Toyota Revives Scion Name With 300-Plus HP Hybrid Side-by-Side Concept at SEMA

The Scion 01 showcases truck-derived hybrid power with race-ready safety as an engineering exercise, not a product announcement.

Overview

  • Revealed at the 2025 SEMA Show in Las Vegas, the four-seat off-road concept uses a turbocharged hybrid system rated at more than 300 horsepower with an EV Silent Mode, Toyota says.
  • Toyota emphasizes a first-of-its-kind FIA-compliant roll cage compatible with SCORE rules and a chassis intended for high-speed runs, rugged trails, and rock crawling.
  • North American Toyota engineers led development and CALTY handled the design as part of the company’s broader mobility portfolio.
  • Independent coverage reports the build leverages Tacoma iFORCE MAX 2.4-liter hybrid components, claims up to 26 inches of wheel travel, and maintains dimensions suitable for a standard trailer.
  • Toyota states the Scion 01 is not for sale, and reporting cites an approximate curb weight of about 4,000 pounds with no production plan announced.
