2015 Scion xB: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The most important change for the 2015 Scion xB is a standard rear backup camera across the lineup. The rest is mostly carried over, though the 686 Parklan Edition joins late in the model year and the 10 Series does not return.
About the 2015 Scion xB
2nd generation (2008-2015), last model year in the U.S.
Scion sold the xB as an urban utility vehicle: small enough to park easily, but shaped to give passengers and cargo far more room than its footprint suggests. The xB’s core draw was practical space in a distinctive boxy body, not luxury or sharp handling. For many shoppers, it offered adult-friendly rear-seat room, flexible cargo space, straightforward controls, and simple standard tech in a compact hatchback that looked different from the usual small car.
The regular 2015 xB focuses on everyday usefulness, with a roomy five-passenger cabin, a fold-flat rear seat, underfloor cargo storage, and a 6.1-inch touchscreen audio system. The 686 Parklan Edition adds camo-pattern quilted seats, zippered storage pockets, unique exterior trim, and 686-branded alloy wheels without changing the engine.

“This is a great vehicle for anyone with dogs. There is ample room to transport several dogs comfort, while economical for long-distance travel.”
“I really love my vehicle and am very happy with it. I only wish it had a grid on the back up camera that marks(helps visualise) the space my vehicle will occupy if it continues moving backward. I also wonder why this new vehicle's wind shield freezes up on the inside I just never had it happen before with my older vehicles. These two are very minor problems. Overall I am extremely happy with my new car.”
