RIVIAN R2 FULL TOUR: INTERIOR + EXTERIOR DETAILED LOOK, NACS PORT, SOFTWARE, & R1S SIZE COMPARISON

EV Channels Review

The Rivian R2 presents a compelling package, aiming to capture the midsize SUV market with a starting price of $45,000. The design retains Rivian's signature aesthetic, scaled down from the R1S, and introduces the NACS port natively. Key interior highlights include innovative haptic scroll wheels on the steering wheel, a massive glass roof, and a spacious cabin that feels airy and premium, comparable to its larger siblings. The rear cargo area offers versatility with a drop-down glass and a tailgate-like shelf. While the prototype showcased impressive materials and software, potential buyers should note that final production details, including exact range figures for all variants and potential price increases, are still to be confirmed. The reviewer expresses optimism about its potential to compete with vehicles like the Tesla Model Y, praising its design, potential performance, and Rivian's commitment to software updates, while also suggesting improvements like rear HVAC vents and a rear wiper (which Rivian confirmed will be included).
