Everything We Know About the Gen 2 Rivian R1 Quad

Rivian’s Gen 2 R1 Quad is just around the corner and here’s everything we know about it.

Under the hood, the Gen 2 R1 Quad has an all-new in-house designed quad-motor system, replacing the Bosch motors from Gen 1. It cranks out a jaw-dropping 1,025 horsepower and 1,198 lb-ft of torque. That’s enough to launch it from 0 to 60 mph in just 2.5 seconds, with a quarter-mile time of 10.5 seconds. Thanks to torque vectoring at all four corners, this thing should handle like a dream.

It’s also getting a serious performance tire setup—275/50R22 up front and 205/45R22 in the rear—perfect for putting down all that power. Launch Mode is standard for those who want to experience its full potential.

Inside, the R1 Quad offers Rivian’s Ascend interior with three color options: Black Mountain, Ocean Coast, and Slate Sky. The exterior gets a little extra flair too, with blue accents and a custom Gear Guard badge that sets it apart.

There’s also a brand-new, exclusive 22-inch wheel design and a 149 kWh Max Pack for an estimated range of 355 miles.

But that’s not all—we’ve also spotted a purple Gen 2 R1S Quad cruising around California, hinting at new color options. This purple model featured a deep metallic finish with bronze-tinted wheels and a matching Gear Guard badge. It’s got people excited, and for good reason.

Starting at $115,900, the Gen 2 R1 Quad is aiming to be the top dog in the R1 lineup. We can’t wait to get our hands on one and see what it can really do.
