If we go ahead in time and think about the requirements of that era from a pickup vehicle, we guess it would be different from today’s trucks. We would expect more power, range, better performance, and high-tech features. Although Volkswagen has not disclosed anything about the new pickup truck, we believe it will be at least a three-motor setup. Scout truck should be an all-wheel drive as standard. Volkswagen has already started working on future EV projects, and all the new electric vehicles will get high power and some best features. We believe the Scout pickup truck will get a motor setup producing nearly 600 to 700 horsepower. It will be a requirement of the future.
As a pickup truck maker, Scout must work on better suspension, high ground clearance, and other off-road features. The new off-road specialist brand should focus on the range as well. As we move towards the future, many rivals are introducing high-range vehicles. Tesla is already way ahead in the range competition. Recently Hyundai and Kia also announced a high range of electric vehicles. Scout should offer at least 300 to 400 miles of range. The expected starting price of the Scout electric pickup truck will be around $55,000. Now, let’s talk about the new SUV.
