We started hearing about Volkswagen<\/a>\u2019s takeover of the Scout brand so long ago that you\u2019d be forgiven if you completely forgot what was happening. The wait to see what VW<\/a>\u2019s up to is almost over, however, as the company recently announced that it would reveal the next-generation electric vehicles<\/a> at an event on October 24.<\/p>\n

The reveal will happen 44 years to the week after Scout\u2019s last vehicle left the production line, but while the new models will likely feature throwback styling and a healthy dose of nostalgia for enthusiasts, they won\u2019t be the burly gas-powered off-roaders their predecessors were.<\/p>\n

Scout\u2019s announcement email noted that there would not be a ton of new information<\/a> prior to the reveal: \u201cWhile you won\u2019t see a lot of teasers or taillights from us between now and October 24, here\u2019s what I can tell you. Like the originals, you\u2019ll know a Scout vehicle when you see one. A bold, iconic design featuring multifunctional spaces for gathering and connection. Built for work play, our new Scout SUV and truck<\/a> will be rugged, capable, and versatile. They have to be in order to credibly don the Scout badge. And with real tactile controls and real feel, they\u2019ll meet the needs of Americans on the road and way off.\u201d<\/p>\n

It sounds like VW learned its lesson with touch-based controls in its new vehicles<\/a>, but beyond that, the Scout brand is leaning hard into its heritage. That\u2019s likely a smart move, as the people who gravitate toward classic Scout vehicles<\/a> are generally people who appreciate the sound, smell, and feel of classic American engines and design. Interestingly, this reveal event will take place long in advance of the vehicles’ actual release, which could happen in late 2025 or beyond.<\/p>\n

We don\u2019t know much about the new models<\/a>, outside of the slow trickle of shadowy teaser images Scout has shared. The photo sent with the reveal announcement shows what appears to be a high-mounted compass, which could mean the automaker will make it a trademark<\/a> element. We\u2019ll just have to wait until late October to find out. \u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
