Rivian has begun accepting orders for its 2026 Quad-Motor pickup truck and SUV, showcasing impressive specifications with 1,025 horsepower and 1,198 pound-feet of torque. Acceleration from 0-60 mph in under 2.5 seconds highlights its performance capabilities. An emphasis on software control allows Rivian to introduce new features through updates, including the 'kick turn.' This maneuver improves off-road handling by allowing the vehicle to pivot without steering while driving under 20 mph. The 'kick turn' is positioned as a safer, practical version of the previously proposed 'tank turn' feature.
Rivian's 2026 Quad-Motor pickup truck and SUV offer 1,025 horsepower, 1,198 pound-feet of torque, and rapid acceleration from 0-60 mph in under 2.5 seconds.
With in-house motors, Rivian has full control over hardware and software, enabling them to introduce new features via software updates.
A key new feature, 'kick turn,' allows the vehicle to pivot around its center on dirt, enhancing off-road maneuverability without turning the steering wheel.
The kick turn feature is the refined version of a previously planned 'tank turn,' which was not released due to concerns from Rivian’s leadership.
