Full 2011 Scion xD Review
What's New for 2011
The Release Series 3.0, a limited-production model, debuts for the 2011 Scion xD.
Introduction
Unlike its xB and tC siblings, the 2011 Scion xD lives a life of relative obscurity. Perhaps it's because this economy-minded hatchback has more sedate styling, or maybe it's due to its focus on reliable and solid transportation. Certainly, that's nothing to sniff at. But these days most competitors offer a lot more than just basic transportation.
To its credit, the xD features a gutsy 1.8-liter engine, one of the strongest in its class, and good manners whether in the city or on the freeway. It also has plenty of standard features and can be fitted with more than 40 dealer-installed options. That extensive list of customization options is one of the xD's strong points; the range of choices includes everything from shift knobs to performance suspension parts.
Scion is also offering the xD RS 3.0 as part of its ongoing Release Series, a limited-edition xD fitted with a four-piece body kit that includes a front airdam, rocker-sill skirts and rear spoiler, plus carbon-fiber-like trim. Rear seat passengers will appreciate the xD's reclining/sliding backseat, which is a rarity in this segment. One other factor to keep in mind as you consider an xD is Scion's no-haggle pricing.
Body Styles, Trim Levels, and Options
The 2011 Scion xD four-door hatchback is available in two trim levels: base and Release Series 3.0.
Standard equipment for the base xD includes 16-inch steel wheels with a choice of three covers, air-conditioning, cruise control, full power accessories, a tilt steering wheel with integral audio controls, and a six-speaker Pioneer CD/MP3 audio system with iPod/USB connectivity and a subwoofer RCA output.
Available in just one color ("Xpresso"), the Release Series 3.0 trim adds exterior enhancements, including a body kit, carbon-fiber accents and an individually numbered production badge. Production of this trim is limited to 1,500 units.
While the xD isn't offered with factory-installed options, a long list of upgrades may be installed at the dealer. Available options include a navigation system, a premium sound system, Bluetooth, satellite radio, illuminated door sills and TRD performance parts.
