A comparison between the Rivian R2 and Ford Mustang Mach-E, two affordable electric cars with different designs and features.
The Rivian R2 has finally been announced, and it could end up being the go-to EV for drivers who want a decently affordable electric car with a rugged look and feel. But when it finally launches to the public, it won’t be the only option in its price range — the Ford Mustang Mach-E could be one of its main competitors.
The Rivian R2 definitely has more of an SUV design to it. It has a boxy overall shape similar to that of the R1S but a little smaller. You’ll get those signature oval headlights at the front, along with a long light bar that extends across the back of the car and around to the sides. It’s a great-looking vehicle that will appeal to those who already like Rivian’s design aesthetic.
Interior and tech The design aesthetics of these two cars extend to the interior, too. Like the exterior, the Rivian R2 is more rugged and outdoor-focused. In fact, when announcing the car, Rivian was quick to point out the fact that the first- and second-row seats can fold down, allowing enough room for an air mattress for camping. Other than that, the car offers premium materials and plenty of interior storage, including two glove boxes under the dash.
Generally, the R2 has a slightly more spacious an interior and is a little more tech-focused. If those things are important to you, then the R2 might be a better buy, if you want CarPlay, the Mustang is a better option. It’s also important to note that it’s entirely possible that the Mach-E will offer better or different performance in 2026 when the R2 rolls out.
