The overview

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.

Behind the data

Latest source update: September 11, 2026

Vehicle summaries, specifications, pricing and ratings come from Consumer Reports vehicle records. Auto Guide groups these records by model and reported generation start year.

Available years are listed explicitly. Gaps do not imply that a model was discontinued. Prices are source estimates, not live offers. No first-hand road test by Auto Guide is claimed.
