Each new model signed Rivian seems to surpass the previous one, and the brand reiterates this achievement with the California Dune special editions.
These exclusive variants of Rivian’s R1T and R1S are designed for adventure enthusiasts, feature a design inspired by the desert landscapes of California, and come with standard off-road equipment. Rivian once again proves its ability to combine innovation, aesthetics, and performance. We sincerely hope that this growth of the brand will one day lead to a presence in the European market.
These special models feature an exclusive hue called California Dune, a beige tone reminiscent of the majestic dunes of southern California. To enhance their look, the vehicles include the Darkout Package, which darkens logos and accentuates the contrast with the light paint. The 20-inch wheels, part of the standard off-road pack, are available in a dark finish or to match the bodywork.
Rivian Doesn’t Want to Limit Itself to Beverly Hills
Inside, the cabin features a two-tone layout blending Black Mountain on top and Sandstone at the bottom, creating an atmosphere that is both sophisticated and practical. The floor mats and seat coverings are designed for easy cleaning, demonstrating attention to detail that will delight adventurers.
Under the hood, these limited editions make no compromise on performance. Based on the Tri-Motor configuration, they deliver an impressive 850 horsepower, enabling 0 to 100 km/h acceleration in just 2.9 seconds. A specific driving mode, Soft Sand, optimizes their behavior on sandy terrains.
Additionally, the off-road pack includes a reinforced underbody shield, a spare wheel, MAXTRAX traction boards mounted on the roof, and the R1T pickup also features a redesigned powered truck bed cover for 2025.
Of course, all this comes at a price, and it’s not lighter than the sturdy SUVs. Rivian offers both of its sand vehicles starting at $99,900 for the R1T and $105,900 for the R1S. Rare and therefore expensive parts reinforce Rivian’s image as a key player in the high-end electric segment.
