There is. But it's independent front and rear suspensions. Never going to see as much articulation as vehicles with solid axles (and those ride like shit on pavement). Most of these, like the R1 and Jeeps, will spend most of their lives on pavement.
Shrug. Everything has limits and every driver has potential to make judgement mistake. Anyone can get stuck. And, "if you don't get stuck, you ain't having fun".Agreed, the R2 would never be a true offroader. Can't wait to see all the youtube videos of R2s stuck at Moab
Broncos have far better articulation with independent front suspension.
If you need a great offroader that rides well on the pavement, look at a G wagon (even an older one). They ride much better than any Jeeps or Broncos and are far quieter at highway speeds.
It sure looks low, i wouldn't get too excited about it for off highway adventures.It’s just a prototype thing. Here’s a pic of what it should look like when it goes into production. Two tow hooks, similar to the R1S.
Maybe there will be an off-road package. Who knows? They are testing it off-road though, so there must be a reason.
9.8 inches of ground clearance - not the same as our R1Ts and R1Ss, but still higher than a Subaru Outback with the wilderness trim.
I think the Outback is a good baseline for the R2 in it's stock form. I expect it to be similar to an Outback or Jeep Cherokee off road, but more capable. The question with R2 is, will they have all terrain version that has real improvement over stock and will it be easier to upgrade the suspension to improve articulation and ground clearance for those that wish to.
Who needs them, it will never get stuck!Such a sad little recovery eye-loop on the front bumper
