The 2023 Rivian R1S is an all-electric luxury midsize SUV with seating for up to seven and a maximum range of 321 miles. Pricing starts at $78,000.
This is where personal transport is heading. Electric SUVs. The driving public is in love with SUVs and their raised driving positions, while the future is looking increasingly electric. Tesla TSLA has already shown that a new company can take on the old guard and succeed. Rivian RIVN is forging its own path.The R1S is one of two all-electric vehicles from Rivian so far, the other being the R1T pickup. This SUV launched last year, the truck debuted for 2021.
Rivals include the Tesla Model X , the 5-seater BMW iX and the GMC Hummer EV SUV . Lucid LCID also has an electric SUV in the pipeline to complement its sleek Air sedan. Range, charging, and performance Rivian claims the standard battery in the R1S Dual-Motor is capable of providing “260-plus” miles of travel with a full battery before needing a charge. We’ll assume that it’s closer to 261 miles than 270.
The fastest-accelerating Rivian R1S is the Quad-Motor version, capable of blasting from standstill to 60 mph in three seconds, which would be remarkable for sports car, but this is achieved by a 7-seater SUV. The Dual-Motor model is only one second behind.Driving the 2023 Rivian R1S The R1S has an air suspension with adaptive shock absorbers and an electro-hydraulic roll control system that does away with traditional anti-roll bars. The suspension raises and lowers the vehicle up to 5.
Well-considered interior Vegan leather is a contradiction in terms. What Rivian means is convincing simulated leather whose means of production hasn’t harmed any animal directly. Along with real wood, this material adds a significant touch of class to the cabin. Legroom in those back rows isn’t especially impressive, although OK for younger family members. Cargo space is great, however, starting at 17.7 cubic feet behind the third row. There’s also a large storage area under the hood.
