Rivian is now shipping its electric trucks and SUVs with a tri-motor configuration, adding an extra power boost over the dual-motor version. The new 850 horsepower powertrain uses Rivian\u2019s new in-house Enduro motors, with one in the front axle and two in the rear axle.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
The new tri-motor setup underpins Rivian\u2019s newly redesigned Gen 2 models<\/a>, which launched earlier this year in just a dual-motor configuration. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n As reported by Inside EVs<\/em><\/a>, these 2025 Rivian models are the first from the company to get a tri-motor setup, as the previous generation only came in dual and quad-motor setups. Rivian will start shipping its Gen 2 quad-motor version early next year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Between the front and rear motors sits Rivian\u2019s new Max battery pack that\u2019s capable of taking the vehicle up to 405 miles on a single charge in conserve mode or 371 miles for all-purpose driving. The R1T Ascend Tri-Max starts at $99,900.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Tesla\u2019s Cybertruck, the top-selling all-electric truck right now, also has dual and tri-motor options. However, the latter \u201cCyberbeast\u201d model has a higher starting price of $113,990 compared to the Rivian. The EV market has a year-over-year uptick in sales, but electric trucks are still just a drop in the bucket<\/a> against EV cars and SUVs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
