Overview Information

At its core, the Scion xB is a roomy economy car offered with many accessories for owners to personalize their vehicle. The boxy shape is distinctive and adds considerably to the interior volume and utility. The 158-bhp from the 2.4L I-4 is best harnessed to the standard 5-speed manual, although a 4-speed automatic is available. Anti-lock brakes, traction control and stability control are all standard.

Options include not only audio system and wheel upgrades, but also items like LED lighting and trim pieces.
