2011 Scion xB

The Scion xB is part of a growing car segment : the small SUV-like hatchback. It's among the boxiest vehicles in this field, which includes the Nissan Cube, Honda Element, Chevrolet HHR and Suzuki SX4 crossover.

The xB received front and rear styling changes and interior updates for a spring release as an early 2011 model. Among the interior updates was a tilt/telescoping steering wheel.

The xB has a center-mounted speedometer that some find hard to read. The gauges are red, which is easy on the eyes at night but hard to see during the day. Scion says a new black gauge background should help. Beyond that, the interior is fairly standard, with a generous amount of cargo room when the rear seat is folded.
