Scion xD is a subcompact car manufactured by the Japanese-American Toyota subsidiary, Scion. The xD is based on the Toyota iSt, just like its predecessor, the Scion xA. It also has a European market-only sister called Toyota Urban Cruiser, badged and manufactured by Scion's parent company Toyota. The xD went on sale during the 2008 MY while the Urban Cruiser went on sale the following model year after debuting at the 2008 Geneva Motor Show.

Unique Attributes

The speedometer and tachometer share the same dial. Also, there is quite a bit of standard equipment for a subcompact, such as side curtain airbags, an advanced ABS system, active head restraints, a high-watt Pioneer stereo (shared with other Scions), and an iPod adapter. The xD also offers electronic stability control, which is a rarity in this class.

Criticisms

The driving position is a bit awkward and the ride is buzzy, but a major improvement over the xA.
