Rivian R1S 1st Generation

2022–2026 · R1S · suv

Three-row electric SUV sibling to the R1T, on the same Rivian skateboard platform. US lineup mirrors the R1T: Dual-Motor (533 hp), Performance Dual-Motor (665 hp), and Quad-Motor (835 hp with full torque vectoring). Battery options from 105 kWh Standard to 149 kWh Max. EPA range up to about 410 miles depending on configuration. Seven-passenger three-row layout standard. Built in Normal, Illinois. Gen 2 mid-2024 refresh aligned with the R1T's electronics simplification.

Watch out: REAL ISSUE: Shares the Gen 1 R1T problem list: door handle motor failures, screen flickers, and the inverter/charging system recall (NHTSA campaign 24V-191 covering 2022-2024 R1S). Gen 2 cars addressed many of the same. Air suspension service is expensive outside warranty. Tire wear on the standard 22-inch wheels comes up faster than buyers expect.
