Overview

The second-generation 2026 Rivian R1S Quad-Motor returns to the top of the lineup with Rivian's in-house designed drive units. Producing 1,025 hp, offering up to 374 miles of range, and natively integrating Tesla's NACS charging port, it sets a high bar for luxury electric SUVs.

Driving & Performance

Accelerating from 0-60 mph in a blinding 2.5 seconds, the R1S Quad-Motor handles with precise agility on pavement while remaining virtually unstoppable off-road thanks to independent wheel torque vectoring and 15 inches of air suspension lift.

Technology & Utility

Standout features include RAD Tuner software for custom dynamic tuning, Kick Turn capability for tight off-road pivots, Launch Cam video capture, and a native NACS charge port for seamless access to the Tesla Supercharger network.

Pros

  • Staggering 1,025 horsepower with supercar-level 2.5-second 0-60 mph sprint
  • Four-motor independent torque vectoring provides unbelievable off-road traction
  • Native NACS port allows seamless direct charging at Tesla Superchargers
  • Impressive 374-mile EPA range with Max Battery pack
  • Spacious 3-row seating with ample cargo storage and front trunk (frunk)

Cons

  • High entry price point ($121,990 base MSRP)
  • Heavy curb weight reduces energy efficiency compared to smaller crossovers
  • Lacks Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration

Verdict

The 2026 Rivian R1S Quad-Motor AWD is a supercar-fast 7-seater SUV with world-class off-road credentials. Boasting 1,025 hp, native NACS charging, and 4-wheel independent torque vectoring, it is one of the most capable electric vehicles ever built.
