Volkswagen is exploring the development of body-on-frame SUVs and pickup trucks for the North American market as part of its broader restructuring efforts. Unlike traditional monocoque designs, these vehicles would feature a separate chassis and body structure, a common approach in trucks and some SUVs.

The move signals Volkswagen’s push to adapt its lineup to regional demands while navigating industry shifts toward larger, more rugged vehicles.
