It might be EICMA time over on the motorcycle side of the Internet, but it's also SEMA time in Las Vegas. And so, Toyota decided to resurrect the Scion badge for a new side-by-side (or maybe scide by scide?) concept that it's calling, quite fittingly, the Scion 01 Concept.
Toyota is of course no stranger to off-road driving pursuits, and for this exercise, it's utilized a 300+ horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder hybrid powertrain from its tried-and-trusted truck lineup. Notably, the use of a hybrid powertrain made it possible for Toyota to offer a special Silent Mode, which allows the driver to go into an all-EV mode so there's no engine noise to distract you when you're out in nature.
It's not clear what the range is in Silent Mode, but perhaps that's not really a top-of-mind concern, since Toyota directly says that this is very much a concept vehicle, and not something available for production or sale.
