Why the Rivian R1S Luxury SUV is Winning Over Customers with Its Offroad Capabilities and Stylish Design
The Rivian R1S is a luxury SUV that has been gaining traction as an alternative to off-roading machines. It boasts the longest range of any all-wheel drive electric vehicle, with up to 300 miles per charge. Many people are choosing it as a capable AWD luxury land yacht instead of a rock crawler.
One customer ordered an R1S LE configured ElCap/Black Forest on 22s to replace their Jeep GC. They needed a third row and liked the performance specs, but didn't want to pay for a Tesla Model X. The customer is looking forward to taking road trips in the car, camping and hoteling, with outdoor activities being the focus.
Another customer was replacing their wife's 2015 BMW X5 with an R1S Adv package with standard 21" road wheel. This customer was planning on switching to EVs even before California’s $5/gallon+ gas prices. They were looking for a three-row SUV that had better styling than the Model X, and one that wasn't too expensive.
A third customer who test drove an EV version of the I-Pace found it fun to drive, but too small for their aging 5-11 frame. They opted for the Rivian R1S instead because of its 7 seats/space and more offroad capability.
Finally, another customer replaced their 2006 Lincoln Navigator with an R1S or Hummer SUV EV after driving it just over 100,000 miles. They wanted something bigger and with 4 wheel drive capabilities for their sandy property, but also wanted to stop visiting fossil fuel stations ASAP.
Overall, many customers have chosen the Rivian R1S as a luxury SUV due to its long range, AWD capabilities, spacious interior and stylish design. With its impressive features, it is no surprise why so many people are opting for this luxurious ride.
