Upcoming Rivian’s Gen 2 R1 Quad Is Ready to Redefine Electric Performance

The future of electric performance is knocking—and it roars. Rivian’s Gen 2 R1 Quad is no longer just a rumor; it’s a street-ready powerhouse that promises to shake up the EV world.

A New Era of Power, Built In-House
Say goodbye to Bosch and hello to Rivian’s own quad-motor system—designed, engineered, and unleashed entirely in-house. The numbers? Mind-bending. We're talking 1,025 horsepower and 1,198 lb-ft of torque, delivering a 0–60 mph sprint in just 2.5 seconds. Quarter-mile? You’re crossing it in 10.5 seconds flat. This isn’t just acceleration—it’s propulsion.

But it’s not just straight-line speed. With active torque vectoring across all four wheels and a staggered performance tire setup—275/50R22 up front, 305/45R22 in the rear—the Gen 2 R1 Quad is engineered to carve corners with precision. And yes, Launch Mode comes standard. Buckle up.

Elevated Inside and Out
Inside, the Gen 2 Quad introduces Rivian’s premium Ascend interior, available in three striking palettes: Black Mountain, Ocean Coast, and Slate Sky. The cabin feels more refined, more focused—built for both performance and comfort.

On the outside, it’s all in the details. Exclusive blue accents, a reimagined Gear Guard badge, and a fresh 22-inch wheel design signal that this isn’t your average R1. It’s the evolution.

Range and Color That Break the Mold
With the 149 kWh Max Pack, Rivian estimates an impressive 355 miles of range, giving you muscle without compromise. And speaking of bold moves, spy shots of a deep metallic purple Gen 2 R1S Quad rolling through California—with bronze wheels and a matching badge—suggest Rivian’s stepping up its color game too. If this shade makes it to production, it’s going to turn heads everywhere.

The Flagship Is Here
Starting at $115,900, the Gen 2 R1 Quad isn’t just another trim—it’s a declaration. A statement that Rivian isn’t here to play catch-up. It’s setting the bar.

Are you excited for the Rivian R1 Quad?

Great specs! The two things I find disappointing is the range and charging speed. I was hoping for more from both. I assume the 355 range is in conserve. I live where there are fewer chargers and slower fast chargers once you get away from interstates.

This feels made up and a mash up of old info and speculation? A max battery pack with 149kWh usable capacity would be awesome though!
This. Doubt any of this is official, just speculative fun being had by the FB group moderator. And there's not a single comment on the FB post.

I agree that this just seems like old info repackaged but I am happy every time the new quad is brought up or talked about as I think the more discussion about it the better to signal to Rivian that this is what we want and that many of us are waiting on it.

Not a fan of the purple. I hope that they will have some right off the lot with the stealth PPF or even better flat plaint.

Original G1 crew looking like we got a steal more and more every day. Although I’d be all over a new G2 quad if money wasn’t a consideration, especially with better range.

Do you happen to have any more details about the press event that you could share?
Someone made a very brief mention of it in the subreddit yesterday. You won't find more. Embargo means those invited shouldn't even talk about being invited.

I doubt range is significantly better. Tri-Max/Dune is only 16 mi more than Gen 1 Quad-Large (34.1" AT). We won't see significant range increase unless battery chemistry change significantly (i.e. solid state or another).

"Club Rivian" is known for siphoning content from other content developers while trying to pass it off as their own with no reference or acknowledgement to original source.
Yup, every word was right from Rivitracker
