What is the name of the electric SUV produced by Rivian?

The story behind the answer

The electric SUV produced by Rivian is the Rivian R1S.

The R1S is a three-row, battery-electric sport utility vehicle built on Rivian’s “skateboard” platform, which integrates the battery pack, drive units, suspension, and other major components beneath the cabin. Rivian designed it as the SUV companion to the R1T electric pickup, with both vehicles sharing much of their underlying technology.

Rivian revealed the R1S and R1T in 2018, and R1S deliveries began in 2022. Depending on configuration, the SUV has been offered with dual- or quad-motor all-wheel drive, substantial ground clearance, and features aimed at off-road use. Its boxy shape and available three-row seating distinguish it from smaller electric crossovers.

A common mix-up is the Rivian R1T, which is the company’s pickup truck rather than its SUV. The R2 is a smaller, later-generation SUV, while the R3 is an even smaller vehicle family. Thus, among the listed Rivian models, R1S is the SUV designation.
