Overview

The 2011 Scion xD Hatchback is a subcompact hatchback class offered in 2 trims, starting off at a base MSRP of $15,110. For that price, it mainly competes with the Ford Fiesta Hatchback, the Mitsubishi Mirage Hatchback, and the Honda Fit Hatchback. Between 2 trims, the xD offers a single powertrain. It is a 1.8L Inline-4 engine making 128 horsepower and 125 lb-ft of torque. However, there is a choice between a 5-speed manual transmission and a 4-speed automatic transmission. The xD Hatchback reaches 60 mph from zero in 8.4 seconds. Depending on the powertrain, the xD can manage a combined fuel economy between 29 mpg with both transmissions. While we're on the topic of choices, the 7 striking colors the xD comes in really pulls you towards itself.

Buying Advice

The base trim is the ideal choice if you want a daily-driven hatchback loaded with features. Meanwhile, the Release 3.0 version is more of a gimmick as it adds only some cosmetic upgrades. Besides the standard features, we additionally recommend a premium sound system, TRD performance parts, and navigation system.
