Vehicle Highlights
The 2010 Scion xB gets a new optional audio system but is otherwise unchanged. This compact car is a front-wheel drive wagon with a one-piece rear liftgate. A 158-hp 2.4-liter 4-cylinder should remain the only engine, and it should team with a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission. Available safety features include ABS, traction control, antiskid system, curtain side airbags, and front side airbags. DVD entertainment and a navigation system are among the available features. A number of factory-approved dress-up accessories are sold as dealer-installed options. A new optional audio system includes a touch screen and HD Radio.
