According to Scout’s previous announcement, the first batch of Scout brand vehicles will include a tough SUV and a pickup truck, with plans to start mass production at the end of 2026. Volkswagen also revealed earlier last year that the price of the tough SUV will be around $40,000. In other developments, according to the Austrian media Kleine Zeitung, Volkswagen has decided to collaborate with other car manufacturers to revive Scout in Europe with electric cars. For this, Volkswagen has invested 450 million euros to develop these two new cars, and the Magna Steyr factory in Graz, Austria has already started the development work for the new cars. The official teaser images of these two new cars have been released, showing a design consisting of straight lines and sharp angles, giving the car a rugged look. Additionally, the car has a high ground clearance, expected to focus on off-road capabilities.
