2013 Scion xD: What's New, Specs & Features

About the 2013 Scion xD
1st generation (2008-2014), sixth model year; late-cycle year with a limited-production anniversary edition added.
Scion positioned the xD as an urban five-door hatchback that mixed city-friendly size with a useful cabin and a generous standard-feature list. Its appeal was simple: compact exterior dimensions, stronger-than-typical power for a small hatchback, flexible rear seating, and Toyota-backed durability. For most shoppers, the xD was the practical Scion—easy to park, easy to live with, and more about everyday utility and standard equipment than flashy performance.
The regular xD remains a practical, city-friendly five-door hatchback with a 128-hp 1.8-liter engine, Bluetooth audio, cruise control, and a sliding, reclining, fold-flat rear seat. The commemorative 10 Series stands out with a 6.1-inch touchscreen, illuminated anniversary graphics, graphite-finish 16-inch alloy wheels, special seat stitching, and a numbered interior badge.
