2008–2015
Overview

The Scion xB, produced from 2008 to 2015, represented the second generation of this distinctive compact wagon-like vehicle known for its unique design and practicality. The xB underwent a significant redesign, departing from its original boxy appearance to adopt a slightly more streamlined and modern exterior design. While still maintaining a squared-off shape, the xB II featured cleaner lines and a more polished look. The cabin continued to offer an impressively spacious and versatile environment, especially given its compact size. Passengers enjoyed ample headroom and legroom, making it a comfortable choice for short commutes and longer journeys. The interior design remained functional and user-friendly, with straightforward controls and a focus on utility. The rear seats were foldable, providing substantial cargo space and cementing the xB's reputation as a practical and adaptable vehicle for various transportation needs.

Regarding performance, the xB II aimed to provide a comfortable and efficient driving experience. It was equipped with a suitable engine for city driving, delivering reasonable fuel efficiency. While not a high-performance vehicle, the xB was appreciated for its maneuverability, making it well-suited for urban driving and parking.
