promises to be a funky, all-electric adventure SUV that’s a skosh smaller than its larger siblings but still packed with potential. And, yes, it wears the same basic wide-LED-lit happy face as those R1 models., we poked around the new R2 to see how the packaging magic we’ve come to expect from the startup automaker applies here.
However, the screens in the R2 do look noticeably crisper, more colorful, and have higher contrast. This is because they’re now, and this helps them look a lot more robust. You can see the R2’s infotainment screen closer up below:A point of frustration for some R1 owners was the vehicles’ lack of a glovebox. There are plenty of cubbies, for sure, but sometimes you just want a traditional glovebox, too, for some hidden, out-of-the-way storage.
gloveboxes. Simply press on a dashboard indentation and they fold right down. They’re quite spacious and wide, with the passenger one having an attached elastic band for additional security.Like in the R1s, the R2 has a front trunk in addition to its rear cargo area, and both trunk floors pull up for some extra storage space. You could fit charge cables there, towels, tools—really anything that takes your fancy.
Of course, the space is also good if you need to haul something particularly large. The big windows seem especially airy without any seats in the way.Tucked into the passenger door, where other Rivians' flashlights usually are, is a device charger. Hook up your batteries, phones, whatever you want to it. It’s probably really useful for when you’re out in the wilderness and forgot to pack your power brick.
The R2 is the first vehicle Rivian plans to go global with, so that’s why its charge port is located by the rear passenger wheel arch; it’s for all the streetside public chargers prevalent in other countries. As the automaker’s soon-to-be volume seller, the R2 is already a very compelling value proposition, starting at a claimed $45,000. If Rivian has its way , we could very well start seeing these things everywhere in a couple of years.
