Rivian R1S
The Rivian R1S undergoes a significant evolution for 2025. A key highlight is the addition of a tri-motor configuration producing 850 horsepower. Meanwhile, the four-motor R1S gets a boost to 1,025 horsepower. Three batteries are available, offering anywhere between 435-660 km of range, according to Rivian. The large electric SUV is otherwise known for offering a spacious interior and state-of-the-art infotainment system. Too bad the company still has so few retail and service centres in Canada.
