Our biggest scoop comes from the revived Scout Motors, which unveiled its first two models.

The Volkswagen-backed effort revealed the Traveler SUV and Terra pickup truck, both body-on-frame EVs. Battery specs, range and exact powertrain details are yet to be confirmed, but an optional Harvester gas-powered range extender is projected to reach at least 500 miles.

The interior on both offers numerous storage solutions and physical controls along with the digital interfaces; but the Terra can be equipped with an optional front bench seat, a rather unique and classic touch.

Arriving in 2027, Scouts will be produced in South Carolina, with reservations open now and starting MSRPs between $50,000 and $60,000.

Arriving a bit sooner than that is the all-new Nissan Murano, staying the course as a two-row utility.
The design language might make you think “electrified” thanks to the sharp LED elements and smooth lines, but under the hood is a gasoline-fueled 2.0-liter turbo-four replacing the V6. The new interior boasts a pair of 12.3-inch displays with touch-sensitive controls for the climate system. The 2025 Murano should reach Nissan dealers early next year.

And that’s it for this week’s Motor News.
