I’ve submitted my proposal to Rivian for them to refrigerate the front trunk for groceries and camping, but I’m not sure if the company thinks it is worth the battery hit. There’s also enough room for about eight brown paper grocery bags. The frunk also has a drain for ice when tailgating and a false floor for storing cables neatly. Put the third row down and you’ve got enough room for bikes or golf clubs.ĭon’t forget that huge frunk in your storage calculations. You can see above that there’s a nice amount of space for strollers and suitcases, and there are also two false floors where a small spare could also be hidden. R1S storageĮven with the third row up, there is significant storage in the back. A family of seven could happily manage hours of travel in this thing. The second row is roomy, even the middle seat. There’s really not a bad seat in the car. It does add the turning radius and off-roading advantages, but in reality, that extra room would have been really appreciated inside the R1S, especially in the third row. I spoke with a few of Rivian’s designers and didn’t really come away with a firm understanding of why they cut the size of the R1S short.

The second row splits into a 40/20/40, and you can technically fit three baby seats there, but the center one will be tight.Īnd I can only imagine how nice this would be if Rivian built this vehicle with the extra foot of wheel base, and therefore legroom, of the R1T frame. The seat release is on top of the second-row seat back for easy exit and entry. There’s no center arm rest however, which would have been nice. The third row even has convenient storage boxes in the outside arm rests including a USB-C port for device charging. For kids, these are great seats they could spend hours in. I wouldn’t want to go on a roadtrip back there, but a 30-minute ride to an airport would be doable. They are not only relatively easy to get into and out of, but they are also quite comfortable to sit in, even for adults. If you are here for the third-row seats, I have some pretty good news for you. Rivian doesn’t currently offer a R1T cab, but it isn’t rocket science and someone will do it soon. Honestly, if you aren’t here for the third-row seats, I’d probably tell you to get an R1T and maybe a cab for storage. The R1S actually has some pretty impressive third-row seats.(But we have heard there is a smaller R1S camp kitchen that will go behind the rear seats in development. The gear tunnel is more legroom for the third row passengers. Gear tunnel? Camp kitchen? Nope and nope.Instead of that amazing storage under the seats of the R1T, you have a sliding seat and foot room for the third row.Performance and range are mostly unchanged. Those 14.7 inches make a noticeable difference in turning radius and off-roading, which I’ll discuss later. The wheelbase of the R1T is 135.8 inches, and R1S is 121.1 inches. The R1S is overall 17 inches shorter than the R1T.Once you get to the back seat, things start changing fast however. Both vehicles weigh in at just under 7,000 lbs.

The same 78-ish inch height and 81.8″ (221 cm) width windows folded, 87.1″ (221 cm) unfolded. They have the same monster 11.1 cubic foot frunk.

So, from this perspective, these vehicles are remarkably similar, and they come off the same line at the plant in Normal, Illinois.

Obviously the software on the display is different, but that’s just electrons really.

This is the easiest way to tell the difference between an R1T (no chrome) vs.

The (controversial and polarizing) chrome wraparound on the top of the cab.

There is a rear windshield wiper activation button on the left steering column stalk on the R1s.R1Tįrom the B-Pillar or front seats forward, there are only two microscopic hardware differences in the R1S and R1T: Electrek named the R1T the 2021 vehicle of the year, and to say we gushed over it might be an understatement.

One simple fact is going to tell you more than all of the Rivian R1S Review words, images, and video below: I’m in line to buy a Rivian R1S, and after a few days on and off the roads of upstate NY, I’m more excited than ever to get my hands on it.īut if you’ll indulge me, I’d like to tell you about this mighty, electric seven-seat off-road SUV and why it is on my, and many many others’ dream car list – from the perspective of someone who is test-driving their next vehicle.įirst of all, most people reading Electrek will know that the Rivian R1S is basically the R1T pickup truck with an enclosed rear area and a third row.
