In this episode of The Inevitable by MotorTrend Channel, we dive into the revival of the iconic Scout SUV under the leadership of CEO Scott Kho. The Scout, reminiscent of the old-school Bronco, is known for its rugged design and robust build by International Harvester. Scott Kho sheds light on the brand's electrified future, with VW AG at the helm, focusing on Electric Extended Vehicles (EEVs) and Range-Extended Vehicles (REVs). The reintroduction of the Scout lineup includes a 350-mile EV and a 500-mile REV version, catering to a diverse market seeking both electric and hybrid options.
Scott Kho's strategic decision to incorporate REVs into the Scout lineup reflects market demands and regulatory pressures for zero-emission vehicles. The podcast delves into the transition from a pure electric to a range-extended vehicle, highlighting the minimal compromises in performance and packaging. By offering a smaller battery size for the REV, Scout aims to enhance efficiency without compromising essential features like ground clearance and interior space. The flexibility of Scout's platform to adapt to evolving market trends towards electrification underscores the brand's commitment to staying ahead in the automotive industry.
The discussion with Scott Kho emphasizes the importance of meeting market demands by introducing electrified options while retaining the iconic design and durability of the Scout SUV. The decision to introduce REVs alongside EVs showcases Scout's innovative approach to cater to a wider range of consumers seeking sustainable yet versatile transportation solutions. Scott Kho's vision for Scout's electrified future, backed by VW AG's expertise, promises an exciting journey ahead for the legendary brand in the automotive landscape.
