2025 RIVIAN R1S TRI & NEW DALLAS SPACE TOUR

EV Channels Review

The reviewer provides an in-depth look at the 2025 Rivian R1S Tri Motor, highlighting its significant mid-cycle refresh and the new powertrain options. The Tri Motor variant, starting at $105,900, boasts an estimated 370 miles of range and impressive acceleration, achieving 0-60 mph in 2.9 seconds with over 850 horsepower. The reviewer praises the distinctive styling, the functional and spacious front trunk, and the innovative tailgate design that doubles as a seating area. Inside, the R1S impresses with its luxurious materials, thoughtful touches like the integrated flashlight, and a premium ambiance, though the lack of physical controls and Apple CarPlay/Android Auto are noted drawbacks. The interior offers ample space, particularly in the second row with its tri-zone climate control and reclining seats. The third row is deemed usable for adults, comparable to competitors like the Kia EV9. The reviewer also tours the new Rivian Dallas space, emphasizing its family-friendly, lifestyle-oriented approach to car buying.
