Rivian impressed us with its R1T pickup, and its R1S electric SUV is no different. The slightly smaller vehicle continues the automotive startup’s trend of building no-compromise electric vehicles meant for outdoor adventure.
Living the life of an extreme camper, kayaker or cyclist does have a bank-busting price tag with the R1S starting at $78,000. It also might not be the most efficient EV on the market, but it has a range of up to 316 miles and delivers to those looking to go outdoors with a vehicle that’s solidly built. The R1S also now ships with new Camping features so overnight stays can be a bit more comfortable. Designing a desirable EV is not something Rivian has struggled with to date, though: its real issue is mass-producing cars to keep up with orders. Watch the video below for the full story.
