Rivian has driven into Driving Empire, and the electric brand headlines a fresh drop that also restocks the boat dealership and hands out six new water towables. The studio laid out the contents on Discord and in the post announcing the update, which went live for everyone on 25 September 2026. The two 2025 Rivian models are the centerpiece.
New Rivian vehicles and prices
At Bayside Motors, shoppers can find two electric Rivians: the R1S SUV and the R1T pickup. Together, they offer an off-road-style hauler and a family-size electric wagon. Before purchasing, inspect either one in the showroom by opening its doors, hood, and tailgate.
| Vehicle | Price |
|---|---|
| 2025 Rivian R1S | $405,000 |
| 2025 Rivian R1T | $355,000 |
Customizing and tuning the Rivians
After purchasing either Rivian, drive it to the customization garage. Its paint menu includes factory color choices, caliper lock colors, and underglow lighting. The R1S uses this same menu, where you can browse the paint options and choose a color.
The R1T’s upgrade menu has slots for engine parts and nitrous. Install steel pistons in the engine slots and add nitrous systems to boost performance. The upgraded truck moves quickly in a straight line, but its rear end often slides around sharp turns. You can switch it to RWD and equip slick and drift tires; however, it tends to correct itself and continue straight instead of maintaining a drift.
New boats and prices
The boat dealership adds two watercraft: the Harris Grand Mariner 250 pontoon and the less expensive Lund 2075 Tyee. In the marine customization menu, adjust each boat’s primary and secondary exterior colors as well as its interior upholstery.
| Boat | Price |
|---|---|
| Harris Grand Mariner 250 | $339,000 |
| Lund 2075 Tyee | $170,000 |
Six new water towables
The drop also brings six water towables. Connect one to a boat through the towables menu, then ride on it and pull friends across the bay at full throttle behind the new boats. The set includes:
- A giant inflatable sunglasses duck
- A red and yellow Wayfort Floaties sled
- A circular pepperoni pizza slice float
- An inflatable race car with wheels and a rear wing
- A ring with a built-in palm tree canopy
- An oversized pink convertible car
How to get the new Rivians, boats and towables
The vehicles, boats and towables are live now. Load Driving Empire and head to Bayside Motors for the Rivians or to the boat dealership for the watercraft to buy them. There is nothing to redeem and no restart required beyond having the current version loaded.
Player housing remains available separately
Outside this drop, Driving Empire keeps its player-housing system. The Blueprint Shop sells homes you can sort by price, plot size and garage count, and once you own a blueprint you spawn it on a matching plot marked by a “For Sale” sign.
Options run from the entry-level Delaney, priced at $450,000, up to larger estates such as the Fiorenza Mansion. The bigger homes require large plots and include multi-floor interiors with kitchens, bedrooms and pools.
