This is the new 2026 Rivian R2 and it’s a huge deal. The Rivian R2 takes everything we love about the R1S SUV and scales it down to a smaller size with a more affordable price. I think this will be a big hit, despite the slowing demand for EVs. Today I’m reviewing the new R2 and I’ll show you the many quirks and features. I’m also going to get behind the wheel and show you what it’s like to drive.
