Last July, Volkswagen announced the recovery of the denomination scoutwhich used to be an American off-road firm, for a new group of electric models.
The idea that VW has for scout is that it is a sub-brand dedicated to the production of electric pickups and SUVs oriented to the world of off road. And that’s what he’s doing, as she demonstrated in the last few hours, by unveil a teaser of your future vehicle.
VW Scout: What was seen?
The new advance was released by Volkswagen through a brand new website, made by the brand itself to show the progress of the electric family, but also to interact with its followers. About, Scott Keogh, CEO of Scout commented: “We want to have an open dialogue with our community, to know what they expect from Scout”.
In the teaserpart of the silhouette of what appears to be the first electric pickup of Scout. Although it is not possible to distinguish if it is the front or the rear (I am more inclined towards the latter), the brand new vehicle appears with details typical of the off-road world, including:
- Wide tires
- Wide fenders, with possible plastic moldings
- Panoramic ceiling?
- Roof bars
VW Scout: What is known?
For now, little or nothing is known about the Scout models. Volkswagen barely managed to mention that the vehicles that will reopen the sub-brand will be a pickup and a SUVboth produced on a new platform.
The drive system of the Scout models would be made up of two powerful electric motors, powered by lithium batteries, with the aim of, in the world of SUVs, putting up a fight with the ford bronco, Jeep Wrangler Y gmc hummer.
Volkswagen is expected to unveil more news about the Scout models at the los angeles lounge, to be held from next 11/18 to 11/27, inclusive. The prototypes would be unveiled in 2023while production would start in the 2026.
