Amazing!! VW got eSUVs, and Rivian got the capital. Everybody is happy!! I'm surprised that Rivian not only shared the tech but also the know-how in direct distribution dealer networks. I love that Rivian seats, but I'm sure the final seat will be different.
They look great! I pre-ordered mine. 350mi with NACS for a new Scout sounds amazing. I'm curious if they end up using Rivian software (which is great) given their VW partnership.
The “range extended EV” part means that you can get a gas powered generator that will charge the batteries when needed. BMW had a similar option on the original i3 if I remember correctly
Range Extended EV is like a Plug In Hybrid except the electric range is hundreds of miles so in everyday driving you may never need to use the gas generator, only perhaps towing over long distances.
@@blackwhirlwind1245 they’re similar, but not quite the same. In a hybrid, both the electric motor and gas engine can drive the wheels. This is why something like a Chevy Volt is considered a plug-in hybrid, and not a full EV. In a range extended EV only the electric motor can power the wheels, and the gas generator is just there to charge the battery.
@@blackwhirlwind1245it’s not a hybrid though. It’s still an all electric motor the gas is just meant to power the generator to create more electricity.
@@NOXStellansthat’s not the same thing. i wish it had a gas version as well, simply because im not a fan of electric or hybrids and it doesn’t fit for my lifestyle.
These cars look awesome and great to see the Scout name revived. Sadly, anything related to “off road” and utilitarian is priced like a luxury car even if nobody spending 70k+ will take it off road lol. Plus the EV aspect adds to cost.
GM patented the voltec range extending hybrid system with the original Chevrolet Volt and its a no brainer for a stop gap or in between measure for trucks in my opinion.
Gasoline generator* attached to the battery. The generator can recharge the battery but it is not at all connected to the wheels or drivetrain. You cannot drive the vehicle on gasoline at all. Just think of the generator as a portable charger that happens to use gasoline.
Greetings from southern Ontario Canada I really enjoyed the video looking forward to seeing these ev vehicles here but for us Canucks its price i heard in the United States $50 000 &here with the current exchange rate $70,000 but its only for the wealthy people or couple 💑
All these losers are short circuiting because all they moan about is wanting to go backwards to a time that will never return. Here is a car company that is making cars in US with solid jobs and is a throwback to “when American was great”. They wanna complain it’s EV but don’t know how to react when they see it’s also a gas hybrid. Yeah stuff is expensive but this is actually a really good price point for all you get! You ALSO get a govt incentive to lower the cost but they’re mad about that too of course. These people will cling to their 97 Chevy Silverados and long for the return of lead paint and asbestos.
They had one job. How could they crew up the headlights? Glad they had the sense to offer a PHEV. Interior is reminiscent of a new Jeep Grand Wagoneer. I don’t know… I’m simply “whelmed.” Also, 2027?! Why even show them at this point (unless they want feedback so they can make minor tweaks before launch… “cough, cough… round headlights”)?
Just like the gaming industry, people just can't wait anymore. 2027 is 2 years away. It's not 6 to 10 years unlike some Tesla products. The Semi took 8 years to finally come out and the cheese wedge or door stop took 6. And your complaining about Scout showing production intent concepts 2 years before production🤦. You can wait two f**kin years.
Love it but will there be a gas version? Hard pass for me on the ev stuff, that's just garbage for off roading and towing. Yeah, it looks cool in downtown LA or something but I off road and tow, that's your customer not some pencil pushing yuppy.
@@ceric5220 yes, without a doubt. They are horrible at building cars, and people are taking notice of that, their profits have fallen by 60% and are the lowest in 24 years. But why am I even bothering explaining this to you, you obviously don’t understand or have a clue, and probably drive a VW and need to make yourself feel better about your terrible decisions.
Y'all had me. I just saw scout and thought this might be the new Toyota scout they've been talking about but no a piece of s*** Volkswagen electric vehicle
No, VW bought the name and it's NOT a completely independent company. VW is OFFICIALLY listed as the parent company and it only takes like 3 seconds to look that up.
International is still under VW. The Scout name is not, it was sold off as vw had no plans to pursue it, thus the new American motor brand, using an iconic name. I work for Scoutman here in GA, so we keep close contact with several execs and have watched the progress and their insistence of keeping as much of this vehicle as possible USA made. Now you know.
Scout Motors was created by and is the sole proprietor of Volkswagen Group. Volkswagen Group stock price alone rises and falls Scout Motors' success or failure. As currently structured, all profits will go to Germany. Scout Motors is a German-owned American company run by a former Volkswagen executive chosen by Volkswagen. This is simply yet another multinational corporate structure chosen for its tax and branding advantages.
I am looking forward to seeing them pile up unsold on dealership lots. And, hearing about all the electrical problems this Volkswagen product shall have
When it catches fire and burns down your house and the scout you just paid 60000 00 for I cannot believe the price of Insurance on these EVs because of so many fires. You can just keep it. I Have better things to do with my money.
To Bad it's Electric they don't play well in Water just saying. I purchased a 77 Scout SS ll and ran it for years in Orange Loved that rig wish I had not sold it 15 years later for what I paid for it new.
Body on frame, solid rear axles, with a gas generator as an option, these might use some parts and know how, but they definitely not reskinned as presented.
They are making a PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle) version. So you'll be able to run on gas or electricity, whichever is more convenient at any given time.

