Rivian has introduced the 2027 R1T and R1S. The R1S gets second row captain's chairs for the first time, Esker Silver replaces LA Silver, and the trim names move from Dual, Tri, and Quad to Premium, Performance, and Quad to match R2. Here is what changed and what everything costs.
The R1T just took the Edmunds Top Rated Electric Truck award for 2026, its second win in a row, with a 7.9 rating and 390 miles in real-world range testing.
The R1 order menu is down to four configurations. Here is how Dual Large, Dual Max, Tri Max, and Quad Max compare across every color, wheel, interior, and drive mode, and which ones unlock as you move up the lineup.
Rivian has stopped selling the R1 Dual Standard on the R1T and R1S, ending the last LFP battery option in the R1 lineup and widening the price gap between R1 and R2.
Forest Edge is back for R1, but only as a $9,000 Dual R1 package that bundles the interior with 22" Sport Dark wheels, the Darkout Package, and Sound + Vision. It hasn't been orderable since around 2022, and it's limited time, so the green and wood crowd shouldn't sit on it.
Rivian topped Consumer Reports' Owner Satisfaction rankings for the third year in a row, but didn't pick up a single S&P Global Mobility loyalty award and slipped below average in J.D. Power's premium EV study. Same brand, three of the bigger industry surveys, three different stories, and the reason behind the gap is more interesting than the headlines suggest.
Rivian has added Half Moon Grey to the R1 lineup, a new color that debuted at last month's R2 Block Party event and is now available for the R1T and R1S. It replaces El Cap Granite, which was discontinued in February.
Rivian is rolling out a new magnetic wireless phone charger in the R1, and we have photos of it already installed in a production unit headed to a customer. The new charger uses two magnets to keep your phone locked in place, and we tested it firsthand to see what it's actually capable of.
Rivian is retiring the R1 Dual Standard configuration, but before it's gone for good, there's a lease deal worth knowing about. Get a 2026 R1 Dual Standard starting at $749/month for 36 months with $3,000 off, but lease approval is required by March 19 and delivery by March 31.
Rivian is offering 0% APR financing for the first time ever, giving very well-qualified buyers a rare chance to purchase a 2026 R1 with zero interest. Available for a limited time on select Dual, Tri, and Quad configurations, this deal could save buyers thousands, but timing and delivery deadlines apply.
