This car reviewer has revealed some of the hidden features of the Rivian R1S EV car.
As a three-row SUV, the Rivian R1S shares similar capabilities as its pickup counterpart (R1T).
It features decent off-road driving, a comfortable interior, distinctive exterior styling, impressive acceleration and range.
However, there are some hidden features you might not know about.

Rivian R1S hidden features
YouTuber Forrest Jones recently uploaded a video showcasing some of the hidden features of the Tri-motor Rivian R1S.
The first thing he shows off is the removable wheel cover on the car.
“If I don’t like this look, I can take [the wheel cover] off and I have a whole other wheel underneath,” says Jones as he takes the cover off.
The 2025 R1S also comes with a key card to unlock the car, just like a Tesla.
The quad-motor version of the Rivian R1S also delivers 835 hp and a whopping 908 lb-ft of torque, giving it a 0-60mph time of just three seconds.
This makes the EV car faster than most supercars, and a lot more comfortable.
Other convenient features
Jones also shows the built-in Bluetooth that comes with the Rivian R1S that can be used as a normal speaker outside the car.
“If I need help seeing at night [the speaker] comes with lights built-in at the bottom that act as a lantern,” he said.
However, if it’s really dark outside, the EV car also features a flashlight hidden in the door that goes all the way up to 1,000 lumens (that’s bright!).
Rivian has been offering these features on both the R1S and the R1T pickup truck for quite a few years, but many people are still unaware of them.
However, one of the most surprising features is the adaptive high beam called ‘matrix headlights’.
It can selectively adjust the high beam pattern to avoid blinding oncoming traffic.
