Two years ago Volkswagen established a new brand called Scout Motors, reviving an iconic name from the world of off-roading and 4x4s, with plans to launch an all-electric SUV and pick-up truck designed specifically for the US market. And on 24 October we’ll finally get to lay eyes on the newly minted brand’s first creations that will have Rivian, Land Rover, Ford and Jeep in their sights.
Scout shared the reveal date on social media, and noted that it’s only going to show concept versions of its electric SUV and pick-up truck. The brand is currently aiming to begin production of its first models by the end of 2026.
The next-generation Scout models will be built on a brand new and bespoke EV platform designed to be capable on and off-road.
