Overview
The Rivian R1S is the premium, adventure-focused electric SUV for families who refuse to compromise. This Dual-Motor Max trim hits the sweet spot, balancing exhilarating performance with the lineup's most substantial battery for ultimate range. While this specific configuration was discontinued during 2024, it's a stellar find on the used market with an estimated price around $59,200. It’s the go-anywhere, do-anything electric hauler that blends serious off-road chops with a silent, futuristic driving experience, making it a standout choice for those wanting it all without the gas pump.
What's New for 2024?
The 2024 model year saw Rivian continue to refine its lineup, with this Dual-Motor Max pack configuration being a key offering before its discontinuation. While not a ground-up redesign, 2024 models benefit from continuous over-the-air software updates that improve everything from efficiency to the infotainment experience. Early 2024 builds of the R1S retain the CCS Type 1 charge port, with an NACS adapter available to grant access to Tesla's Supercharger network. Think of it as the final, most refined version of this specific long-range configuration before Rivian shuffled its offerings.
Design & Exterior
The R1S's design is unmistakable and oozes cool confidence. You get the signature vertical "stadium" headlights and a full-width daytime running light bar that gives it a friendly-robot vibe. It’s a clean, modern, and boxy shape that screams capability. Measuring 200.8 inches long, 79.3 inches wide, and 77.3 inches tall, it has a commanding presence without feeling unwieldy. This trim maintains the rugged yet sophisticated aesthetic, looking just as at home on a city street as it does on a muddy trail. It’s a design that’s both functional and futuristic.
Interior, Tech & Cargo
Step inside and you're greeted by a minimalist, airy cabin with a premium, vegan-friendly finish and real wood accents—it's properly posh. Passenger space is generous, with flexible seating for five or seven. The dashboard is dominated by a massive central touchscreen and a crisp digital driver's display, though there is no Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. For hauling gear, you get 5.1 cubic feet of trunk storage behind the upright third row, which expands to a massive 79.9 cubic feet with seats folded, plus a super-handy 11.1 cubic-foot frunk.
Performance & Driving Experience
Don't let the size fool you; this thing is seriously quick. The dual-motor all-wheel-drive system, featuring permanent magnet synchronous motors on both axles, delivers a potent 532 horsepower and 610 lb-ft of torque. That's enough grunt to launch this three-row SUV from 0-60 mph in just 4.5 seconds, with a top speed of 110 mph. The standard air suspension is the star of the show, providing a plush ride on the highway and the ability to jack up the ride height for serious off-roading, making it a true dual-threat performer.
Range, Battery & Charging
This is where the 'Max' trim shines. It packs a massive 141 kWh usable battery, delivering a Green Cars Compare calculated real-world range of 380 miles on a full charge, with a solid efficiency of 2.7 mi/kWh. For charging, its 400-volt architecture and CCS Type 1 port can handle DC fast charging up to 215 kW, juicing up the battery in a hurry. At home or the office, the standard 11.5 kW on-board AC charger will replenish the battery overnight. It’s the perfect setup for epic road trips with minimal charging anxiety.
Safety & Driver-Assistance Features
While this specific trim lacks an official NHTSA rating, the R1S platform has earned top marks from the IIHS. Every R1S comes standard with Rivian's excellent Driver+ assistance suite. This isn't some watered-down package; you get a fantastic hands-on Highway Assist feature that combines adaptive cruise control and lane centering for stress-free road trips. It also includes Blind Spot Monitoring with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert and Automatic Emergency Braking as standard kit, giving you a comprehensive safety net right out of the box without ticking any option boxes.
Warranty & Maintenance Coverage
Rivian backs the R1S with a solid warranty package. You get a comprehensive limited warranty covering the vehicle for 5 years or 60,000 miles. More importantly for an EV, the battery pack and drivetrain components are covered for a lengthy 8 years or 175,000 miles, whichever comes first, including protection against significant battery degradation. While Rivian doesn't offer complimentary scheduled maintenance, the ownership experience is simplified by over-the-air software updates that continuously improve the vehicle and reduce the need for frequent service center visits, keeping it feeling fresh.