These actually look good and it’s a revival of an American brand. What’s the negativity?
They complain that they’re EVs, even though there’s a EREV option available for the SUV with a gas engine range extender.
Because Negative Nancy’s are real…
Sad people living miserable lives vent their anger in weird places like car reviews 🤷🏻♂️
It's a German company structuring its ownership to circumvent the chicken tax.
@@NOXStellansIt’s a German company creating American union jobs though
Wow just stunning ❤❤❤
Can't wait to see them on the road
Woah, they look super cool
Looks great and smart on vw for adding a range extender
I like the Terra. I'd love a 2 door version that will fit into my garage. A solar bed cover would be a nice option, too.
Amazing!! VW got eSUVs, and Rivian got the capital. Everybody is happy!! I'm surprised that Rivian not only shared the tech but also the know-how in direct distribution dealer networks. I love that Rivian seats, but I'm sure the final seat will be different.

Brian, I am so glad to see you again! Really loved you on Alex on Autos and think you're killing it here!
Kinda cool that they are body on frame EV's. And solid rear axel. What does "range extended EV" mean? Hybrid?

Glad they revived the brand, but those headlamps are unfortunate. Like the wrangler, international harvester headlights should be circles
Have people not heard that there’s a EREV option?
Thanks to the great example by Li Auto, finally there are some range extender car people can buy in US.
Heck yes, I'm in! Terra '27
To heck with EV haters. These look great and will be high quality.
As soon as it’s out I will buy one!
Put a deposit down for the Terra! I currently have a Rivian R1T quad motor and its been my favorite car. Looking forward to the Terra
These are Rivian platforms. How are they 20k less than a RT1?
Well, because they are not rivian platforms. Other than software they don't share anything.
Awesome......... Greetings from india🇮🇳🤠🤠🤩🤩🙌🤘🏻
Is it so hard to ask for a proper hybrid?
Yeah, I’m sure they won’t be cheap, but the fact is that they’re cool-looking electric SUVs and pickups that should be practical.
Placed my deposit for both SUV and Truck, both REEV
Are they going to keep the scout V8
why would the suv need a solid rear axle?
because it's meant to go places other than the mall.
@ why doesn’t it have a front solid axle like a jeep?
@@krebgurfson5732 gross...jeep ..
i wish it has a gas version
There's the range extended model
I assume you also mutter "I wish they spoke English" when you visit France?
@@NOXStellansthat’s not the same thing. i wish it had a gas version as well, simply because im not a fan of electric or hybrids and it doesn’t fit for my lifestyle.
@@vulpkip2172 Okay, so maybe you are the guy bellyaching at the wine bar: "I wish they sold beer"? - Scout is an electric car company.

Looks so much better then the rivian
*than
Wonder what the starting price is of these two.
Quoted at $60k in 2027, we'll see.
I want one with a 3.3 Cummins and ZF driveline. Batteries won’t take me to places I go.
LOL. k
VW needs to bring the Amarok to North America first.
It will need A LOT MORE 110 v & 220 v outlets!!! Need them in Frunk & bed
GM patented the voltec range extending hybrid system with the original Chevrolet Volt and its a no brainer for a stop gap or in between measure for trucks in my opinion.
someone had to knock off Rivian. or did they knock off Scout? hmmmmm
Not knock off. A strategic partner relationship between VW and Rivian. Both wins.
The rivian took design cues from the original Scout
Waduh 2027 Aja Aku Masuk Kuliah
Rev means a gasoline engine attached to a electric motor
It's also known as a PHEV - Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle.
Gasoline generator* attached to the battery. The generator can recharge the battery but it is not at all connected to the wheels or drivetrain. You cannot drive the vehicle on gasoline at all. Just think of the generator as a portable charger that happens to use gasoline.
We'd have more options like this if we did something about the "chicken tax".
What about just a ICE version?
Looks cool, gonna be 100k
Looks cool, gonna be 60k
Greetings from southern Ontario Canada I really enjoyed the video looking forward to seeing these ev vehicles here but for us Canucks its price i heard in the United States $50 000 &here with the current exchange rate $70,000 but its only for the wealthy people or couple 💑
Folding top pickup ...PLEASE. My Dakota convertible is getting old
volkswagen scout .... amazing cars. i want
needs round headlights
Next bring back the vanagon as an electric vehicle.
they awesome. just hope they r affordable!!! thats key
I really like this concept. Too bad an American company couldn't have done this! Maybe we'll see a future AMC return, LOL.
Assuming it's reasonably priced, the hybrid model will sell like hotcakes.
What does a new replacement 4-cylinder engine sell for? Assume at least that much of a premium.
@@NOXStellansprobably going be the same price has the bronco sport
Looks like they started with a Rivian, then tried to make it look like a Scout.
Looks like rivian stole design cues from the original Scout and Scout did as well.
Let’s see if they do better than Fisker
They should just give everyone an actual hybrid. We won’t have infrastructure for charging for at least another 7 years.
Great move vw

