Ever wondered what it’s like to drive an SUV that hauls weekend camping gear and outpaces sports cars? I just tested the 2027 Rivian R2—and it’s a total game-changer. The Performance trim has 656 hp, hitting 0-60 mph in 3.6s and 50-70 mph in 1.55s. Starting at $48,490, it’s far more accessible than Rivian’s premium R1 models. It boasts a polished interior, retro off-roader styling, and up to 330 miles of range. If you could take it for a spin, would you test bumpy trails or a highway sprint first?
