Rivian launches revamped R1 series EVs

California-based EV manufacturer Rivian has just announced the second generation of its best-selling R1S all-electric mid-size SUV and its mid-size pickup truck, the R1T. The flagship models are receiving upgraded internals, with Rivian stating that over half the hardware on the vehicles has been replaced or upgraded, while the body design will remain the same on both. The R1S has become the 5th best-selling electric vehicle in the United States and remains Rivian's best-selling model, while the R1T has seen tremendous year-over-year sales growth since its launch in 2021 as Rivian strives to make headway in the competitive American pickup truck market. The 2025 models rolling off the line at the company's plant in Illinois will boast a number of internal changes that deliver massively increased computing power, range, and enhanced driver assistance features on select models.
