Rivian R2 UK Bound FIRST LOOK: EV that could beat Land Rover at its own game

Video Description

The Rivian R2 is finally here - and has been confirmed for sale in the UK. In this full walkaround, Ginny explores the design, the clever storage tricks and the adventure-first ethos that has made Rivian such a cult favourite in the US. But here’s the big headline for UK viewers: the R2 will be the first Rivian to officially arrive in the UK next year. Yes, the wait is over, and what a way to make an entrance. And with its chunky stance and go-anywhere attitude, the R2 feels like it’s marching straight into Land Rover territory… and maybe even beating them at their own game. A compact electric SUV with proper personality, real capability, and clever Rivian features? This could be a landmark moment for both adventure EVs and the UK market. #RivianR2 #Rivian #ElectricSUV #EVReview 🎥 Subscribe to Electrifying YouTube: https://electrifyingcom.short.gy/KK1pbX 🎧 Electrifying Podcast: https://electrifyingcom.short.gy/Pogjfb ✉️Electrifying.com Newsletter: https://www.electrifying.com/newsletter Follow Electrifying.com ⬇️ INSTAGRAM: http://instagram.com/electrifyingcom FACEBOOK: https://facebook.com/electrifyingcom/ X: https://twitter.com/ElectrifyingCom TIKTOK: https://tiktok.com/@electrifyingcom ——————————————————————————————- Check back for the latest new car reviews on everything electric ✅ the latest car reviews ✅ car advice and explainers ✅ used and new car guides ✅ head-to-heads WANT MORE ELECTRIFYING.COM?
