Audi developing a competitor to the G-Class: first images
Audi is testing an electric off-road vehicle with a body-on-frame design, which is expected to use the Scout platform. The manufacturer is not commenting on the project; the debut may take place within the next three years.
A prototype of Audi's new off-road vehicle was spotted during road tests. The car has a large body, widened wheel arches, and large tires on six-bolt wheels—a combination typical of vehicles prepared for challenging off-road conditions.
The vehicle has no exhaust pipe, indicating an electric powertrain. According to available information, the model will be based on the American Scout platform, owned by Volkswagen. This platform features a body-on-frame design, characteristic of classic off-road vehicles. Previously, the head of Audi mentioned the possible use of this platform.
The manufacturer is not currently commenting on information about the project. The test vehicle appears unfinished, so its debut may occur within the next three years.
