R1 Tri-Motor

Where power and performance elevate every adventure

Product

Rivian’s newest addition to the R1 lineup is a perfect blend of power and performance with considered design and features to match.

The second generation R1 vehicles brought many changes to our flagship — over 600 to be exact. Among them was the addition of an all-new variant: the Tri-Motor. Tri-Motor was purpose-built to offer an elevated take on adventure, offering more power beyond Dual and more range than Quad, while immersing passengers in premium interior details that elevate the experience.



Power and Performance Anywhere

Tri-Motor packs two motors in the rear and one in front for exceptional capability both on and off-road. All motors on all Rivian vehicles are now designed, engineered and manufactured fully in-house offering total control and upgradability over time via software updates.

“While developing the Gen 2 R1, we wanted to offer something new in our lineup. The Tri-Motor brings a unique mix of power, performance, capability and range that is better than the Gen 1 Quad, while elevating the interior cabin with our new Ascend interior trim. This is such a great vehicle.”

RJ Scaringe Rivian Founder & CEO

Tri-Motor offers 850 horsepower with an EPA-estimated range of 371 miles.1 In Conserve Mode, the estimated range is up to 405 miles and offers an automatic rear disconnect ensuring AWD performance is always available, but intuitively turns off when driving demand doesn't require it — helping you maximize range when you need it, and performance when you want it.

Tri-Motor also marks the debut of Launch Mode on the new R1, propelling R1T to 60 mph in just 2.9 seconds. When in Sport Mode, drivers can access Launch Mode from the drive mode screen, by selecting the checkered flag image and sliding up to activate. Launch Mode will capture 0-60 mph and 0-100 mph times, top speed and peak g-force all on the driver information screen — and will also capture your launch experience via the front camera.2



Thoughtful Design and Crafted Accents

Tri-Motor ushers in a whole new level of interior detail for R1. Named “Ascend” this new premium interior includes quilted seats, extended stitching, cut and sew material on the entire door panels, center console and instrument panel, plaid detailing throughout with plaid floormats and a new deep bronze finish on the interior brightwork. Even the rear of the driver and passenger seat are wrapped with a unique new fabric.

Slate Sky Premium Interior with Walnut Wood


“No detail was overlooked when we designed Tri’s interior. We wanted to create something elevated yet very inviting. It all started with plaid floor mats when incorporating the plaid details in the Ascend interior. If you look at the side of the headrests, the backside of the grab handles, the back of the seat, even the bands on the storage panels in the door, all have subtle touches of plaid. While it may not be immediately seen, it’s that attention to detail that sets us apart and elevates Rivian.”

Jeff Hammoud Rivian Chief Design Officer

Ascend offers three unique interior color options, elevating the journey with inviting materials, meticulous craft and elevated upgrades. The evolved colors and finishes pull inspiration from the natural world around us, while the eye-catching details like bronze accents and woven plaid add visual interest and warm texture throughout the interior.

The Black Mountain with Brown Ash Wood interior is inspired by rocky peaks dotted with trees, offering nature-inspired colors and warm inviting tones. The available Ocean Coast with Driftwood brings a lighter, airier feel to the cabin and was inspired by the luminous beaches of northern California, where sandy shores, cool skies and weathered driftwood meet. The all-new Slate Sky with Walnut option offers two-tone seats and door panels, taking cues from overcast beach days, pairing calming greys with plaid details and walnut wood accents for a refined experience.

New colors aren’t just for the interior. On the outside, Rivian Yellow denotes the Tri-Motor configuration behind the emblems and on the brake calipers. An all-new Storm Blue exterior color option meshes the deep gray blue of thunderclouds with a subtle metallic gloss that shifts with the light.



Tri-Motor brings with it a whole set of included upgrades:

Dynamic Glass Roof: The Dynamic Glass Roof goes from clear to opaque with the simple tap of a button, offering panoramic views when you want them, and more shade and privacy when you need it.
Rivian Premium Audio: A new in-house developed sound system that features 960-watt output and 18 speakers throughout the cabin of R1S along with Dolby Atmos® — making every seat the best in the house. Dolby Atmos® is an immersive sound experience that reveals more depth, clarity, and details in your favorite music and podcasts.3
Darkout Package: From badging all around the vehicle to even the skid plate, the new Darkout package offers a sportier, more premium look and feel to the R1’s exterior.
Air Compressor: Offering up to 150 PSI with a precise digital display, the built-in compressor has a hose that extends to reach all four tires — offering flexibility to air up your tires after an off-road adventure — or anything else that needs it.

The new R1 Tri-Motor is available now, with R1T starting at $99,900 and R1S starting at $105,900 at Rivian.com.

Footnote 11

Actual vehicle capability will depend on selected options and trim. Torque, horsepower, and acceleration timing estimates vary based on battery, tire, drive modes, vehicle load and weather. All range estimates are based on a configuration with 22" road wheels and tires. Official EPA values are noted — some range estimates are preliminary estimates based on the EPA test cycle and are not official EPA values. The EPA estimates range through a series of standardized lab tests that mimic real world conditions. Factors including tires, drive modes, HVAC settings and accessories can all have an impact on range.

Footnote 22

Launch Mode is designed for use on a closed circuit track in dry road conditions. Do not use Launch Mode on public roadways where traffic or pedestrians are present. It is the driver’s responsibility to drive safely and pay attention to the road. Rivian does not endorse reckless or dangerous driving. Drive with caution.

Footnote 33

Rivian Premium Audio comes standard with our Ascend interior and is an option available for purchase for all Dual-Motor vehicles. Content in Dolby Atmos® can be found on Apple Music, Tidal and Audible. Integrated Apple Music, Tidal and Audible apps are available in your vehicle with a Connect+ subscription. Separate content subscriptions required for third-party media apps.
