2010 Scion xB Base 4dr Wagon

Overview

The boxy Scion xB, dubbed an "urban utility vehicle", has been the brand's cornerstone model with the broadest appeal among Scion buyers. The xB is powered by a 158-hp 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine, mated to a five-speed manual transmission. A four-speed automatic transmission with manual shift mode is optional, and both gearboxes are controlled through a high-mounted shifter, which falls easily into the driver's hand. Every xB is equipped with 16-inch wheels, air conditioning, power mirrors and windows, power door locks with remote keyless entry, a satellite-compatible 160-watt Pioneer audio system with MP3 capability, and an auxiliary audio input jack for portable music devices; a rear liftgate provides access to a generous cargo area with approximately 70 cubic feet of capacity. Safety features include a vehicle stability control system with traction control, four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes with brake assist, a tire pressure monitor, and dual front, front side-impact and overhead curtain airbags. The Scion xB carries over with minimal changes for 2010. A new standard Pioneer audio head unit with USB connectivity (including iPod and iPhone) and a subwoofer RCA output adds value, while the Sizzling Crimson Mica exterior color replaces the previous model year's Blackberry Crush Metallic. Additionally, a new Release Series 7.0 version joins the lineup, featuring a distinctive body kit, TRD sport muffler and lowering springs, unique seat upholstery and an exclusive exterior paint color.
