2014 Scion FR-S: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The most important change for the 2014 Scion FR-S is a new standard 6.1-inch touchscreen audio system. This is a light equipment update rather than a mechanical overhaul, with the engine, rear-wheel-drive layout, chassis, and suspension carrying over.
About the 2014 Scion FR-S
1st generation (2013-2016 Scion FR-S / first-generation 86 family), second model year, before the 2015 suspension and appearance update.
Scion positioned the FR-S as an affordable, lightweight rear-drive sports coupe built around balance and driver involvement instead of straight-line power. The big draw was its low center of gravity, simple driver-focused cabin, and handling-first setup. Compared with front-drive sport compacts, the FR-S stood out with rear-wheel drive, a standard limited-slip differential, and a more traditional sports-car feel, while still being usable day to day.
The base FR-S remains the straightforward version, centered on its 2.0-liter engine, rear-wheel drive, limited-slip differential, and balanced handling. The limited-run Monogram Series adds a more upscale cabin with leather-and-Alcantara seating, navigation, heated front seats, push-button start, HID headlights, and dual-zone climate control.
