The Car Guide rating 73%(view ratings)
The Scion xB is a funky, right-angle compact crossover that can haul a considerable amount of cargo underneath its tall roof. Also capable of handling up to five passengers, the Scion xB's versatility is underscored by its frugality at the fuel pump, made possible in part by its 2.4-liter, 158 horsepower four-cylinder engine. Additionally generating 162 lb-ft of torque, this mill is shifted via a five-speed manual (standard) or four-speed automatic (optional) gearbox.
