It’s still too soon to call whether Volkswagen’s ambitious resurrection of the Scout brand will succeed, but the buzz around its new Traveler SUV and Terra pickup suggests the gamble has already piqued interest. Unveiled in October, these rugged models mark Scout’s return to the automotive scene, blending nostalgic design cues with cutting-edge electrification.

While the cars unveiled by Scout were technically concepts, they have production-intent designs and the finished vehicles should look virtually identical. When order books open, customers will be offered a range of colors to choose from and these renderings preview some that could be available, as well as liveries inspired by the original Scout models built by International Harvester.

The crew from the Scout EV Forum whipped up these renderings of both the Traveler and the Terra. Among the colors best suited to the rugged SUV and pickup are a shade of Dark Green/Forest Green, Tamarak Bronze, Concord Blue, and Burnt Orange. Scout has not yet confirmed the official palette for the two vehicles, but here’s hoping it contains some paint jobs similar to these.

We’re particularly fond of the models with the special ‘Rallye’ liveries. This livery was offered in the original Scout and has been imagined in white and black configurations, running down the sides of the new-age models and paired with matching wing mirrors and a painted roof. Given how popular retro-themed finishes for the current Ford Bronco are, Scout may also try to lean into the cult following of the original models.

Both the Traveler and Terra will launch with battery-electric powertrains, catering to the growing appetite for zero-emission vehicles. But Scout isn’t putting all its eggs in the BEV basket. Recognizing the shift in consumer sentiment, the company is also developing an Extended Range Electric Vehicle (EREV) variant. This version pairs an electric motor with a small gasoline engine that acts as a generator, stretching range to a claimed 500 miles (805 km)—well beyond the 350-mile (563 km) range of the pure electric models.

This dual approach positions the brand to appeal to both hardcore EV enthusiasts and those with range anxiety, particularly in markets where charging infrastructure remains patchy. With the BEV models offering strong eco-credentials and the EREV variants delivering added flexibility, Scout seems determined to cater to a wide range of drivers.
