Mini scout

  • 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.

Hi my name is Edward Seaton I've owned multiple original scouts and am currently have a 1966 scout I am exited about the new model . But I had a business idea that could really promote the scout , why not build a mini scout the size of a side by side or mahindra roxor , with a set up similar I know Volkswagen makes a good diesel to compete and possibly cheaper. A off road only 2 door and 4 door version....give people a taste of scout so they want a full size they can drive on the street .
Call it the Scout Adventurer .
Sincerely scout and Volkswagen fan

There has been a lot of discussion and excitement about Scout making a smaller EV SUV, similar to the old Scout 80 in this photo.

The trick is they bc ant use diesel due to VW-gate scandal and they want to stick with BEV or EREV and smaller model currently won’t get the range people want. When solid state hits the market at a reasonable cost then it will be a very lucrative opportunity
