach-E, while the higher trims start getting close to premium and luxury EVs like the Genesis GV60, Cadillac Optiq, BMW iX3, Volvo EX60, Polestar 4, and Audi Q6 e-tron.

In this video, I break down the Rivian R2 Standard Long Range, Rivian R2 Premium, and Rivian R2 Performance to see which trim makes the most sense. The R2 Standard competes with mainstream electric SUVs, the R2 Premium may be the sweet spot, and the R2 Performance starts pushing into luxury EV territory.

We compare the Rivian R2 against the competition using the specs that matter most: price, range, horsepower, 0–60 performance, charging speed, NACS, Tesla Supercharger access, Plug & Charge, Rivian Adventure Network, cargo space, frunk storage, ground clearance, towing, driver display, Haptic Halo Wheels, driver assistance, interior quality, and overall value.

Tesla may still have the charging polish. Chevy may have the value. Hyundai and Kia may charge faster. BMW may have the range. Volvo may bring the luxury. But does the Rivian R2 offer the best overall electric SUV package for the money?

If you are cross-shopping the Rivian R2 vs Tesla Model Y, Rivian R2 vs Chevy Equinox EV, Rivian R2 vs Hyundai IONIQ 5, Rivian R2 vs Kia EV6, Rivian R2 vs Ford Mustang Mach-E, Rivian R2 vs BMW iX3, or Rivian R2 vs Volvo EX60, this video will help you decide which EV SUV makes the most sense.

Which Rivian R2 would you buy — Standard Long Range, Premium, or Performance — and what electric SUV would you cross-shop it against? Let me know in the comments.
