Redesigning The Scion xD
We already knew the redesigned Scion xD was a sporty hatchback with a youthful and faithful following. But what exactly does this zippy ride offer to those who have yet to experience Scion? We’ll start with some basics:
Engine: 1.8L DOHC four-cylinder – Power: 128 horsepower at 6,000 rpm; 125 pound-feet of torque at 4,400 rpm – Transmission: Four-speed automatic, five-speed manual
Brakes: Front ventilated disc brakes, rear drums. ABS with brake assist, electronic brake force distribution (EBD) – Tires: All-season, temporary spare tire P195/60R16.
Price: $17,200 before dealer coupons or special offers / trade-ins
Standard features include: Air conditioning, rear seat heater ducts; front sport seats, fold down rear seats (60/40), flat folding rear seats, recline; power door locks and power windows with driver side auto down; electric rear window defroster; three-spoke steering wheel, tilt steering, steering wheel audio controls; carpet floor mats; cruise control; keyless entry; rear spoiler; AM/FM/CD/MP3/WMA six speaker stereo, audio auxiliary input jack with USB audio input; Bluetooth capability; 16-inch steel wheels.
The car is comfortable, and fits more luggage then it would appear. The xD is sporty and uses every bit of its 1.8 liter powerplant. In fact, we bet you’ll hit 70 mph without even knowing. The ride is smooth and control is perfectly responsive through tight turns or winding around traffic.
