VW's Coming Scout Pickup and SUV Will Be Hardworking Beasts Volkswagen AG's relaunch of the Scout nameplate as a standalone EV brand seemingly came out of nowhere, promising to add a much-needed lineup of off-road vehicles to the automaker's US offerings, with VW itself lacking a pickup offering stateside. And it also promised to tap into a rugged, retro design aesthetic that has served some automakers well over the past few years, including Ford with the resurrected Bronco.
Just what we can expect from Scout was revealed this week, with the brand taking the wraps off two concepts—a truck and an SUV—intended to be fairly close previews of what we will see in a couple of years.
But these won't be purely EVs—a range extender option will add plenty of miles for those who plan to take their vehicles far away from the nearest charger.
Here's what else the first two Scout models promise EV shoppers, and approximately how much they'll cost. |
