Scion xA: The Compact Economy Hatchback
The xA was one of Scion's launch models, a small, efficient five-door hatchback aimed at young, value-focused buyers.
Introduced when Scion launched in 2004, the xA was a subcompact hatchback based on a Toyota global model. It offered tidy dimensions, good fuel economy, and Scion's hallmark simple pricing and customization options.

The xA was replaced by the xD in 2008, but as one of the brand's original models it helped establish Scion's youthful, value-driven identity.
