R2: Hitting the Pavement by Rivian – Rivian Stories

The R2 is built for the big trips, but it’s perfected for the “everyday” adventures. During the drive, we focused on the details that make this vehicle uniquely Rivian.
Inside, the R2 is a masterclass in thoughtful utility. Our media in attendance were quick to notice that there are “no bad seats”—in fact, optimized packaging means the R2 offers more second-row legroom than the R1S.
We’ve maximized every square inch for real life:
The Open-Air Experience: A rear window that lowers completely into the tailgate. For easy access, there is a single button that lowers all four windows and lowers the rear drop glass simultaneously. The R2 gives an open and airy feel, allowing you to immerse yourself in the world around you.
Smart Storage: From the dual gloveboxes to a front trunk that fits multiple carry-on bags, R2 is built to carry your life and your equipment seamlessly.
Flexible Interior: The 40/20/40 second row folds completely flat, creating a level surface for gear-hauling or a comfortable night of car camping at the end of a long trail.
