Rivian said it has changed more than half the hardware components for the second-generation products ahead of anticipated R2 models.
Rivian Automotive has redesigned its all-electric R1 pickup and SUV models to improve range, performance and computing power using Nvidia chips.
While the 2025 model-year vehicles do not outwardly look too different than the current models, Rivian said it has changed more than half the hardware components for the second-generation products and reengineered their batteries and electrical architectures, also known as the brains of a vehicle. Amid the most notable changes to the new vehicles is their computing power, which Rivian says delivers 10 times more performance than the previous system.
The California-based company will continue to offer three motor configurations — dual, tri and quad — as well as Standard, Max and Large battery packs, with top ranges of between 270 miles, 330 miles and 420 miles, respectively.Rivian said pricing for the second-generation R1S SUV will increase $1,000 from current models to start at $75,900, with top-end trimotor models starting around $106,000. Starting pricing for the R1T will remain the same at $69,900 but top $100,000 for trimotor.
