Volkswagen’s chief operating officer, Johan De Nysschen, suggests the modern-day Scout could be based on a VW-developed electric car platform and be similar to the Rivian R1S SUV, but “at the $40,000 price point instead of $70,000.”
Instead of leather interior options, Volvo will use sustainable alternatives such as Nordico, a material it created consisting of textiles made from recycled material such as plastic bottles, and corks recycled from the wine industry.
