The R1S is the only three-row electric SUV that can genuinely go off-road — 15 inches of ground clearance, 410 miles of range, and up to 1,025 hp. It's a family hauler that doubles as an adventure vehicle.
If your family camps, tows, or just wants the most capable EV money can buy, the R1S has no real competition. The price is steep, but you're getting something no other EV offers.

“Besides being marketed as a spacious, three-row full-size EV truck, the R1S is also designed for off-the-pavement work... Sporting Rivian's All-Terrain package, my tester's 20-inch Pirelli tires never lost their footing while ascending some properly brutal ascents.”
