Rivian R1S Performance Overview

Rivian’s three-row R1S has been a battery-electric performance SUV throughout its 2022 to 2025 production span, with outputs ranging from 600 to 1,025 hp. Across 9 verified tests spanning 2022 to 2025, every recorded example is electric, and the model’s measured 0-60 times run from 2.6 to 3.8 seconds. Early testing set the tone in 2022, when the Dual Launch Edition (22" Wheels Large-Pack) reached 60 mph in 3.1 seconds, establishing the first benchmark for the nameplate.

Through the same generation, Rivian expanded the R1S into multiple battery, wheel, and motor configurations, widening the spread between quickest-launching and more all-terrain-focused setups. Recent tests show that variation clearly: the 2025 Dual Adventure Performance (22" Wheels Standard) ran 0-60 in 3.0 seconds, while the 2025 Dual Adventure Performance (20" Wheels All-Terrain Max Pack) recorded 3.8 seconds to 60 mph and the quickest quarter-mile result at 10.5 seconds.

At the top of the current range, the 2025 Quad Ascend (22" Wheels Max-Pack) now defines the R1S peak with an all-time best 2.6-second 0-60 run, and the 2025 Tri Max (22" Wheels) follows closely at 2.9 seconds. As it stands today, the R1S remains an all-electric performance SUV with a current tested average of 3.14 seconds to 60 mph.
