Features

Front
The xD comes standard with power locks, mirrors, and windows, and 16" wheels. The
vehicle also has ABS, a tire pressure monitoring system, Vehicle Stability Control
(VSC) with Traction Control (TRAC), dual stage driver and passenger airbags, seat
mounted driver and passenger side airbags, and side curtain airbags as standard
features.[3]

For 2008, a choice of three new head units made by Pioneer are available. All sound
systems feature six speakers and standard iPod connectivity. The base head unit has
MP3, WMA, and AAC CD compatibility, and Scion's SSP equalizer presets, as well as
orange lighting. The Premium head unit has all the features of the base unit, but
also has a small LCD that can display pictures and movies downloaded from Pioneer's
website in addition to the features on the base unit and has two different lighting
schemes, blue and orange. A navigation system is also available. The SNS 100 system
can play DVD movies in addition to GPS functionality and the features of the base
system, aside from the backlit color choices.

For 2010, a choice of two new head units made by Alpine are available. Also, the
iPod connectivity has been revamped in the form of an USB port, along with an AUX
jack located together, on the driver side of the vehicle. Previous model years with
Pioneer had two separate inputs on both sides of the cigarette lighter/accessory
plug, with the AUX jack port being on the driver side, and the iPod connectivity
(specially made for Toyota) port located on the passenger side. The upgraded Alpine
head unit features a touchscreen, and HD radio tuner, along with an optional
Navigation system upgrade.

For the 2011 model year, the Scion xD received a minor change to the grille, and
sales began in Canada with the launch of the Scion brand there.

Engines

Engine
The front-wheel-drive xD comes with the 2ZR-FE DOHC 1.8-litre 4-cylinder engine
with dual VVT-i that makes 128 bhp (95 kW) and 125 lb�ft (169 N�m) of torque. It
can be mated to either a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic transmission.
The United States Environmental Protection Agency estimated mileage for all model
years is 27 mpg-US (8.7 L/100 km; 32 mpg-imp) city and 33 mpg-US (7.1 L/100 km; 40
mpg-imp) highway.

Show.
The xD is a second-generation Toyota ist; the first was marketed in the US as a
Scion xA. It is essentially a mildly elongated five-door Toyota Vitz. The Vitz is a
three-door marketed in the US as the Yaris. Thus, the five-door Yaris was not
offered in the U.S. market when the three-door and sedan were launched; however, as
of 2009, the five-door Vitz is now offered in the US as the Yaris. The xD features
the same sliding and reclining rear seat that is optional on the Yaris three-door.
Unlike the Yaris and xA/first generation Ist, the xD's instrument gauges are
located behind the steering wheel (as opposed to being centered atop the
dashboard). As opposed to the Yaris and xA, the xD's speedometer and tachometer are
on the same dial counter-rotating.

Release Series
Similar to other Scion models, the xD adds Release Series limited edition models
for each model year. Because of the short production runs (most dealers only got
2�3 of each RS model), these limited edition vehicles quickly sell out. Customers
were able to pre-order at each dealership on a first-come, first-served basis. To
the customer's benefit, Scion's "Pure Price" MSRP binds dealerships against market-
demand vehicle mark-up.

xD RS 1.0: only available in Hot Lava Orange with 2,000 units produced.
xD RS 2.0: only available in Electric Wasabi with 1,600 units produced.
xD RS 3.0: only available in xPRESSO Brown with 1,500 units produced.
xD RS 4.0: only available in Blizzard Pearl with 800 units produced.
Reliability
According to Consumer Reports, the xD was the most reliable new automobile for 2009
in the United States, with 83 percent fewer problems than average.[6]

Safety
Standard safety features include anti-lock brakes with electronic brake
distribution and brake assist, traction control and six airbags.

The Scion xD received the top score of five stars in government crash tests for
both front and rear passenger safety in a side impact collision as well as a four-
star rating for driver and passenger safety in a front-end collision. The xD also
received a four-star rollover rating, which means that there is an estimated 15
percent chance of rollover in a single vehicle collision.[7] This is under the
"old" system of government ranking. A new system has been devised for the 2011
model year of all vehicles. However, the closely related Toyota Urban Cruiser
scored a poor 3/5 stars in the EuroNCAP tests.[8]

Starting with the 2010 model year, all xDs come standard with vehicle stability
control.

Sales
In the U.S., sales of the xD fell to 9,573 in 2011 from 32,603 in 2006.[9]
