SUV Reveal questions-pregame

  • From all of us at Scout Motors, welcome to the Scout Community! We created this community to provide Scout vehicle owners, enthusiasts, and curiosity seekers with a place to engage in discussion, suggestions, stories, and connections. Supportive communities are sometimes hard to find, but we're determined to turn this into one.

    Additionally, Scout Motors wants to hear your feedback and speak directly to the rabid community of owners as unique as America. We'll use the Scout Community to deliver news and information on events and launch updates directly to the group. Although the start of production is anticipated in 2026, many new developments and milestones will occur in the interim. We plan to share them with you on this site and look for your feedback and suggestions.

    How will the Scout Community be run? Think of it this way: this place is your favorite local hangout. We want you to enjoy the atmosphere, talk to people who share similar interests, request and receive advice, and generally have an enjoyable time. The Scout Community should be a highlight of your day. We want you to tell stories, share photos, spread your knowledge, and tell us how Scout can deliver great products and experiences. Along the way, Scout Motors will share our journey to production with you.

    Scout is all about respect. We respect our heritage. We respect the land and outdoors. We respect each other. Every person should feel safe, included, and welcomed in the Scout Community. Being kind and courteous to the other forum members is non-negotiable. Friendly debates are welcomed and often produce great outcomes, but we don't want things to get too rowdy. Please take a moment to consider what you post, especially if you think it may insult others. We'll do our best to encourage friendly discourse and to keep the discussions flowing.

    So, welcome to the Scout Community! We encourage you to check back regularly as we plan to engage our members, share teasers, and participate in discussions. The world needs Scouts™. Let's get going.


    We are Scout Motors.
Isn't that dash just a Scout II? Like I think their just trying to hint towards it's shape being similar and taking inspiration from the Scout II. Just like the lines across the body of the Scout II in the other image
Correct, those are just style lines for benchmarking. Rest assured it will have all the modern conveniences.

While I can appreciate the looks of the drawing - I can only assume that the actual version will have some sort of display in the dash. I guess they can do hands free telephone - not seeing how any navigation will be easy without a display - but I guess some minimal navigation could be in the instrument cluster - but that is certainly not what the illustration indicates, it sure looks analog. Perhaps there are enough purists to make sales without ANY modern convinces - but it will be a hard sell for many. EV's and tech seem to go hand in hand... Honestly, that dash looks like it would be perfectly fit with an original Scout. Only thing I actually see missing is an ashtray.

In all fairness - if they really wanted to hide some hard core tech, it could have a HUD. But given the complete absence of buttons, even on the steering wheel - it would have to be voice controlled.

The lack of AC vents is also "disturbing" - heater vents only? That is pushing traditional a bit far - I am in Texas, I have not ridden in a vehicle made without AC since the early 70's.
The drawing is not the new scout, we won’t see that until Thursday. The drawing is a traditional scout with orange lines giving the slightest hint of the design of the new one. I’m sure the new one will have AC, a screen and plenty of buttons/knobs/dials.
