Rivian Quad-Motor: Gen 1, Tri-Motor and Gen 2 Quad

EPA's only 2022 R1T and R1S entries are four-motor vehicles. Rivian's Gen 1 Quad system uses two drive units, each with one motor per wheel: a 415-hp, 413 lb-ft front unit and a 420-hp, 495 lb-ft rear unit, for 835 hp and 908 lb-ft combined and 0–60 in as quick as 3.0 seconds. Independent control of each wheel gives true four-wheel torque vectoring.

EPA lists 2022–2023 Quad trucks without a motor label (four motors in the data); 2024 entries are named 'Quad Large'. Range ran 274–328 miles depending on wheels. The 2022–2024 Quad Large carries Rivian's longest battery warranty: 8 years or 175,000 miles.[1][16][10][6][7][17]

The second-generation R1 added an all-new Tri-Motor: two motors at the rear, one in front, 850 hp, 0–60 in 2.9 seconds in the R1T and an EPA-estimated 371 miles. Rivian said it offered more power and range than the Gen 1 Quad. It launched from $99,900 (R1T) and $105,900 (R1S); for 2027 the Tri-Motor is sold as the Performance trim.[2][3]

The second-generation Quad, which Rivian began delivering in the second quarter of 2025, uses two new in-house drive units, each with two oil-cooled motors. It makes 1,025 hp and 1,198 lb-ft, runs 0–60 in as quick as 2.5 seconds and the quarter mile in 10.5 seconds in an R1T with Launch Mode, and has an EPA-estimated range up to 374 miles (up to 400 miles in Conserve mode, which can disconnect the rear drive unit).

Quad-exclusive software includes Kick Turn for tight off-road turns. For 2027 Quad remains the top R1 trim at $115,990 for the R1T and $121,990 for the R1S.[4][18][3][19][5]

Every Quad-Motor R1T, Gen 1 or Gen 2, is rated to tow 11,000 lbs with a weight-distributing hitch; every R1S is rated 7,700 lbs. Gen 2 Quad models carry an 8-year/150,000-mile battery and drive-system warranty.[19][17]
