The seven-passenger 2022 Rivian R1S sport-utility vehicle will be the second production model from Rivian, an upstart electric vehicle manufacturer based in California. The first-ever R1S takes direct aim at the Tesla Model X, which is the only other three-row all-electric SUV currently available. The R1S will also be less expensive than the Model X when it goes on sale. The R1S shares many of its attributes with the R1T pickup. Like the R1T, it offers a 128.9-kWh battery pack that the EPA estimates is good for 316 miles of driving per charge. The R1S will be sold directly to consumers, although Rivian says that it also will set up a network of service centers and Tesla-like stores.

What's New for 2022?

Rivian is starting off by delivering orders of the Launch Edition. For 2022, the R1S is only offered with a quad-motor setup and a 128.9-kWh "Large" battery. Rivian also significantly raised the price of 2022 R1S models, a move that initially impacted people who made reservations before March 1, 2022, but the company later backtracked that specific decision in the wake of customer backlash. Next year, a more affordable, entry-level Explore model is expected to join the lineup. A new dual-motor configuration making over 600 horsepower will enter production, too, alongside a smaller standard battery (dual-motor models only) and a larger "Max" battery pack (quad-motor models only).

Kia's burgeoning electric vehicle lineup is set to expand to include the EV9 SUV, which could be the electrified Telluride we didn't even know we wanted. The EV9 will share a platform with the upcoming Hyundai Ioniq 7 and should come with either rear- or all-wheel drive, with the latter version using dual electric motors. In the brand’s smaller EV6 SUV, the dual-motor setup makes up to 576 horsepower. Driving range is said to be as high as 300 miles per charge, but Kia hasn't released information about the EV9's battery size or motors.

What's New for 2024?
The EV9 is an all-new nameplate for the Kia brand and the next in the company’s plan to have 11 new electric vehicles for sale by 2026. We expect to see a production version o the EV9 debut sometime in 2022 with deliveries to customers in 2023.
