Scout puts modern technology behind conventional vehicle controls

Scout says it wants to place modern technology “behind the curtain” rather than make it the visible interface. The vehicle uses a mechanical door handle instead of a flush electronic design, which was favored for straightforward operation, reliability and use in bad weather or with gloves.

Its length was compared with the Land Rover Defender and Toyota Land Cruiser, while its body is somewhat wider. The vehicle was described as having a strong stance and presence while still seeming manageable for city parking, including parallel parking.
