The Scion xB polarizes with its boxy styling, which offers ample space for five passengers. Power from the 1.5l engine is adequate, built quality good, while the ride is quite firm.

For 2006 the xB gets a redesigned Pioneer radio, and two Release Series limited editions. The RS 3.0 features Envy Green paint, some exterior add-ons, and unique multimedia equipment. The RS 4.0 comes in Maziora Torched Penny paint that varies its color depending on viewing angle.
