Feel - out of the box - in 2008 Scion xB!

It's large, quiet, roomy and less boxy. That's the Scion xB for you! The 2008 Scion xB is a bigger vehicle in every aspect. Wheelbase is four inches longer, while overall length has grown by a foot to 167.3 inches. The xB is nearly three inches wider for more elbow room and it tips the scales at a stout 3,020 pounds. The engine has grown from 1.5 liters to 2.4 liters and from 103 horsepower to 158 horsepower.

Four years after the initial introduction of the xB to the US market, Scion has completely redesigned the model. The clean utilitarian look of the original xB is replaced by a softer, less chiseled look with an exaggerated front overhang, bulbous fender flairs and wide C pillar. The interior has a more relaxed atmosphere and makes the driver and passengers feel more comfortable. The driver's seat is adjustable for height. There's a folding armrest on the right side of the driver's seat. You can fold the back seat almost flat for cargo. A tray under the rear seat cushion provides storage space for small items. The rear cargo floor is flush with the hatch opening for easy loading and unloading.

You can choose either a five-speed manual transmission or a four-speed automatic with a manual mode. Both transmissions are well-matched to the 2.4 liter engine. The xB is extremely smooth and seems to be in the right gear at the right time. For details, visit Toyota Scion of Concord, located near Charlotte, North Carolina (NC) or call 704-979-7700.
