2011 Scion xB

The 2011 Scion xB is a compact wagon that prioritizes practicality and everyday use. Its distinctive boxy shape sets it apart on the road while offering ample interior space. Under the hood it boasts a 2.4 liter Inline 4 engine that delivers 158 horsepower making it suitable for both urban and highway journeys. Although its performance is decent for its category the 4 speed automatic transmission feels somewhat outdated by todays standards. However the availability of a speed manual option provides flexibility for those who prefer more control over gear shifts.

A key highlight of the Scion xB is its spacious interior. With seating capacity and plenty of storage room (21.7 cubic feet with the rear seats up and a generous 69.9 cubic feet when folded down) it caters well to families commuters or anyone needing extra space for bags or equipment. Comfort features include air conditioning, cloth seats and a straightforward infotainment system with USB and auxiliary inputs. Nevertheless it falls short in some modern amenities like climate control and push button start.

The xB stands out for its safety features including six airbags, traction control, vehicle stability control and electronic brake force distribution (EBD) as standard. These elements provide protection for both drivers and passengers in various driving situations although it’s worth noting the lack of advanced driver assistance systems like lane keeping assist and automatic emergency braking. In terms of fuel efficiency the xB performs reasonably well for its era offering 24 mpg combined. While it may not be the most economical option in its category it delivers decent mileage, for city driving at 22 mpg and 28 mpg on the highway. To sum up the 2011 Scion xB combines solid performance, practicality and safety features at a price point. It’s well suited, for individuals who prioritize space and reliability over luxury or cutting edge technology. Despite being an older model it remains a reliable choice, for those seeking a versatile and roomy compact car.
