The Tesla Model Y has been the sales king of small electric SUVs since the moment it arrived. Many rivals have chased its success, but none have come close. Now its Rivians turn. The Rivian R2 is the California EV automakers first small electric SUV, and its gunning for the Model Y. Rivians R1T truck and larger R1S SUV are excellent EVs, but their $80,000-ish price tags put them out of reach for most shoppers. At a starting price of about $45,000, the R2 is finally a Rivian many Americans can afford. To help you decide, Edmunds compared these two head-to-head to find out which is the better buy.

Range and charging

The Rivian R2s range spans from 275 miles in the base Standard model to 345 miles in the Standard Long Range. Most other verSions are rated at 330 miles. In the real-world Edmunds EV Range Test, the R2 Performance covered 304 miles, falling short of its 330-mile EPA estimate.

The Tesla Model Y outperforms the R2, ranging from 294 miles in the all-wheel-drive base model to 357 miles in the rear-wheel-drive Premium. The rear-wheel-drive base Model Y Edmunds tested covered 337 miles, and the new three-row Model Y L managed an impressive 358 miles both beating their EPA estimates. For both rivals, all-wheel-drive versions are rated lower than their rear-wheel-drive counterparts.

Both electric SUVs use Tesla-style (NACS) charging ports, giving them access to Teslas vast Supercharger fast-charging network. Under ideal conditions, Tesla says the Model Y can add up to 162 miles in 15 minutes, edging out the R2s cited 150 miles in 15 minutes. Edmunds testing confirmed that the Tesla charges slightly quicker.

Winner: Tesla Model Y

Tech features

The R2 and Model Y boast an impressive amount of standard tech, including a generous collection of advanced driver aids, wireless smartphone charging pads, large touchscreens with sharp-looking graphics, Google-based navigation, and camera systems that record your drive and monitor the vehicles surroundings when parked.

A hands-free driving mode is also available on both EVs. Teslas Full Self-Driving (Supervised) drives hands-free on highways and city streets, obeying stop signs and traffic lights and changing lanes on its own in Edmunds testing, its been the most useful hands-free driving system available. Rivians Autonomy+ also works hands-free on roads with painted lane markings, but it doesnt operate during city driving.

Overall, however, the R2s tech features are impressive. Unlike the Model Y, it has a digital driver display that keeps important info in your line of sight. Also, the R2s touchscreen system proved more responsive and enjoyable to use in Edmunds testing.

Winner: Rivian R2

Interior comfort and utility

The Model Y rides more smoothly over bumps than the firmer R2, though both have comfortable, supportive seats. Passenger space is similar, though the R2 has a bit more rear headroom. Tesla one-ups Rivian, however, with an available third row in the Premium and in the extended-length Model Y L though its best for kids and small adults, and it eats up a lot of cargo space when raised.

As for cargo, the R2 tops the Model Y behind the rear seats when you include their underfloor storage compartments, and it offers far greater total capacity: 90.1 cubic feet versus the five-seat Model Ys 75.5 cubic feet. Its front trunk is slightly larger too, and its 4,400-pound max towing capacity tops the Model Ys 3,500 pounds.

The Model Y is more comfortable and offers third-row versatility, but the R2 delivers more utility and a roomier back seat.

Winner: tie

Pricing and value

Including destination fees, the Rivian R2s starting prices range from $46,485 for the Standard trim to $59,485 for the top-level Performance trim. The Model Y spans $41,380 for the base trim to $63,380 for the three-row Model Y L. Note that for the R2, only the priciest Performance trim is available now; more affordable trim levels arrive in late 2026 and Spring 2027.

In general, the R2 will likely cost you a little more to buy. But it justifies its premium with a richer-looking interior, distinctive styling, superior off-road capability, and uncommon touches like a drop-down rear Window and dual glove boxes. Rivian also backs it with a one-year/12,000-mile adjustment warranty covering wheel alignment, factory defects and more something Tesla doesnt offer.

Winner: tie

Edmunds says

This electric SUV comparison ends in a tie both earned the same overall rating score and are at the top of Edmunds rankings for electric small SUVs. You cant go wrong with either, but if range and comfort top your priorities, the Model Y is for you. If youd rather have a more capable, premium-feeling SUV, order the R2.

