Scion xB: The Boxy Cult Classic
The xB was Scion's distinctive boxy wagon, a quirky, spacious, and endlessly customizable model that became a cult favorite.
One of Scion's launch models in 2004, the xB stood out with its upright, boxy shape that maximized interior space and gave it unmistakable character. Based on a Toyota global model, it offered a surprisingly roomy cabin and a flat-sided body that became a canvas for customization.
The first-generation xB, with its smaller engine and lighter weight, developed a devoted following for its practicality, efficiency, and unique looks. The second generation grew larger and more powerful but lost some of the original's quirky charm.
The xB remains the model most emblematic of Scion's individualistic spirit, beloved by owners who embraced its unconventional design.
