2021 Rivian R1S Electric SUV Arrives To Join Truck Sibling

Earlier this week,Rivian revealed its all-electric R1T truckto the world and today is SUV day. Meet the Rivian R1S, an electric SUV that rides on the same platform and shares all general mechanics with its truck sibling. Think of it like this: same chassis, different bodies. And that's just fine with us considering theR1Tboasts an impressive 410 mile range (exactly 10 miles more than the truck) and powered by a total of four 197 hp electric motors, one at each wheel.

Also like the truck, it features the same 180 kWh battery pack as well as the 135 kWh unit with a 300-mile range. A 105 kWh with a shorter range will arrive in about a year's time. Also convenient for future owners is that 200 miles of range can be achieved in only 30 minutes of charging.

输出功率是754马力和826磅英尺of torque. Zero to 60 mph? Try 3 seconds flat, and less than 7 seconds to 100 mph. Top speed is clocked at 120 mph. Compared to the truck, however, towing capacity is down significantly from 11,000 pounds to 7,700 pounds.

However, Rivian adds the SUV weighs 44 pounds less than the truck while still retaining the same 14.4 inches of ground clearance and water fording depth of 29.4 inches. It's also 15 inches shorter in length than the truck and the wheelbase was also shortened. There's also the same adaptive dampers and an adjustable suspension for a comfortable ride in a range of conditions.
