Rivian R1S I gallery (2022–2023)

The first generation of the Rivian R1S electric SUV, built on the R1T platform and designed for family adventures.

The first generation of the Rivian R1S, launched in 2022, is a full-size electric SUV featuring three rows of seating. The vehicle utilizes the same skateboard platform as the R1T pickup, including a fully independent air suspension system and a quad-motor torque vectoring powertrain. The SUV measures 5100 mm in length, providing a spacious cabin for up to seven passengers while maintaining a significant cargo capacity. The model was specifically engineered with an emphasis on high off-road performance and wading capability.

The interior follows a minimalist design language, incorporating sustainable materials like real wood and vegan leather. The central console features a large touchscreen interface that controls the majority of vehicle functions, including climate and infotainment settings. During the first generation's production, Rivian continuously deployed over-the-air updates to improve energy efficiency and suspension behavior in off-road conditions. This version of the R1S established brand standards for comfort and off-road capability, becoming a popular choice for family adventures by successfully blending high-performance dynamics with practical utility.
