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.

I think the wrap is pretty cool and hope they leave it as an option
Wow that's fugly!!!
Electronic door handles… Just what you want when you crash and the car starts to catch fire. Hard pass from me.
What’s the range??
roll down rear window – John Wick would approve
Dyson air fan headlights 😮
His voice is the younger version of David Attenborough of Planet earch.
Buick had climate controls on the steering wheel 25 years ago
Deal breaker. I would buy it wrapped. Sorry rivian
@MrBodenbean, good vanity plate idea…
R2D2 4US
R2D2 4ME
R2 N C3PO
R2 FORCE
…
It will never hit the streets under $50k base. Nice video
EV? Not interested …
We would like to see doug reviewing indian cars like mahindra be6.its very quirky and interesting car
I need this with a turbo 6 and awd
Two glove boxes , I salute the Rivian design team. Well done , class job. A vehicle for peopled needs . Job done.
$15/month in order to use their wonderful native software for music and GPS because they refuse to offer CarPlay. Stupid move
The R2…Innovation that’s also useful for people and cargo mobility!
How will it sell in Europe without some physical switches on the dash.
Won't sell in China with those external/internal door handles
Amazing!
Hi, just wondering why in every shot you’re always hunched over or kneeling on the ground or stood way back in the video shot to make yourself look smaller. I don’t know how tall you are, but it seems like you’re intentionally trying to make the car look bigger than it is.
Damn, unibody is a shame. Great otherwise.
8:41 Solved the maze
Doug is the kind of guy to review stuff
No mention of off road capabilities or did I miss it?
good. i hope rivian does well and can continue making vehicles. im still waiting on the r3x
Over time this will propably replace R1 just like the Model 3 did to Model S (and Y to X) 😉
