Great post over on Rivian Stories that has a R1S overlay with other SUVs to give a relative size comparison.

Thanks@Aroohoo. I've gone back time and time again to look at the R1S size comparison on RivianStories. I really like the R1S form factor. It's no longer than an Explorer, Sequoia, Ascent or whatever, but it's got much more vertical space. Rivian says 101 cubic feet, but I wonder if that's counts the frunk or not. In any event, it's a big, square hunk of well proportioned utility, and we know it hauls ass, so what's not to like?

Except that the scale is incorrect on many comparisons.
I think the scale is correct, but the overlays are centered rather than using a consistent reference point like the center of the front axle/wheel. This makes some comparisons look “off”.

Agreed. It is a cool visual, but misleading in some cases. I believe he said it was done based on wheel base, not necessarily total length.
One example, the Subaru Ascent (197’) is shorter than the R1S, however it is longer in the comparison above….

Also look at the XC90, only 2 inches shorter than the Ascent, but appears way smaller

Thank you for posting and that is an awesome number of comparisons with so many shapes and sizes!
It's crazy how large my R1S will look next to my wife's Model Y!

You had me at "bigger than the 4runner" though I would love to see a comparison against a 2014+ GX460 (which is slightly larger than a 4runner).

Liked seeing lightning vs R1S. I knew the numbers but seeing is believing. Here is one I did to decide between S and T. It may be off up to 0.5"

For those who want the numbers, I stumbled onto this site that allows one to compare up to 3 vehicles. Out dimensions is one of the statistics presented:

It is a fair comparison on length, but it can still be misleading regarding usable space. t
So can we stop calling it a midsize SUV now? 😂
I am not going to stop calling it midsized but I will not be upset if you want to call it a compact SUV.

For me the disqualifier isn't length (though I do wish it was longer), it is the width. R1S is shaped like an A. It is much narrower at the top than at the wheels.

First big giveaway that the R1S is narrower is that there is only 2 seats in the 3rd row. Every SUV that I would consider to be full sized seats 3 in the 3rd row. There is also the persistent rumor/suspicion that it is too narrow to fit 4x8 sheet goods. Again, everything that I would consider full sized is wide enough to fit the sheets, even if they hang out to back a bit.

Did anyone notice that R1S doesn't have a sloped hood? Any car/truck will exhibit poor visibility. You'll be staring at the hood rather than the road ahead of you.
Lightning hood is not sloped either.

How a out the new generation Grand Cherokee? The "L" version (three row) should be almost identical in size to the RS1.
