    Cons

    Starting at CAD 94,000, the Rivian R1S is priced higher than most traditional SUVs, making it a premium option that may not be affordable for all buyers.
    While the adjustable air suspension improves off-road comfort, some drivers find the ride to be firmer than expected on paved roads, especially with the all-terrain tires.
    Although the Rivian R1S supports DC fast charging, Rivian’s charging network is still expanding, making long-distance travel more challenging in areas without a reliable EV charging infrastructure.
    Unlike many modern SUVs, the Rivian R1S infotainment system does not support Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, requiring users to rely solely on Rivian’s built-in software.
    While the third row is functional, it's best suited for children or short trips, as legroom is limited for adults.
