As announced in 2018, the R1S was designed with three battery capacities and power outputs; all planned versions included four traction motors,{{cite news |url=https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a25323098/2022-rivian-r1s-electric-suv-photos-info/ |title=The 2021 Rivian R1S Is an Electric Seven-Passenger SUV Claiming Supercar Acceleration |first=Daniel |last=Golson |date=November 27, 2018 |work=Car and Driver |access-date=October 26, 2022 |archive-date=December 12, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221212004445/https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a25323098/2022-rivian-r1s-electric-suv-photos-info/ |url-status=live }} in which each wheel is driven by an independent traction motor, allowing full-time [[all-wheel drive]] with [[torque vectoring]]. The quad-motor version (QM) uses electric traction motors developed by [[Robert Bosch GmbH]], but these are carried on the vehicle's frame; the R1S does not use [[wheel hub motor]]s like the [[Lordstown Endurance]].

The vehicle has an air suspension which allows for a maximum ground clearance of {{cvt|14.9|in}}, with individual wheels cross-linked to reduce body lean during cornering. In addition, there is a "Camp Mode" that allows the vehicle to level itself when parked on irregular terrain. Maximum wading depth in water is {{cvt|43.1|in|m}}.{{cite news |url=https://www.motortrend.com/reviews/2022-rivian-r1s-first-drive-review/ |title=2022 Rivian R1S Electric SUV First Drive: Is Shorter Sweeter? |last=Markus |first=Frank |date=July 6, 2022 |work=Motor Trend |access-date=July 22, 2022 |archive-date=July 6, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220706172205/https://www.motortrend.com/reviews/2022-rivian-r1s-first-drive-review/ |url-status=live }}

Compared to the R1T, which has a {{cvt|135.8|in}} wheelbase, the R1S rides on a shorter {{cvt|121.1|in}} wheelbase and has a shorter rear overhang, improving [[Approach and departure angles|departure]] and [[breakover angle]]s. This also results in a [[turning circle]] that is nearly {{cvt|4|ft}} smaller for the R1S.{{cite news |url=https://www.motortrend.com/reviews/2022-rivian-r1t-yearlong-review-update-3-versus-r1s/ |title=What's the Difference Between a Rivian R1S and a Rivian R1T? |last1=Evans |first1=Scott |last2=Walker |first2=William |date=October 11, 2022 |work=Motor Trend |access-date=October 26, 2022 |archive-date=October 26, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221026182243/https://www.motortrend.com/reviews/2022-rivian-r1t-yearlong-review-update-3-versus-r1s/ |url-status=live }}
