Toyota Unveils Scion 01 Concept: Turbo Hybrid UTV for Extreme Adventures at 2025 SEMA Show
November 4, 2025
Toyota unveils the Scion 01 Concept, a bold off-road side-by-side with a high-output turbocharged hybrid powertrain designed for extreme adventuring, presented as a concept rather than a production vehicle.
The Scion 01 is set to be showcased at the 2025 SEMA Show in Toyota’s booth, emphasizing its status as a special concept and not available for sale.
Toyota revived the Scion name as a branding tag for this high-performance turbo hybrid UTV concept, presented at SEMA in Las Vegas with no production plans announced.
Toyota frames the Scion 01 within a broader mobility strategy, highlighting sustainability goals and investments in U.S. manufacturing and electrified battery production in North Carolina.
The piece connects the Scion 01’s specs and philosophy to Scion’s historic identity and Toyota’s broader performance ambitions.
There is no production timeline or price; the article estimates a potential market price around $60,000 if it ever reached production, reiterating that it remains a concept.
The Scion 01 sits within Toyota’s performance-focused lineup, alongside GR Corolla and TRD Pro trucks, signaling a heritage of fun, high-performance projects.
CALTY, Toyota’s U.S. design studio, led the design of the Scion 01, aiming to blend performance, efficiency, and adventure in an off-road package.
The design emphasizes a balance of performance and practicality, with CALTY crafting the concept to showcase vision rather than a production path.
The concept rides on 32-inch Maxxis Carnivore tires and houses a 2.4-liter engine, hybrid motor, and battery, with an eight-speed automatic transmission likely akin to the Tacoma.
The Scion 01 is built to tackle high-speed racing, rocky trails, and tough terrain, featuring advanced suspension, a race-ready FIA-compliant safety cage, and durable Toyota components for extreme conditions.
Toyota developed an all-new platform for the Scion 01, including an FIA-compliant roll cage compatible with SCORE racing rules and using proven Toyota driveline, suspension, and braking components.
