Rivian's 2027 changes include its No. 1 most-requested feature

Rivian has announced changes to its 2027 model year lineup, sticking closely to its recently released R2 SUV design. The company's largest and priciest vehicle, the R1, has received a refresh that brings it into line with the R2. One of the most requested features by R1S customers is now included: captain's chairs for the second row.

These chairs provide a comfortable seating option, with a hidden cupholder and enough space to accommodate skis, snowboards, or surfboards between them. The R1's trims have also been realigned with the R2's offer structure, replacing the Dual, Tri, and R1s options with Premium and Performance trims. The base prices for the R1T and R1S remain unchanged at $79,990 and $83,990, respectively.
