R1S comparable to which models in Gas vehicles in size

But is it enough?

I’ve got 4 kids (yes they are mine, I think), so some might say more than enough.

I can't comment first-hand but after sitting in the R1T and comparing that to what I anticipate the 3rd row to be like (given the video RJ showed), I think that the third row will be Kid Zone only.

Just based on the eyeball test, the 3rd row does seem tight for two adults.

Here is my post from August but the numbers should still stand at this point. Going to have to sit in it.

For those who might be used to viewing these dimensions in inches, here is a comparison with the pre 2021 Tahoe (204") on a few dimensions (Edited with a few more to compare):

	R1S (202" L)	Tahoe (204" L)	Mercedes GLS (pre 2020-202" L)	BMW X7 (203.3" L)	Tesla MX
Effective Leg Room - Driver	41.4	45.3	40.3	39.8	41.2
Effective Leg Room - Second	36.7	39.0	38.5	37.6	38.4
Effective Leg Room - Third	32.8	24.8	35	33.3	NA
Shoulder Room - Driver	60.6	64.8	58.5	60	60.7
Shoulder Room - Second	58.9	65.1	58.3	58.1	56.8
Shoulder Room - Third	51.1	62.6	50.5	47.9	NA
Hip Room - Driver	54.9	60.8	NA	NA	55.6
Hip Room - Second	54.2	60.3	NA	NA	59
Hip Room - Third	42.8	49.3	NA	NA	NA
Head Room - Driver	41.1	42.8	41.2	41.9	41.7
Head Room - Second	39.7	38.7	40	39.9	40.9
Head Room - Third	38.6	38.1	38.9	36.6	NA

As with everything else, I think it will be important to to reserve judgement until you actually get to sit in it.

The leg room seems great for the 3rd row, probably cause its an EV and doesn't have drivetrain/transmission under the floor. The hip room is a bit surprising how small it is compared to the Tahoe since I believe they are just about the same width. Maybe their suspension system eats into the cabin space more than the Tahoe.

Not sure what this thread is trying to do. List similar sized vehicles based on external dimensions? Internal volume? Or asking the community for input?

If you are trying to provide a list of comparably sized ICE vehicles, perhaps compiling a table with LxWxH numbers like this would be helpful.

	Length (in)	Width (in)	Height (in)
R1S	200.8	81.8 (mirrors folded)	77.3
4Runner	191	76 (without mirrors)	72
Sequoia	205	80 (without mirrors)	77
Model X	198	79 (without mirrors)	66
Lexus GX	192	74 (without mirrors)	74

Also, would take these as a gain of salt as body shape makes a big difference. The Boxy shape of the Sequoia and R1S give them more interior volume than the Model X for example

Volvo XC90 | 195 | 79 (WOM) | 70

Depends. Length? Probably not. Radius? maybe!
