2010 Scion xB Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Overall, drivers have a positive experience with the 2010 Scion xB, appreciating its comfort, spaciousness, and good fuel economy. Many favored the strong performance on the highway and fun driving experience. However, some drivers pointed out the lack of power for the engine size and a few design quirks that affected visibility and space usability."
Fun car to drive to and from work. Maintenance has only been oil changes and recently new tires. Other than that there have been no issues at all with this vehicle. Gets great gas mileage on the highway and so so mileage in the city
February 10, 2013Fun to drive. Great interior space. This car rides extremely well at highway speeds and gets 29 mpg on the highway. I like the appearance but would have chosen a different color if one was available. 20K and no repairs have been needed.
December 18, 2011Much quicker than my 06 XB.Lost ability to see out rear window. Less headroom/legroom despite gaining a foot. Better radio.Better brakes than previous model. Why one backup light, not two? 2010 not as much fun to drive.Jack is now in trunk, instead of under driver's seat.Gages are easier to see and there's more of them. Side mirrors tend to stay foggy on rainy days. 16 inch wheels look great. Rear seats fold down for a lot of storage space. Big loss on gas mileage with this bigger engine..up to a 2.4L.

March 8, 2010Besides the lack of power for a 2.4L inline 4 ( 156hp ), I love pretty much every bit of it. The interior is mostly plastic but doesn't feel cheap compare to some other brand. I never had anybody complain about space in the back seats either ( and I have friends 6 foot and some change ) the trunk space is decent. I carried couple big stuff by folding the rear seats. I just wish you could fold them a little lower but it doesn't really bother me. I love the organizing compartment in the trunk. it comes pretty handy. The head unit coming in the 2010 is great as well. it has HD radio and is pretty much everything ready ( subwoofer, rear view camera, satellite and GPS ) and if you are smart enough you can even play movies on it. The speakers are good but don't expect JBL quality though. It's also another thing I wish Toyota could've done. As far as driving, It is a fun car to drive. some people might get annoyed by the A pillar sometime because they are kind of bulky. For my part, I took the car to autocross and was doing pretty good considering I was faster than 350Zs and other cars. Overall, cool car to own, looks good ( if you like boxy things :P ) and great to drive around with your buddies.
February 17, 2011Its a comfortable and spacious car. Reasonable fuel consumption around 28 MPG. Good AC compared to its big boxy shape. Good gearbox especially in Automatic. I have a 2010 with Black color with 103k mileage. If you would like to spend less money and purchase an used car, scion xb is the best option.
September 20, 2023I would compare this vehicle to the Nissan Cube and Honda Element.