特斯拉Model Y自上市以来一直是小型电动SUV市场的销量冠军。众多竞争对手纷纷追赶其成功，但无一能望其项背。如今，轮到Rivian来挑战了。Rivian R2是这家加州电动汽车制造商推出的首款小型电动SUV，目标直指Model Y。Rivian的R1T皮卡和更大尺寸的R1S SUV都是出色的电动车，但约8万美元的售价让大多数消费者望而却步。而R2起售价约为4.5万美元，终于让许多美国人能够负担得起一辆Rivian。为了帮助你做出选择，Edmunds将这两款车进行了正面比较，看看哪款更值得购买。

续航里程与充电

Rivian R2的续航里程范围从基础版Standard车型的275英里到Standard Long Range版的345英里不等。其他大多数版本的额定续航为330英里。在Edmunds的真实世界电动车续航测试中，R2 Performance版实际行驶了304英里，未达到其330英里的EPA预估里程。

特斯拉Model Y的表现优于R2，其续航里程从全轮驱动基础版的294英里到后轮驱动高级版的357英里不等。Edmunds测试的后轮驱动基础版Model Y行驶了337英里，而新款三排座Model Y L则达到了令人印象深刻的358英里——两者均超过了EPA的预估里程。对于这两款竞品车型而言，全轮驱动版本的续航评级均低于其后轮驱动版本。

这两款电动SUV均采用特斯拉式（NACS）充电接口，因此可以使用特斯拉庞大的超级充电网络。在理想条件下，特斯拉表示Model Y在15分钟内可增加最多162英里续航，略胜于R2所宣称的15分钟150英里。埃德蒙兹（Edmunds）的测试也证实，特斯拉的充电速度稍快一些。

获胜者：特斯拉Model Y

科技功能

R2和Model Y搭载了令人印象深刻的标准科技配置，包括丰富的先进驾驶辅助功能、无线智能手机充电板、配备清晰图形界面的大尺寸触摸屏、基于谷歌的导航系统，以及能够记录行车过程并在停车时监控车辆周围环境的摄像头系统。

这两款电动汽车也都提供了免手驾驶模式。特斯拉的全自动驾驶（受监督）功能可在高速公路和城市街道上实现免手驾驶，能遵守停车标志和交通信号灯，并自动变道——在埃德蒙兹的测试中，它一直是目前最实用的免手驾驶系统。Rivian的Autonomy+系统也能在有清晰车道标线的道路上实现免手驾驶，但在城市驾驶中无法使用。

不过，总体而言，R2的科技配置令人印象深刻。与Model Y不同，它配备了一块数字驾驶员显示屏，能将重要信息保持在您的视线范围内。此外，在埃德蒙兹的测试中，R2的触屏系统反应更灵敏，使用体验也更愉悦。

获胜者：Rivian R2

内部舒适性与实用性

Model Y 在颠簸路面上的行驶比悬挂更硬的 R2 更平稳，不过两者的座椅都舒适且支撑性好。乘客空间相近，但 R2 的后排头部空间略大一些。然而，特斯拉在 Premium 版和加长版 Model Y L 上提供了可选装的第三排座椅，这一点胜过 Rivian——不过该排座椅更适合儿童和身材较小的成年人，而且升起时会占用大量后备箱空间。

在货物装载方面，如果将座椅下方的储物格计算在内，R2在后排座椅后方的空间超过了Model Y，并且其总容积远大于后者：90.1立方英尺对比五座版Model Y的75.5立方英尺。R2的前备箱也稍大一些，其4400磅的最大牵引力也超过了Model Y的3500磅。

Model Y 在舒适性上更胜一筹，并提供第三排座椅的灵活选择，但 R2 则更具实用性，后排空间也更为宽敞。

获胜者：平局

定价与价值

包含目的地费用后，Rivian R2的起售价区间为：标准版46,485美元，至顶配性能版59,485美元。Model Y的起售价则从基础版的41,380美元，到三排座Model Y L的63,380美元不等。需要注意的是，目前R2仅提供最贵的性能版；更实惠的配置级别将于2026年底和2027年春季陆续推出。

总体而言，R2的购买价格可能会稍高一些。但其溢价物有所值：内饰更显高档，造型独具特色，越野能力更为出色，还配备了一些不常见的贴心设计，如可降下的后窗和双手套箱。此外，Rivian还为其提供一年或12,000英里的调整保修，涵盖车轮定位、工厂缺陷等项目——这是特斯拉所没有的。

获胜者：平局

埃德蒙兹表示

这场电动SUV对比以平局告终——两款车获得了相同的综合评分，在埃德蒙兹（Edmunds）电动小型SUV排行榜上并列榜首。选择哪一款都不会错，但如果你最看重续航和舒适性，Model Y更适合你；如果你更想要一款性能更强、质感更高级的SUV，那就选R2。
