~$90,000
Engine: Dual / Quad electric motors
Torque: 1231 Nm
0–100 km/h: ~3.0 s
The Rivian R1S Quad-Motor redefines expectations for a full-size, three-row SUV, delivering sports car acceleration in a family-sized package. With four electric motors—one per wheel—it unleashes up to 908 lb-ft of torque, rocketing the nearly 7,000-pound vehicle from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3 seconds. Such blistering performance is typically reserved for low-slung performance coupes, yet here it’s wrapped in a rugged, high-clearance SUV capable of trail domination and urban sprinting alike.
Unlike traditional high-power SUVs, the R1S uses its unique electric drivetrain for torque vectoring, allowing each wheel to independently respond to traction needs. This enables it to carve corners with poise on asphalt and pivot effortlessly off-road. The adaptive air suspension lowers the center of gravity during high-speed maneuvers, granting it surprising agility given its size, while also offering increased clearance for serious off-road situations. It's a machine engineered as much for athleticism as for utility.
Rivian didn’t simply chase numbers—the R1S was built as a lifestyle performance vehicle for those who demand both speed and space. Whether accelerating past sports sedans or powering up rocky inclines, the R1S delivers a unique duality: capable of taking the kids to school and outrunning many traditional performance cars on the way back. Its silent, instantaneous power delivery and intelligent software-controlled dynamics make it one of the most versatile and exhilarating electric SUVs ever built.

SUV
Model Name Meaning (Manufacturer)
“R1S” stands for Rivian, first-generation platform (1), SUV. It shares its architecture with the R1T pickup and was designed to offer the perfect blend of utility, capability, and sophistication. Unlike many competitors, the R1S was built from the ground up as an EV and not adapted from a combustion platform. It embodies Rivian’s mission to create a vehicle that supports both urban life and off-grid exploration, while delivering exceptional electric performance and a premium experience.
Body & Interior Colors and Rims
Rivian offers a nature-inspired palette including Forest Green, Limestone, Compass Yellow, El Cap Granite, Glacier White, and LA Silver. These shades reflect the brand’s outdoorsy ethos, while options like Midnight and Red Canyon add bold contrast. The R1S features a contrasting black roof and clamshell-style rear tailgate.
Interiors come in three themed environments:
Black Mountain – minimalist, dark, technical.
Forest Edge – rich green tones with natural wood and warm accents.
Ocean Coast – light and airy, with white and pale blue tones.
Materials include recycled textiles, vegan leather, and genuine natural-grain ash wood. All controls are digital via a 15.6” touchscreen and a 12.3” driver display, with virtually no physical buttons.
Wheel options include:
20” All-Terrain wheels – matte black, designed for off-roading
21” Road wheels – optimized for ride comfort and efficiency
22” Sport wheels – painted or machined with gloss finishes
Each configuration is available with Pirelli tires tailored to the R1 platform.
Top Expensive Options
- Quad-Motor AWD (one motor per wheel) – $8,000
- Max Pack Battery (~390 miles range) – $16,000
- Large Pack Battery (~321 miles range) – $6,000
- Premium Interior with real wood and heated/ventilated seats – $2,000
- Adventure Package (power liftgate, underbody shield, tow hooks) – $5,500
- Off-Road Upgrade (reinforced underbody, tow hooks, full-size spare) – $2,000
- Air Suspension with adaptive ride height (6.5”–15”) – standard
- Removable Roof Crossbars and Accessory Mounts – $800
- Gear Guard Security with external sensors and cables – $2,500
- Wall Charger and Off-Grid Adapter (bi-directional charging ready) – $750
vs Competitors
The Rivian R1S competes with Tesla Model X, Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV, BMW iX, Lucid Gravity, and rugged ICE alternatives like the Land Rover Defender 130 and Toyota Land Cruiser. Unlike the Model X, which emphasizes speed and tech, the R1S delivers serious off-road capability, true modular utility, and a clean, modern cabin free from excessive complexity. Compared to luxury competitors, it offers more versatility, a fresher design philosophy, and superior adventure-readiness. It’s also one of the very few electric SUVs with a third row and real ground clearance, making it a compelling choice for families and explorers alike.
Fun Fact
The Rivian R1S is the first all-electric SUV in the U.S. market with true three-row seating and 15 inches of adjustable ground clearance. It can ford through 3+ feet of water, climb 100% grades, and turn in place using a function once dubbed “Tank Turn” — which Rivian developed using its quad-motor setup. While the Tank Turn demo went viral, the feature was later disabled in production versions due to trail damage concerns and regulatory questions.
