Rivian R2 Performance Achieves Tesla-Equal EPA Efficiency, Extends Range

EPA data put Rivian R2 Performance at 105 MPGe (32 kWh/100 miles), tying the Tesla Model Y Performance in efficiency despite a taller, heavier SUV stance; the Rivian uses an 86.8 kWh pack for a 330-mile range vs. 306 miles for the Y with an 84 kWh pack, while 21-inch wheels deliver peak numbers and 20-inch tires cut efficiency to 99 MPGe and 307 miles; starting price is $57,990 and deliveries begin June 9, as Rivian touts weight-reduction engineering to offset aerodynamics and competition from BMW iX3.

Rivian R2 Delivers Tesla-like Efficiency Ahead of Its Rugged Adventure Appeal

EPA ratings show the Rivian R2 Performance matching the Tesla Model Y Performance for efficiency (105 MPGe combined, 32 kWh/100 miles) and beating it on range (330 miles vs 306) with the standard 21-inch wheels. Opting for 20-inch tires reduces efficiency to 99 MPGe and 34 kWh/100 miles with 307 miles of range. The R2 weighs about 5,250 lbs and sports a boxier, rugged design, while housing an 86.8 kWh pack versus the Model Y’s 84 kWh. Pricing sits near parity: R2 starts at $57,990 (Launch Package) and Model Y Performance at $57,490. Real-world results remain to be seen, but Rivian presents a compelling, space‑rich alternative that matches Tesla on efficiency while offering more interior room and off‑road capability.
