With a starting price of $201,990 in Canada, the R1S Quad delivers extreme performance and premium appointments, positioning it as the brand’s most capable SUV to date.

The R1S Quad is powered by a four-motor setup producing 1,025 horsepower and 1,198 lb-ft of torque, enabling explosive acceleration and unmatched traction in all conditions.

In Conserve mode, range rises to 643 km.
