Rivian R1T Performance Overview
Rivian’s R1T performance profile spans 2022 to 2025, covered here by 14 verified tests across four model years. Over that run, the pickup has remained entirely electric, with output ranging from 665 to 1,025 hp and a consistently quick baseline. The first widely tested version, the 2022 Launch Edition (4'6.1" Bed)(21" Wheels Large Pack), established the early benchmark at 3.0 seconds to 60 mph, while later 2025 Dual Motor Adventure Performance examples ranged from 3.4 seconds with the 22" Wheels Max Pack to 3.3 seconds with the 20" All-Terrain package.
Through the middle of its short production span, the R1T’s performance character broadened rather than changing generations, with different battery and wheel combinations producing small but measurable shifts in acceleration. A 2025 Tri Max delivered 2.9 seconds to 60 mph, showing the step beyond the original quad-motor launch tune, and the average across all recorded tests stands at 3.11 seconds with an 11.61-second quarter-mile at 113.4 mph.
At the top of the current lineup, the 2025 Quad Ascend (4'6.1" Bed)(22" Wheels Max Pack) now defines the model’s ceiling with an all-time best 2.5-second 0-60 run and a class-leading-for-this-nameplate 10.4-second quarter-mile at 128.6 mph. As of 2025, that version is the quickest R1T yet tested.

How we verify Rivian R1T performance data
We include only independently published road-test results from automotive publications. Manufacturer-claimed 0–60 times are excluded unless clearly labeled. When multiple publications test the same Rivian R1T trim, each run is listed separately — weather, tires, surface, rollout, and instrumentation all affect results.
