Rivian rolls out RivianOS 2 and refreshes R1 lineup

Overview

Rivian has launched RivianOS 2, its largest software update to date, designed to unify the software stack across R1 and R2 vehicle lineups. The update features a redesigned user interface with a vertical status bar, reorganized settings, and a global search function. Due to hardware differences, newer R2 and second-generation R1 models utilize Unreal Engine 5 for high-fidelity 3D visualizations, while first-generation R1 models use Unreal Engine 4 to ensure responsiveness. Navigation enhancements include real-time route alerts for speed cameras and police activity via Google Maps. Rivian is also introducing ‘Connect+’, a subscription service priced at $14.99 per month or $149.99 per year, which provides access to features like a dedicated weather application and the Mobile Live Trips routing tool.

In its vehicle lineup, Rivian unveiled refreshed 2027 R1S and R1T models. The R1S SUV now offers a six-seat configuration with second-row captain’s chairs to improve third-row access. To align the R1 series with the upcoming R2, Rivian is simplifying its trim structure; motor-count-based names (Dual, Tri, and Quad) are being replaced by three curated tiers: Premium, Performance, and the Quad halo trim. The refresh also introduces a new ‘Esker Silver’ exterior color.

Previously, Rivian expanded a recall for 31,711 R1S and R1T models due to faulty turn signal lamps and reported strong second-quarter earnings. The company continues to advance its Autonomy+ program and prepare for the R2 mid-size SUV launch.
