The Rivian R2 is too much fun to let drive itself

The 2027 Rivian R2 represents a strategic move toward mainstream success following the cult status of the R1S and R1T. As the company's first mid-size offering, this electric SUV is described as smooth, comfortable, and capable, providing significant range and power. While Rivian pursues autonomy and robotaxis, the R2 focuses on winning over human drivers. Although not perfect, the latest model is regarded as the company's best SUV yet, signaling its commitment to the market.
