Meet the 2027 Rivian R2—this compact SUV is built for everyday adventurers, starting under $47k (way cheaper than R1 models). The Performance trim I tested boasts 656 hp, hits 0-60 mph in 3.6 seconds, and offers up to 330 miles of range.

Shorter, narrower and lower than the R1S, it uses steel coils (9.6-inch ground clearance) for light trails, not extreme off-roading. Inside, it’s R1-like: 15.6-inch screen, hands-free driving tech, and costs half as much to build.

Would you swap R1’s off-road grit for R2’s wallet-friendly, city-ready charm? Let me know!
