Scout Motors\u2019 EVs are here and almost ready to hit the road. Motor enthusiasts have been patiently waiting for the brand\u2019s nameplate to finally arrive. Now that it has, customers got a glimpse at Scout\u2019s latest electric vehicles: the Traveler SUV and the Terra pickup truck. Learn all about them and Scout Motors\u2019 vision, below.<\/p>\n
Is Scout Motors Part of Volkswagen?<\/h2>\n
Volkswagen Group purchased the Scout brand after acquiring its initial owner, Navistar International. However, Volkswagen only supports Scout financially; it does not manage it. Scout operates as an independent brand.<\/p>\n
Scout was formally introduced to the world in 2022 when Volkswagen AG announced the creation of Scout as an EV-focused brand.<\/p>\n
Volkswagen USA\u2019s CEO, Scott Keogh, became the first CEO and president of Scout Motors.<\/p>\n
In 2023, Scout announced a plan to produce 200,000 EVs per year upon building a $2 billion factory. While speaking from the brand\u2019s North Carolina facility in February 2024, Keogh noted that the goal was to focus on a \u201ccalling and a community,\u201d per a press release<\/a> from Scout.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re here to celebrate the revitalization of an American icon and the reshoring of American jobs [sic],\u201d Keogh added. \u201cOn this land \u2013 with our hands and with our technology \u2013 we will build great vehicles.\u201d<\/p>\n Here they are.

The company explained that the SUV is expected to be table to tow 700 pounds.<\/p>\n The Traveler SUV will also feature a rear spare tier carrier in the back, and it will be rocked below $60,000. Customers should be able to hit the road with the SUV in 2028.<\/p>\n Like the SUV, the Terra is also expected to be available starting in 2028 and should cost less than $60,000.
