The 2014 Scion xB has been ranked as one of the most affordable small cars on the market today. The vehicles design, safety and performance rankings came as a result of test drives and various data reviews based on expert analysis, safety record and reliability. The xB has a roomy interior that can sit lots of cargo; this is in addition to a less than modest fuel economy. The vehicles standard features include; cruise control, 16-inch steel wheels, tilt and telescoping steering wheel, full-power accessories, rear privacy glass and Bluetooth phone and Audio-Connect accessories. The audiophile friendly accessories fitted in the xB include a display audio-transmission with a 6.1-inch touch screen. The U.S. News and World Report best car reviews reports that the 2014 xB Scion wagon was not only ranked among the top affordable compact cars, but also among the best designed hatchbacks.
In terms of design, the vehicle has not changed much from its original 2008 makeover. For example, some of the standard features in the 2013 Scion xB include interior and conveniences such as Power windows with driver side auto down, rear window defogger, a tachometer and trip-meter which are still popular today. Among the exterior features of which most have been incorporated in the xB 2014 model are; a front bumper led accent lights and power outside mirrors with a led turn indicator. The vehicle also features immaculate audio embellishments such as a USB port with iPod connectivity. The vehicles standard safety features are numerous; they include; brake assist, front and rear side curtain airbags, an anti-lock braking system, electronic force brake distribution (EBD) and a smart stop technology.
On the overall, the 2014 xB 5-door hatchback can sit five people; according to the motor review experts and dealer’s edmunds.com, the spacious interior space accorded to the 2014 Scion xB provides a generous legroom, in addition to numerous optional add-ons. Among the numerous out-of-factory custom accessories that can be fitted in the new enabled xB so as to upgrade performance include the ability to lower the springs and modify the sport muffler, wheels and cargo management equipment manipulation and the ability to fit-in different exterior accents. The xB can also accommodate an upgraded Pioneer BeSpoke Premium Audio-System, which comes with such trappings as a smartphone-app integrated faculty with Pandora radio and navigation system.
In terms of power train, the xB has a very adaptable 4-cylinder engine that can take on varying terrains and speeds. Whilst the 2013 xB Scion is fitted with a 2.4-liter 158-hp engine with a mpg rating of 22-mpg in the city and 26-mpg on the highway. The newer 2014 xB Scion model sits on a 4-cylinder engine that offers adequate power; the car comes with a 5-speed manual transmission on standard model with an optional 4-speed automatic transmission. This car can attain an EPA of approximately 22 and 28-mpg on the city and highway respectively on either a manual or automatic transmission, however, this considered poor according to the industry classifications. Compared to its competitors such as Nissan Cube and Kia Soul and a number of high ranked SUV’s such as the Mazda CX-5 and Honda CR-V; the Scion xB’s average 24-mpg fuel rating falls short of those offered by the competitors.
According to edmunds.com, the 2014, Scion xB’s driving demeanor should be a welcoming break to many motorists. The car is easy to drive since the standard 2.4-liter engine provides smooth and quick acceleration compared to the other cars in this class. However, the xB’s interior cabin is not exactly serene as noise emanating from wind and tires often disturbs the internal peace. The Scion xB’s cabin is also visibly basic with hard plastic fittings sewn all-across, which is a standard practice typical of all cars under this class. To reinforce xB’s affordability, its average retail pay price ranges between $17,800 and $18,800.
