The new R1S Max Pack consists of a dual-motor configuration that has been centered around Rivian’s own in-house drive unit. In a statement, the company said it had engineered the R1S Max Pack to improve performance both on and off-road. The vehicle’s range has been extended, so drivers are less likely to run out of juice and get stranded in the middle of nowhere. This is a bonus on the tarmac and a potential lifesaver off the beaten trail.
The vehicle is also capable of producing 700 ft-lbs torque, which helps its performance in multiple terrains and means the Rivian can now tow with the best of them. In terms of raw performance on a decent stretch of road, a Rivian sporting the R1S Max Pack will be able to go from zero to 60 in an eye-watering 3.5 seconds. It has achieved all of this without compromising on things like seating capacity. You’ll still be able to fit seven people in your Rivian.

RJ Scaringe, Rivian’s founder and CEO, broke the news on social media saying: “We’re going to be launching a max configuration for the R1S, and we’ll be able to do it where we maintain three-row seating,” before adding that he was excited about it and that he knows a lot of customers will be excited to get their hands on the new configuration, too. Deliveries of the Rivians with the R1S Max Pack are expected to begin this fall, though there are no details on pricing as things stand.
