Volkswagen is hoping to produce 200,000 Scout SUVs from its new US factory, with plans to rival Rivian with its own American-built electric 4x4
The 1100-acre Columbia site will also, if the production green light is given, be home to VW Group sibling Audi’s upcoming go-anywhere electric 4x4 SUV, which will compete with Land Rover as an electric alternative to the Defender.Scout president Scott Keogh said: “Scout has been an American icon since introducing an SUV in 1960. It's the vehicle that took your family on a camping trip, that gave access to the great outdoors and that showed up on the job site every morning.
Although no full pictures of the new Scout vehicles have yet been shown, the firm said the cars will possess a “strong stance and upright posture reminiscent of classic Scout models”. A high-set bonnet with distinctive contouring, square-shaped exterior mirrors, an upright glasshouse and roof rails – elements that typically distinguished the original line of Scout models – are also evident on the new SUV.
