Buyer Warning All R1S years
Rivian R1S Years to AvoidThe weakest years — and the one you should buy instead
We reviewed all 4 Rivian R1S years and — unusually — found no years that meet our "avoid" criteria. The R1S is one of the rare models where every generation earns at least a moderate reliability score.
Good news
Every R1S year we analyzed scores at least 70/100.
Your decision is less about "which to avoid" and more about "which is the absolute best buy." Start with the highest-scoring year below.
