Rivian’s 2027 changes include its No. 1 most-requested feature

Rivian 2027款车型更新：加入呼声最高的头号功能

It’s time for Rivian’s changeover from model year 2026 to 2027, and the electric vehicle startup has decided to take a page from its recently released R2 SUV and apply it to the company’s larger, more expensive R1 line. Rivian 即将从 2026 款过渡到 2027 款，这家电动汽车初创公司决定借鉴其近期发布的 R2 SUV 的设计思路，并将其应用到公司更大、更昂贵的 R1 系列中。

The changes aren’t massive—the R1 got a refresh in 2024 that saw the R1S SUV and R1T pickup each get some comprehensive re-engineering with new powertrain options, a new electronic architecture, and new batteries. But among them is the No. 1 most requested feature by Rivian R1S customers, the automaker told Ars: captain’s chairs for the second row. 此次变动并不算巨大——R1 系列在 2024 年刚刚经历过一次改款，当时 R1S SUV 和 R1T 皮卡在动力总成、电子架构和电池方面都进行了全面的重新设计。但据 Rivian 向 Ars 透露，此次更新中包含了一项 R1S 客户呼声最高的头号功能：第二排独立船长椅（captain’s chairs）。

The six-seat interior is an alternative to a middle bench, and the Rivian captain’s chair looks thoughtfully designed, with a hidden cupholder that I’m not sure I’ve seen on any other SUV before. The chairs are also spaced so it’s easy to get to the third row, or use that volume between them for skis, snowboards, or surfboards. 这种六座布局是中间连体座椅之外的另一种选择。Rivian 的船长椅设计十分考究，配有一个隐藏式杯架，据我所知，这在其他 SUV 上还未曾见过。座椅之间的间距也经过精心设计，方便乘客进入第三排，或者利用中间的空间放置滑雪板、单板或冲浪板。

Rivian has also changed the trims, bringing them into line with the offer structure on the recently released R2. Instead of choosing from Dual, Tri, or R1s, Rivian is now calling them Premium and Performance; Quad stays Quad. But the base price for each stays the same: The R1T still starts at $79,990 and the R1S at $83,990. Rivian 还调整了车型配置命名，使其与近期发布的 R2 结构保持一致。不再使用 Dual（双电机）、Tri（三电机）或 R1s 的叫法，而是改称为 Premium（高级版）和 Performance（性能版）；Quad（四电机版）则保持不变。但各车型的起售价保持不变：R1T 起售价仍为 79,990 美元，R1S 为 83,990 美元。

But the technical specs haven’t changed. Premium R1s still have the same 329-mile (530 km) range, with a larger battery as an option that increases range to 410 miles (660 km) for the R1S and 420 miles (675 km) for the R1T. Power is still 533 hp (397 kW), upgradable to 655 hp (488 kW). And you still have a choice of the same two interiors (now named Black Mountain and Ocean Coast), although only the black one can be specified with the middle bench seat. 技术规格方面没有变化。Premium 版 R1 的续航里程仍为 329 英里（530 公里），并可选装更大容量的电池，将 R1S 的续航提升至 410 英里（660 公里），R1T 提升至 420 英里（675 公里）。动力输出仍为 533 马力（397 kW），可升级至 655 马力（488 kW）。内饰依然提供两种选择（现更名为 Black Mountain 和 Ocean Coast），不过只有黑色内饰版本可选装中间的连体座椅。

Captain’s chairs add $1,500 on top of the required $2,500 Sound+Vision package, or $4,500 if you want the Ocean Coast interior (which also includes the Sound+Vision package). 选装船长椅需在 2,500 美元的 Sound+Vision 套件基础上额外支付 1,500 美元；若选择 Ocean Coast 内饰（该内饰已包含 Sound+Vision 套件），则需额外支付 4,500 美元。

The Performance R1s feature Rivian’s tri-motor powertrain, still with 850 hp (634 kW) and a range of 371 miles (597 km). And the R1 Quads keep their name together with the same powertrain specs. There are still three interior trim options with the new names: Black Mountain, Ocean Coast, and Slate Sky. Here, the bench seat is only available with the black interior, with black captain’s chairs adding $1,500. The other two interiors are only available in the six-seat configuration; Ocean Coast will cost $4,000, and Sky Slate will cost $4,500. Performance 版 R1 搭载 Rivian 的三电机动力系统，功率仍为 850 马力（634 kW），续航里程为 371 英里（597 公里）。R1 Quad（四电机版）保留了原名，动力规格也保持不变。内饰依然提供三种新命名选项：Black Mountain、Ocean Coast 和 Slate Sky。其中，连体座椅仅适用于黑色内饰，选装黑色船长椅需加价 1,500 美元。另外两种内饰仅提供六座布局；Ocean Coast 选装价为 4,000 美元，Sky Slate 为 4,500 美元。

Additionally, there’s a new Esker silver paint that replaces the old LA Silver Rivian previously offered, and a new 20-inch all-season tire and wheel for the R1T that better balances on- and off-road performance. 此外，新车还提供了一种名为 Esker 的银色车漆，取代了此前提供的 LA Silver；R1T 还配备了全新的 20 英寸全季轮胎和轮毂，能更好地平衡公路与越野性能。
