The 2024 rivian r1s adventure dual motor perf max pack is the most potent version of the company’s electric SUV. It packs a pair of electric motors in front and rear, producing up to 835 horsepower for a 0-60 time of 3.4 seconds. With a full charge, it has a range of 400 miles. Rivian sells it with a variety of battery packs to increase that range incrementally, and it has a 220-kilowatt DC fast charger for a top-off in less than an hour.

Rivian uses a unique method of construction for its electric motors. Instead of inserting woven or braided stator windings radially into the motor, it places 240 hairpins of 13 different shapes axially into the frame and robotically welds them together. This allows the motors to be more compact, and it also eliminates the need for brushes. The result is a smoother, quieter motor than the competition, and it’s well-insulated from road noise at highway speeds.

Other premium features in the R1S include synthetic leather upholstery, a panoramic sunroof, heated front and second-row seats, and a 19-speaker Meridian sound system. A retractable cargo tray and a built-in air compressor for off-road tires and bikes round out the package. Rivian’s standard Driver Plus suite of safety features includes automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, active lane control, blind-spot monitors, and a surround-view camera system.

With the rear seat folded down, the Rivian offers 46.7 cubic feet of cargo space. There are also two moveable tie-downs in the rear cargo area, and a deep center console with twin 120-volt power outlets and an additional air compressor.
