Electric vehicle maker Rivian has launched its second-generation quad-motor R1S and R1T models, with deliveries of the Launch Edition set to begin later this month.
The new Quad variant features four motors—one at each wheel—producing a combined 1,025 horsepower and 1,198 lb-ft of torque.
The company claims a 0–60 mph time of 2.5 seconds for the R1T and 2.6 seconds for the R1S, with both vehicles completing a quarter mile in 10.5 seconds and reaching a top speed of 130 mph.
R1T pricing for the Gen 2 Quad begins at $115,990 in the US and C$190,990 in Canada, while the R1S starts at $121,990 (C$201,990).
The Launch Edition models, which include additional features and exclusive design options, are priced at $119,990 for the R1T and $125,990 for the R1S.
Range is estimated at up to 374 miles (EPA), or 400 miles in Conserve mode, powered by the brand’s Max Pack battery. Charging is supported via the North American Charging Standard (NACS).
The Launch Edition reintroduces Rivian’s signature Launch Green paint, and includes upgraded interior trims such as Brown Ash Wood, Driftwood, or Walnut Wood.
Also bundled are the Sound + Vision and Darkout packages, an air compressor, off-road underbody protection, and lifetime access to Rivian’s Autonomy Platform+ and Connect+.
A new off-road feature, Kick Turn—designed to help rotate the vehicle in place on low-traction surfaces—will debut in September and will be exclusive to Quad variants.
Rivian says the feature takes advantage of the vehicle’s tightly integrated drivetrain and proprietary torque control software.
“Quad delivers instant power, independently adjusting torque at each wheel for precise traction control in all conditions,” the company said on its website.
Last month, Rivian unveiled the prices for the 2026 iterations of its two models.
The 2026 R1S Dual-Motor Standard variant will start at $76,990, while the 2026 R1T pickup begins at $70,990. However, pricing details for the Quad-Motor iterations have not been revealed.
Last week, Rivian reported second quarter deliveries of 10,661 units. The figures showed a 22.7% drop year over year.
The company reiterated its 2025 delivery guidance and expects figures to range between 40,000 and 46,000 vehicles, indicating it estimates to deliver between 20,699 and 26,699 in the second half of the year.
Rivian noted that “production was limited during the second quarter,” when it manufactured 5,979 vehicles, down 37.8% year over year, “in preparation for model year 2026 vehicles expected to launch later this month.”
The automaker’s R2 SUV, priced from $45,000, is scheduled to arrive in the first half of 2026.
