RIVIAN R1S BIGGER, FASTER & MORE POWERFUL
New Quad-Motor
Big news for the 2026 Rivian R1S lineup is the introduction of a Quad model with four electric motors. With this addition, the 2026 R1S is now offered in four main trims — Dual Standard, Dual, Tri, and Quad — with prices ranging from $78,885 to $127,885.
The 2026 R1S ranges in power from the Dual Standard with 533 horsepower and a 0-60 time of 4.5 seconds all the way to the Quad Launch Edition with 1,025 horsepower and a 0-60 time of 2.6 seconds. That number is staggering for a full-size family SUV.
Specs & Features
The R1S is a midsize SUV measuring 200.8 inches long, 88.4 inches wide, and 77.3 inches tall. It can seat up to seven people, with third-row passengers getting 32.8 inches of legroom. Total cargo capacity reaches up to 104.7 cubic feet, and the front trunk alone holds 11.1 cubic feet. All 2026 R1S models are rated to tow up to 7,700 pounds.
On the tech side, the 2026 R1S comes with a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, a 15.6-inch touchscreen, a rear 6.8-inch touchscreen, Amazon Alexa, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and eight USB-C ports. Rivian includes a trial of its Rivian Autonomy Platform+ system with every purchase, which brings lane change on command, Enhanced Highway Assist, and future improvements.
The R1S also earned a prestigious safety accolade: it received a 2025 TOP SAFETY PICK+ from the IIHS for the 2026 model year.
The New Quad: An Off-Road Weapon with Supercar Performance
The quad-motor model rejoins the Rivian R1 lineup for 2026 with even greater output than before. Rivian’s most powerful models can accelerate to 60 mph in as little as 2.5 seconds. The Quad gets two exclusive features: Kick Turn and RAD Tuner.
RAD is short for Rivian Adventure Department. This tuner was originally an engineering tool used to create and refine the various drive settings. Starting with the mode of your choice, you can then make more granular adjustments to things like accelerator response and regen while unlocking the ability to adjust front/rear torque split and allowable wheel slip. It’s a feature that blurs the line between production SUV and motorsport