Yay another box on wheels! It looks good but it also looks just like the new Land Cruiser, bronco,
Rivian, Range Rover, ranger, etc
Retro is what's in style for "rugged off-road" vehicles...if only the retro sedans/coupes made a comeback
Beyond my means.
it’s giving the bronco and rivian had children
Considering those two took design cues from the original Scout, it makes sense.
Really cool looking, lost me at electric.
thx
Love it but will there be a gas version? Hard pass for me on the ev stuff, that's just garbage for off roading and towing. Yeah, it looks cool in downtown LA or something but I off road and tow, that's your customer not some pencil pushing yuppy.
They will offer gas range extender version with 500 miles of range. No pure gas. 10,000 lb towing capacity I believe?
cool
1:34 biggest load of crap 💩 I’ve heard all day. All I see is Rivian when I look at these. This review guy a company rep or what?
Then you have never looked closely at either. LOL
needs a convertible roof, i can only drive convertibles
American badass
There’s a better chance that Fisker will create a 3rd company before you will see a single Scout for sell.
You think Volkswagen is incapable of building cars?
@@plinkvevo Oh, without a doubt.
@@idonotcarenow Yes, one of the largest manufacturers in the world can't build cars. LOL

k, thank you for letting us know.
Y'all had me. I just saw scout and thought this might be the new Toyota scout they've been talking about but no a piece of s*** Volkswagen electric vehicle
Appreciate you letting us know
Concept. So maybe production in 27-28. I bet production never see's the light of day.
I wonder what they will do with that huge factory they are building for it?
No Scott actually bought the scout name from vw. So now it is completely independent, fyi.
No, VW bought the name and it's NOT a completely independent company. VW is OFFICIALLY listed as the parent company and it only takes like 3 seconds to look that up.
VW bought International and they own the Scout name now.

They want a competitor for the Cybertruck and the others.
When it catches fire and burns down your house and the scout you just paid 60000 00 for I cannot believe the price of Insurance on these EVs because of so many fires. You can just keep it. I Have better things to do with my money.
You do realize there is a couple of different battery chemistries used in EV's, right? This is not the type you see burning. LOL
Just too expensive.
I do think they could have gone smaller-and-cheaper.
$60k is too expensive for you??
To Bad it's Electric they don't play well in Water just saying. I purchased a 77 Scout SS ll and ran it for years in Orange Loved that rig wish I had not sold it 15 years later for what I paid for it new.

Rivian rip offs I see
Oui, no most definitely not!! Daft bugger!!!👿👿👿🔥🔥🔥☠️
Wrong.
A strategic partner relationship between VW and Rivian. Both wins.
How so? Please tell us. Is the completely different design language, the completely different frame/chassis/suspension?
I clicked off as soon as I heard EV.
Ok grandpa
then how did you comment?
They are also making a PHEV version that can run on either gas or electricity, whichever is handy for you at any time.
There’s a EREV version of the SUV with a gas engine range extender. Gets over 500 miles.
Your phone powered by gas?
Just a couple of reskinned Rivians.
Body on frame, solid rear axles, with a gas generator as an option, these might use some parts and know how, but they definitely not reskinned as presented.

That Scout truck was 100% built on an R1T frame/body
It 0% was not. LOL!!!
As if no one figured out these are spinoff version of rivian’s upcoming R3. The company that Volkswagen spent $5 billion recently.
All electric and Volkswagen… dead on arrival
Electric is the future and VW is one of the largest in the world and Germany
Then you charge it and go for a drive.
Dump electric. Drop in a V8 or solid inline 6 cylinder with torque. Otherwise, go away!
Wanna riot in a few years when EPA bans all of them from being on sale?
A V6 with torque. LOL. The torque in this EV would drag a v6 and a v8 up a hill.
Absolutely no to EV
There’s a EREV option for the SUV.
