DESCRIPTION
Nik Miles takes the Rivian R1S for a spin and pushes it far beyond the pavement to see if this all-electric SUV lives up to the hype. With 835 horsepower, quad-motor torque vectoring, and a 0–60 time that embarrasses sports cars, the R1S is more than a family hauler—it’s an off-road beast in luxury disguise. In this full review, Nik breaks down the performance, charging realities, interior quirks, and why the R1S might be the most important American SUV since the Jeep Wagoneer. 🛞 On-road comfort? Check. 🌲 Off-road chops? Absolutely. ⚡ EV range? Up to 400 miles (depending on your battery). Is it worth the six-figure price tag? Nik doesn’t hold back. 👉 Subscribe for more real-world reviews, and let us know: Would you buy a Rivian over a Land Rover or Tesla? #RivianR1S #NikMiles #ElectricSUV #EVReview #OffRoadEV #Rivian #TestMiles
