EV Channels Review
Doug DeMuro reviews the Rivian R1S, labeling it the most amazing electric SUV yet. He highlights its exceptional versatility, capable of supercar-like acceleration (0-60 in 3.2 seconds) and impressive off-road prowess, surpassing many dedicated off-road vehicles. The R1S offers standard three-row seating and a practical cargo area with unique features like a portable speaker and a built-in air compressor. DeMuro praises its distinctive boxy styling, innovative features such as the two-piece tailgate and camping mode, and advanced driver-assist systems. However, he notes drawbacks including manual folding rear seats, a slightly rough ride tuned for sport over comfort, and a less luxurious interior compared to ultra-high-end competitors. Despite these minor criticisms, the R1S achieves an exceptional DougScore of 74/100, tying the McLaren F1, due to its unparalleled ability to blend performance, utility, technology, and off-road capability into a single package.
