I join Wassym in the brand new Rivian R2 to discuss and showcase the upcoming software including refreshed UI that will be launching with R2 plus we discuss the R2 audio system (spoiler alert: it’s so much better than Gen 2 R1) and a bunch of other goodies!
Some say these colors are boring, I think they are elegant and match the design of R2. Join me as I check out all the colors (except Esker Silver and Forest Green) that Rivian brought out to SXSW alongside the 2 interior colors.
Rivian unveiled the full R2 lineup at SXSW 2026, revealing all four trims, final pricing, and a confirmed Spring 2026 delivery date for the Performance Launch Package.
