What one thing would you like to see changed from concept to production?

  • 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.
I’ll probably lose a finger for this but…. I do it for the fans.

My impression of the industry is that sometimes (often?) the production models are mostly done first, later tarted-up for initial public concept, and then perhaps refined a bit after feedback. For example, XC90 SPA1 for MY16 was clearly locked before Volvo's 2013-14 concepts; XC60 came later and had much more resemblance to the concepts.

Doubt we'll see production spec until maybe a year before production start - so perhaps reveal in fall 2026, production start fall 2027 for MY28? Just speculation.

Recently became a bit concerned about fitting a Traveler (80" wide) in my garage next to our Grand Highlander (78") - concept is wider than our Sienna minivan (also 78") which now lives on the street. XC90 P2 (75") fits in there a bit better.

The new head lights. Not sure if I like them with the line through the middle.

Scout. “People. Connections. Community. Authenticity." Welcome to the Scout community. Enjoy the ride. 🛻 🚙
Remember the built in search on the forums is a great place to start getting answers to your many questions. 😀
 
The revamp of the models are unfortunately not reflective of the production models. There are certain changes in the production models that would be too costly to show in these models. But.... The revamp of these models are SUPER cool. The design team came up with some great add ons to include in these models. I am actually going to see the traveler in an hour.

No! I will be not taking pics and including them in our Friday treat for you all. Sorry.

Well kill the joy and excitement of 40 of us asking. 🤣. At least be kind and report back that they are amazing and that the butter yellow on the traveler looks amazing! I’ll be able to sleep better at night knowing this 😀

Terra is complete as of now and off on a secret mission. I would think it will be revealed in its new skin in a month.
