ever evolving, with new innovative ideas and approaches to everyday
vehicles. Rivian is now a household name, and is a company which
offers vehicles that they claim are made for the planet. Being
environmentally conscious seems to be important to the company.
Rivian advertises the R1S as, On road comfortable. Off-road
capable. Their product line is becoming more broad, from the R1T
pickup truck to the R1S like you see here, Rivian even offers
fleets of electric vehicles, and commercial electric vehicles, but
that's not why you're here. You're here to get information about
this stunning 2022 Launch Green R1S Launch Edition. Offered here is
the newest vehicle from Rivian's attractive product line, the R1S.
It's a handsome SUV finished in Launch Green Paint over a gray
interior. It's got all the top of the line Rivian bells and
whistles that will keep you going back for more. The Launch Green
Paint is a slightly lighter shade of green than the Forest Green
paint currently offered on the Adventure package. The Launch
Edition vehicles are no longer available, and are essentially a
special edition of the R1S. Launch Edition vehicles are the only
R1S vehicles that will come with the Launch Green paint and Launch
badged interior. As a Launch Edition, this R1S also comes with the
Premium Adventure Package, a larger battery pack, and the upgraded
22 Sport Bright wheels. As we mentioned earlier, the Launch Edition
is equipped with the Premium Adventure package, which offers some
nice interior options. Essentially it's the top of the line
interior, which has heated and cooled vegan leather seating
surfaces, chilewich floor mats, wood accents, and the Elevation
audio system from Meridian. In addition to all that, other features
include a heated steering wheel, recycled microfiber headliner,
forest edge ashwood trim, yellow accents, rear seat climate
control, and 2 large sunroofs. Plenty of seating for passengers
comes in the form of a 3 row seating configuration which offers a
40/20/40 folding middle row seat, which gives easy access to the
third row, and plenty of options to fold the seats for more cargo
room. As you would expect from a modern SUV there are plenty of
storage cubbies and cup holders, as well as personal device
charging locations, and even a removable Bluetooth speaker.
Controls for things like ride characteristics, sound system
settings, navigation, climate control, and even a car wash mode can
be found in the center screen on the dashboard. Thanks to the
absence of a torque band like a combustion engine, the electric
cars on the market are quite quick, and this R1S is no different.
Despite its size this vehicle is capable of a 0-60 time of just
over 3 seconds. As car enthusiasts, we find that pretty amazing.
Being in the vehicle and feeling a vehicle as big as this go that
fast is a unique feeling. No noise, no torque steer, no drama, yet
you feel your eyeballs being pushed back into your head, and your
internal organs being squished together. But it's all in good fun.
The acceleration capability is thanks to quad electric motors (one
at each wheel), which have a slightly different power rating from
the front to back motors. The front motors each have 415 horsepower
and 413 lb/ft of torque, while the rear motors 420 horsepower, and
495 lb/ft of torque. Keep in mind that a 2018 Porsche Carrera 4S
has 420 horsepower from its (one) twin turbocharged 6 cylinder
engine. Rivian claims the combination of the motors give this big
unit handling and acceleration capabilities of a sports car. Rivian
also mentions that it's capable of towing 7,700 lbs, and can climb
