The 2022 Rivian R1S has appeal, capability, and lots of promise:
The R1S comes standard with a seven-passenger setup courtesy of a three-place second-row bench seat and a two-passenger third row. There's not an overly generous amount of legroom in either row, so don't think that this is an alternative to a
. But Rivian did do a good job with the seat versatility, as both the second and third rows fold flat and create a useful cargo floor.The R1S we drove had the only powertrain available initially: a quad-motor setup with a 128.9-kWh battery pack feeding the electric motors, which make 835 total horsepower—same as the R1T. The SUV's numbers aren't identical to the truck's, however, as it has slightly better EPA range and a lower towing capacity of 7700 pounds .
Owing to its shorter wheelbase and better departure angle compared with the pickup, Rivian sees the R1S as the stronger off-roader of the two. The air suspension can be raised to provide up to 15.0 inches of ground clearance, and Rivian claims it can ford water up to 39 inches deep.
