VW dealers are angry, but Scouts don’t care
The brand said Volkswagen of America is not involved in Scout, so VW dealers are not authorized to sell its vehicles go through Brad Anderson 14 hours ago The revived brand will not budge on demands that VW dealers be allowed to sell its vehicles. Interested customers can reserve a Scout Terra or Traveler by paying a $100 deposit. Scout has vowed to defend itself against any legal action from the California dealer. Scout Motors has distanced itself from the California New Car Dealers Association (CNCDA), rejecting its demands to abandon direct-to-consumer sales. The revived off-road brand, which operates independently from Volkswagen Group of America (VWGoA), accused CNCDA of making "serious misstatements" about its sales plans. Scout insists it has no intention of using traditional dealers, insisting that direct sales are central to its strategy. In late December, CNCDA asked Scout to stop accepting orders for the Terra and Traveler, claiming the brand violated California law by selling pickup trucks…
The Scout’s extended-range engine will be mounted in the rear
Scout Motors says EREV-equipped Traveler and Terra models will have a range of more than 500 miles. Horsepower and torque details for the BEV and EREV versions are still under wraps. For years, Scout's new pickup and SUV models were expected to be sold exclusively as electric vehicles. However, the Volkswagen-owned brand confirmed last year that it was also developing an extended-range electric vehicle (EREV) version. Future Scout EREV models are expected to eliminate any range anxiety by using a small internal combustion engine to charge the battery. var adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {que:()}; adpushup.que.push(function() { if (adpushup.config.platform !== "DESKTOP"){ adpushup.triggerAd("0f7e3106 -c4d6-4db4-8135-c508879a76f8"); } else { adpushup.triggerAd("82503191-e1d1-435a-874f-9c78a2a54a2f"); Scout CEO Scott Keogh said most customers choose EREV. While technical details about the powertrain are currently limited, Scout head of strategy Ryan Decker said it won't disrupt the smooth and quiet operation customers have come to expect from electric vehicles.
