The Rivian R2 has been reviewed in its first drive, with some outlets praising it as a top choice for many people and possibly Rivian's best SUV yet. The R2 is expected to rival the Tesla Model Y and its price is reportedly near $60,000 at launch, although the base trim is not due until late 2027. The exact release timeline and pricing for all trims and model years, including 2028, are not entirely clear.
