2022 RIVIAN R1T: INSIDEEVS FIRST DRIVE REVIEW

EV Channels Review

InsideEVs' first drive review of the 2022 Rivian R1T highlights its exceptional capability in extreme off-road conditions, tackling challenging mountain terrain with ease thanks to its quad-motor setup and advanced suspension. The reviewer was particularly impressed by the truck's surprising on-road manners, describing it as car-like with tight steering and crisp cornering, all within a remarkably quiet cabin, even with aggressive all-terrain tires. While a pre-production software glitch prevented a precise range test, estimations suggest a real-world range around 314 miles based on a 2.4 miles/kWh consumption figure on flatter terrain. The review also touches upon practical features like the camp kitchen, tent option, and onboard air compressor, though notes some pre-production limitations. Overall, the R1T is lauded as a highly capable and versatile electric adventure vehicle that lives up to its billing.
