Introduction
The American automaker Rivian has just revealed a major update to its R1S SUV for the 2027 generation. Among the new features, the six‑seat configuration with captain’s chairs stands out as the most requested option by customers.
Why this demand?
Modern families are looking for comfort and flexibility. Captain’s chairs provide individual space, better visibility, and easier access to the third row, meeting the expectations of a discerning audience.
New Interior Configuration of the R1S
The 2027 edition now offers two seating layouts: the classic three‑seat bench in the second row or a six‑seat layout with captain’s chairs. The latter is available on all trim levels, starting at an additional $1,500.
Technical Features
Each captain’s chair comes with an individual armrest that folds away when not in use, as well as a cup holder released by pressure integrated into the seat base. The seats are heated, foldable and feature full anchor points for child seats.
Enhanced Comfort and Ergonomics
The captain’s chairs deliver superior comfort thanks to an adjustable reclining backrest and lumbar support. Additionally, the passage between the second and third rows is wide enough for passengers to glide through without adjusting their seats.
User Experience
The ergonomics are designed to reduce fatigue on long trips. Integrated heating and premium materials create a warm ambiance even in extreme weather conditions.
Cargo Space and Versatility
When the third row is folded down, a spacious passage allows for transporting long items such as skis or surfboards without compromising passenger comfort. This flexibility makes the R1S an ideal vehicle for family adventures.
List of Benefits
- Heated and adjustable captain’s chairs
- Integrated pressure‑released cup holder
- Wide passage between rows
- Expandable cargo space
Additional Options and Packages
The Sound + Vision option, required to enjoy the captain’s chairs, costs between $2,500 and $4,500 depending on the trim level. This package includes a high‑end audio system and advanced connectivity.
Impact on Total Price
Adding the captain’s chairs modestly increases the R1S’s starting price but remains competitive compared to other electric SUVs. Customers can thus tailor their vehicle to meet specific needs.
Conclusion and Call to Action
“The 2027 R1S redefines family road comfort, with an interior configuration that finally meets the highest expectations.”
