The Lift Kit and the not-quite-foot-tall stage it's on does help deliver that Imposing stance in person for sure, but seeing the Scout folks get into and out of it, and knowing the dimensions/expecting a proper-full-size SUV: it's not like it's a massive gigantic thing you've practically got to get a stepstool to get into like a Jeep Gladiator or F-450. It's really close to F-150 Dimensions, and I could see my (absolutely boring, average, 5'9" guy) self getting into and out of it without a struggle up or down.
Honestly, more than anything else, that's my struggle with something like a 3rd/4th generation Prius (My Daily Driver); Hauling myself up and out after sitting in it for hours on a road trip. No problems there with either Scout, especially on a "Standard"/non-lifted package.
It looks amazing in person, and not because it's a big, flashy, overly-futuristic, chromed-out never-gonna-happen car. It looks like a production-ready vehicle, that can use standard car/truck accessories (cough Elon take note cough), that's equally ready to be a daily driver SUV/worksite truck as much as it is a trailer-hauler or off-road vehicle and get dirty. The design team (in my opinion) absolutely hit the nail on the head, and it comes across better in person than in the renders/photos.
