The Scion brand started as a youth-oriented division of Toyota, offering smaller, less-expensive coupes and hatchbacks with sportier designs. Some Scion models gained mainstream appeal, but the brand was discontinued and absorbed back into Toyota in 2016. The Scion iM was rebranded as the rebadged Toyota Corolla iM, and evolved into the Corolla Hatchback. The Mazda-built iA subcompact sedan was rebadged as the Toyota Yaris, and discontinued in 2020. The rear-drive Scion FR-S lives on as the Toyota GR86.
Debuting for 2004, the xA is a small hatchback powered by a 108-hp, 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine. While the rear hatchback provides cargo-carrying versatility, the xA lacks the xB's spacious interior. Drivers sit high and upright, with a good view out. The firm and supportive seats are well-contoured, with good side bolsters. Handling is fairly nimble, but unlike the xB, the xA didn't come with stability control. Wind and road noise are pronounced. The xD replaced the xA for 2008.
