Recent news highlighted price adjustments and delivery shifts for Rivian’s R1T pickup and R1S SUV. For those eyeing the all-electric R1S SUV, especially a version packed with every available option, understanding the full cost is crucial. Let’s dive into configuring a “fully loaded” Rivian R1S to see just how high the price can climb.
Starting with the Rivian R1S configurator, we begin with the Adventure Package as our foundation, which sets the base price at $78,000. To enhance the exterior, the signature Rivian Blue paint is selected, adding $2,500 to the total. For wheels, we opt for the sporty 22-inch Sport Dark rims, an additional $3,500. Inside, the premium Ocean Coast interior theme is chosen, bringing a further $2,000 to the configuration.

To maximize performance, the Quad-Motor All-Wheel Drive system is a must. This upgrade now comes with a $6,000 price tag. Paired with it, we select the Large battery pack, also priced at $6,000, to ensure optimal range and capability for this electric SUV.
Now, let’s explore the accessories to truly load up this R1S. For the adventurous owner, the Yakima tree-person tent with cargo crossbars is added, a significant $3,100 option. To enhance off-road readiness, the reinforced underbody shield is included for $2,000. Practicality is also key, so we add the compact spare tire for $550 and all-weather floor mats for $225. For any unexpected situations, the off-road recovery kit ($600) and field kit ($150) are also included.

Finally, to complete the package, we consider charging and gear. The Rivian Wall Charger is added for $750, and for maximum utility, all available rooftop mounts are selected, totaling $1,140.

After configuring all these options, the total estimated price for a fully loaded Rivian R1S reaches $106,515. This price point places the fully optioned Rivian R1S in the same luxury EV bracket as competitors like the 2024 GMC Hummer EV SUV Edition 1, which starts at $105,595. Other comparable EVs in this price range include the refreshed Tesla Model X (around $110,490) and the Porsche Taycan 4S Cross Turismo (starting at $111,650), although it’s important to note these prices are before adding any options.

This positions the Rivian R1S as a premium electric SUV competing directly with other high-end EVs in the market, offering a blend of luxury, performance, and off-road capability at a significant price.
