The Rivian R1S is the second model to come from the upstart automaker. Like the R1T pickup, the R1S SUV is all-electric and can be had with a dual or quad motor set-up. The latter produces an impressive 835.
The R1S is more SUV in shape than many of its competitors. This leads to a very usable three rows of seating. But the SUV attributes don’t stop there. Unlike many rivals, the R1S includes various off-road modes, technology, and impressive levels of adjustable ground clearance.

2023 Rivian R1S Launch Edition Review
You know what we don’t have whole lot of electric examples of? Convertibles, two-doors, and three-row SUVs.
Now Rivian can’t really help us with those first two categories—at least not currently—but it can offer a three-row SUV for the family with this, the 2023 Rivian R1S Launch Edition.
I recently spent a day with this blocky-chic, all-electric SUV in beautiful British Columbia. In that time the R1S experienced all four seasons, drove up a mountain, and just generally impressed—especially as only the second product from the start-up brand. It was imperfect and pricey, but the R1S’ sense of adventure sure is contagious, and its appeal is undeniable.
