Finally, an SUV that thinks like a SUV — and it is electric. Drive through more than three feet of water. Rock crawl a 100% grade. Traverse just about any terrain with 14.9 inches of ground clearance and up to 390 miles of range. With a 0–60 mph time as quick as 3 seconds, the Rivian R1S SUV delivers the on-road handling of a sports car.
The R1S is available with three AWD drive systems: Dual-Motor, Enhanced Dual-Motor and Quad-Motor.
All give 260–390 miles of range. And the R1S can be set for a smooth ride around town or put in off-road mode for the trail. Drive modes adjust things like ride height, suspension and more to optimize for driving preferences and different terrain conditions.
If the car needs a charge in the middle of the day’s errands, 20 minutes at a fast charger can add enough range to drive about 140 miles. Every Rivian vehicle features a CCS plug so it can charge with any public charging network, as well as the ever-growing Rivian Adventure Network. The rear cargo area offers 17.6 cubic feet of storage.
From city streets to far-off trails, the R1S enables the driver to explore all types of terrain through all kinds of weather. Whatever the adventure, R1S is ready for it. The included trailer hitch unlocks 7,700 pounds of towing capacity. The front trunk offers room for all kinds of gear.
From front trunk to rear cargo area to third-row cubbies, there’s more than 104 cubic feet of storage — room enough for passengers and everything else. And for serious stowage, the second and third row of seats fold completely flat.
Luxury at its finest with all the controls — from physical to digital — at the driver’s fingertips. The interior features vegan leather and optional ash wood accents. And there’s a fully immersive sound system, with speakers throughout the cabin.
Three tires were built specifically for Rivian. The tires chosen play an important role in the handling, range and off-road capabilities of the vehicle. Rivian partnered with Pirelli to develop and tune three tires specifically for the vehicles and their unique capabilities. While each one is optimized for a specific driving experience, all three offer strong all-around performance and range.
