What's New for 2025?

For the 2025 model year, the R1T Dual-Motor Standard+ continues to showcase Rivian's excellent in-house developed Enduro motors, providing this trim with its impressive efficiency and power. While Rivian opts for continuous improvement over dramatic annual overhauls, anticipate ongoing enhancements via over-the-air software updates, keeping your truck feeling brand new. The Standard+ battery and motor configuration itself, which began production in 2024, represents a key part of Rivian's strategy to offer a compelling mix of range and value heading into 2025.

Design & Exterior

The R1T Dual-Motor Standard+ absolutely screams adventure with its unmistakable Rivian design language, highlighted by those iconic "stadium" headlights and a modern, ruggedly handsome silhouette. It’s a definite head-turner, measuring a substantial 217.1 inches in length, 79.3 inches in width (excluding mirrors), and 78.2 inches in height. Clever features like the super-practical Gear Tunnel, which passes right through the truck, are standard, boosting its already impressive utility and unique character on American roads.

Interior, Tech & Cargo

Hop inside the R1T Dual-Motor Standard+ and you’re immediately met with a beautifully minimalist yet premium cabin, featuring sustainable vegan leather and stylishly integrated recycled materials. It comfortably accommodates five occupants. For all your stuff, there's a handy 11.1 ft³ frunk (front trunk), the ingenious Gear Tunnel (offering even more enclosed storage), plus the versatile pickup bed. Tech is dominated by a massive central touchscreen and a crisp digital driver display, running Rivian’s slick proprietary infotainment system—though note it bypasses Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for its own comprehensive connected experience.

Performance & Driving Experience

Don't let the "Standard+" nameplate fool you; this Rivian R1T is seriously rapid, launching from 0 to 60 mph in a mere 4.5 seconds! Its potent dual Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (Rivian's own Enduro units, one at the front, one at the rear) churn out a combined 397 kW and a hefty 610 lb-ft of torque, all channeled through a sophisticated all-wheel-drive system. Thanks to its standard adaptive air suspension, it delivers a surprisingly plush ride on pavement yet transforms into an absolute beast when the trail gets tough. Customizable regenerative braking modes also enhance the driving experience.

Range, Battery & Charging

The Dual-Motor Standard+ is equipped with a 121 kWh (usable) battery pack, delivering Green Cars Compare's calculated 'real-world' range estimate of 300 miles – ample for most journeys and adventures! It achieves an efficiency of around 2.48 mi/kWh. For home charging, the standard 11.5 kW on-board AC charger can replenish the battery fully in approximately 10.5 hours. When you're on the move, it can accept DC fast charging at up to 215 kW via its CCS Type 1 port, minimizing downtime. Vehicle-to-load (V2L) capability also adds to its versatility.

Safety & Driver-Assistance Features

Rivian prioritizes safety, and the R1T has impressively earned a Top Safety Pick+ award from the IIHS, reflecting its strong crash performance and safety features. Every R1T, including this Dual-Motor Standard+ variant, comes standard with Rivian's comprehensive Driver+ assistance suite. This includes Highway Assist (which combines adaptive cruise control and lane centering for semi-autonomous driving on approved highways), blind-spot monitoring, forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, and a 360-degree camera system, giving you serious peace of mind on every trip.

Warranty & Maintenance Coverage

Rivian provides solid peace of mind with a comprehensive vehicle warranty covering the R1T Dual-Motor Standard+ for 5 years or 60,000 miles, whichever comes first. Even better, the critical battery pack and drivetrain components are covered for an impressive 8 years or 175,000 miles, with a guarantee of at least 70% battery capacity retention. While Rivian doesn't typically bundle complimentary scheduled maintenance, their vehicles benefit from continuous improvement via over-the-air software updates, and overall reliability is on a positive trajectory as the company refines its awesome trucks.
