The Rivian R1S is the 3-row SUV from the electric adventure vehicle startup, following the R1T pickup. Customer deliveries began in late 2022, establishing a new category of premium, off-road capable family EVs. Early production was dominated by the Quad-Motor, Large pack Launch Edition, which came fully equipped with unique colors and badging.
Collectors and enthusiasts are drawn to the R1S for its blend of groundbreaking technology, minimalist design, and impressive performance. With up to 835 hp from its Quad-Motor setup and an adjustable air suspension, it offers sports car acceleration and serious trail-running ability. Early production models, particularly the Launch Edition, represent a significant milestone in the EV timeline.
The market for the R1S has cooled from its initial peak, where examples traded for well over MSRP. With 222 sales tracked and an average price of $88,157, the market has stabilized. Depreciation has made used examples a compelling alternative to buying new, with a wide price spread based on motor configuration, battery size, and options.
Buying Tips
- Verify the powertrain configuration. Early models are all Quad-Motor and Large pack, while later 2023 and 2024 models introduced Dual-Motor and Max pack options.
- Inspect for fit and finish issues. Early production vehicles can have inconsistent panel gaps and interior trim alignment, so a thorough visual inspection is critical.
- Test the infotainment system and check the software version. Rivian adds features and fixes bugs via over-the-air updates, so ensure the system is running recent software.
- Look for Launch Edition models. These first-run examples included unique Launch Green paint and special interior badging, making them more distinctive.
- Check the status of the factory warranty. The comprehensive warranty is 5 years/60,000 miles, while the battery and drivetrain are covered for 8 years/175,000 miles.
Prices from 222 recent sales range from $52,600 to $136,000, depending on year, mileage, and configuration.
