Volkswagen’s Scout Motors Reveals 1st EVs With Direct To Consumer Sales
* Volkswagen’s Scout Motors revealed its first two vehicles Thursday: A Traveler SUV and Terra pickup truck, scheduled to arrive in 2027.
* Scout, a former American vehicle brand from 1961 to 1980, was expected to exclusively offer EVs in a bid for the German automaker to expand its presence in the U.S.
* Both the Traveler and Terra are expected to start between $50,000 and $60,000 with available incentives, according to Scout.

Scout, a former American vehicle brand from 1961 to 1980, was expected to exclusively offer EVs in a bid for the German automaker to expand its presence in the U.S. However, slower-than-expected adoption of EVs and higher costs have led it to change course and include extended-range electric vehicles or EREVs. This is Volkswagen new brand and which is built in the US.

Scout did announce that a software deal between VW and Rivian will not impact Scout’s operations.

Scout’s first two vehicles will be the Traveler SUV and Terra pickup truck, scheduled to arrive in 2027.
Auto groups are disputing direct-to-consumer sales from manufacturers, a selling style similar to the Tesla sales model. NADA (National Auto Dealer Association) is fighting the battle to protect VW dealers.
