The 2026 Rivian R2 is a completely new electric SUV from American EV maker Rivian, designed to expand the brand’s lineup beyond its premium R1T pickup and R1S SUV. Revealed in 2024 and slated for production and deliveries in the second quarter of 2026, the R2 represents Rivian’s push into a more mainstream, affordable EV market. Built on a dedicated midsize platform and assembled in Normal, Illinois, the R2 is positioned as a competitor to popular electric crossovers like the Tesla Model Y while retaining Rivian’s rugged adventure-ready identity.

Under the skin, the R2 is expected to offer multiple powertrain configurations to suit a wide range of buyers, including single-motor rear-wheel drive, dual-motor all-wheel drive, and higher-performance tri-motor AWD versions. Battery options are anticipated to deliver more than 300 miles of range on a single charge, with estimates around 300 miles depending on configuration. Rivian has focused on cost-effective design and efficiency — including new battery cell formats and simplified architecture — to achieve competitive pricing and strong real-world performance.

The R2’s performance credentials are impressive for its class, with early reports suggesting dual-motor versions could produce around 656 horsepower and accelerate briskly, making it a spirited alternative to rivals on both road and trail. Charging capabilities are competitive, with fast-charging support that can bring the battery from 10 % to 80 % in roughly 30 minutes, making long trips more practical. Rivian also integrates outdoor-ready design cues, high ground clearance, and features aimed at adventure-minded drivers — traits that echo the brand’s “Electric Adventure Vehicle” ethos.

Inside, the R2 is expected to deliver the brand’s modern yet functional cabin experience, combining rugged utility with thoughtful tech. Though full interior details are still emerging, the SUV is designed to offer comfortable seating for five, clever storage solutions, and Rivian’s technology suite, which prioritizes connectivity, driver-assistance systems, and over-the-air updates. With a starting price estimated around $45,000, the R2 aims to make Rivian’s signature blend of capability, comfort, and innovation more accessible to everyday EV buyers, potentially becoming a core driver of Rivian’s growth in 2026 and beyond.

The 2026 Jeep Cherokee marks a major return for one of Jeep’s most recognizable SUVs, arriving with a complete redesign that modernizes both looks and performance. Built on Jeep’s STLA Large platform, this new Cherokee presents a bold exterior with a sleeker, more aerodynamic profile, updated LED lighting, and a refreshed front grille that bridges the gap between classic Jeep DNA and contemporary design language. The body has been thoughtfully reconfigured to improve overall passenger and cargo space while maintaining the rugged character Jeep buyers expect.

Under the hood, Jeep has shifted the Cherokee to a hybrid-only powertrain for 2026 — a turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine paired with electric drive motors and a battery pack. This setup delivers a balanced blend of efficiency and capability, with combined horsepower around 210 and fuel economy near an estimated 37 mpg combined. The new hybrid system also gives the SUV a strong driving range of over 500 miles on a single fill-up, making it versatile for both daily commuting and long-distance adventures. All 2026 Cherokee models come standard with an advanced four-wheel-drive system that enhances traction and off-road capability, a nod to Jeep’s heritage.

Inside, the 2026 Cherokee offers a more spacious, tech-forward cabin compared with previous generations. Jeep has expanded cargo capacity and refined interior ergonomics to improve comfort for all occupants. The interior layout emphasizes modern connectivity and convenience, with larger touchscreen interfaces, digital instrument clusters, and available premium materials across higher trims. Jeep has also incorporated a suite of driver-assistance and safety features as standard, including adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring, and other Level 2 driving aids, reinforcing both daily usability and long-distance confidence.

In terms of value and practicality, the 2026 Cherokee is positioned as a versatile midsize SUV designed to appeal to a wide range of buyers — from urban drivers to off-road enthusiasts. Pricing for the base model begins in the competitive mid-$30,000 range, with additional trims offering upgraded comfort, technology, and capability features. With its combination of hybrid efficiency, modern design, advanced safety tech, and Jeep’s signature all-terrain capability, the 2026 Jeep Cherokee aims to be a compelling choice in the crowded SUV market.

The MG Majestor is an all-new flagship SUV from MG Motor India, scheduled for official launch on February 12, 2026, with teasers already revealing its bold road presence and modern design cues. Positioned above the existing MG Gloster in MG’s lineup, the Majestor is engineered to compete directly with premium body-on-frame SUVs like the Toyota Fortuner Legender and other flagship rivals. This new model is being introduced as India’s first “D+ segment” SUV, which means it’s larger and more premium than typical D-segment SUVs currently on sale, boasting a commanding stance, tallest and widest dimensions in its class, and a distinctive Majestic Matrix front grille with sharp split-headlamps and falcon-type DRLs.

Under the hood, the MG Majestor is expected to be powered by a 2.0-litre four-cylinder diesel engine paired with an 8-speed automatic gearbox, offering robust performance for both on-road and off-road driving. According to reports, the engine’s output is likely around 216 PS of power and up to 480 Nm of torque in the higher tune, with 4×4 drive capability available — making it suitable for rugged terrains as well as highway cruising. This powertrain setup is similar to the internationally sold Maxus D90/Gloster platform, which the Majestor builds upon but with significant design and feature enhancements.

Inside, the Majestor is expected to feature a premium and technology-rich cabin, with a large free-floating 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system, an all-digital instrument cluster, a panoramic sunroof, and a suite of advanced comfort features including ventilated/heated seats with massaging functionality, three-zone climate control, and a high-end audio system. Connectivity and convenience will likely be strong points, with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, wireless charging, and connected car tech anticipated across higher trims. On the safety and driver-assistance front, Level-2 ADAS features such as adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist, blind-spot monitoring, and a 360° camera setup are expected to be offered, elevating the Majestor’s appeal in the premium SUV segment.

In terms of pricing, the MG Majestor is expected to be priced in a “premium” range, with estimates around ₹40–₹50 lakh (ex-showroom) in India for the base and higher trims, while some publications suggest starting prices could be closer to ₹46 lakh for the initial variants. Final pricing may vary by city and feature level at launch. With its combination of commanding dimensions, powerful diesel engine, advanced tech and safety suite, and luxurious interior features, the MG Majestor is being positioned as a serious challenger in India’s full-size SUV market — appealing to buyers who want more space, capability, and premium features than typical mid-size SUVs.
