We’re excited to share that R2 has won SUV of the Year in the 2027 TopGear.com US Car Awards. R2 brings Rivian’s design, performance and technology to a significantly broader audience without losing what makes a Rivian unmistakably Rivian.
Against a competitive field of gas, hybrid and electric rivals, TopGear.com named R2 the best SUV in America.
“The R2 has so much going for it as a car, not just as an EV. It looks terrific — futuristic yet unfussy. Inside, it’s modern car design 101 with screens galore but you get physical wheel controls, which means less jabbing at the touchscreen and more time with your eyes on the road. We love the hessian floor mats, the light but tough fabrics and open pore wood, it walks the line of feeling expensive but hard wearing. On the move it’s effortlessly fast and well calibrated. We want one…and we won’t be alone.”
“It’s incredible for R2 to be recognized by Top Gear as SUV of the Year. This is a testament to the entire Rivian team for their passion and relentless focus on bringing this vehicle to life.”
