The engine

Quad-Motor Electric

Quad-Motor Electric

Rivian's quad-motor setup gives each wheel its own electric motor, enabling brutal acceleration, true tank-turn-adjacent control, and astonishing off-road wheel articulation and traction.

Built by the EV startup that beat the legacy makers to market with an electric adventure truck, the quad-motor system is engineered for both supercar pace and serious trail capability.
