This weekend, Reddit user papermodelplane shared their initial impressions of the 2025 Rivian R1S Gen 2 Tri Max, featuring the Ocean Coast + Driftwood interior. After 48 hours of ownership, the Ascend interior package with its premium materials and design upgrades stands out as a major highlight.
The Ascend interior is a significant upgrade over previous models, replacing much of the plastic with vegan leather throughout the door panels, center console, and steering wheel. One notable improvement is the heather gray fabric replacing the plastic seatback shells, creating a more premium feel, especially for passengers in the rear.
The Driftwood trim adds elegance with its grayish-blue wood grain, perfectly complementing the Ocean Coast vegan leather. Plaid stitching patterns across the seats and bronze metallic accents around the dash, door cards, and seat controls further elevate the design. These thoughtful details give the cabin a sophisticated, cohesive look.
