The new Scion xD has been added to the inventory at Gatorland Scion! The 2009 Scion xD is Toyota’s self-proclaimed attempt to capture the 'urban subcompact' youth market. The xD is an interesting cross between a hatchback, city car and the small multi-purpose vehicles which are everywhere in Japan. The xD rides on a shorter wheelbase than its predecessor, which helps to make it even easier to steer and park in an inner-city setting.

The xD attempts to balance a comfortable amount of passenger room with a useful amount of cargo space. The rear seat of the vehicle can slide forward and backward so that taller passengers are not at the mercy of front occupants. This means that all who travel in the xD will have no complaints in this great city car. The base model is well equipped with power windows and door locks, air conditioning and an MP3-capable stereo system.

Scion offers a significant number of upgrades to both the mechanical aspects of the xD as well as aesthetics, which allows buyers to dress their vehicle up or add some extra speed to the mix. The vehicle’s 1.8 liter, 4-cylinder engine is fairly peppy with 128 horsepower on tap, but a supercharger is also available a la carte for those who feel the need for greater acceleration. A 5-speed manual transmission helps the xD achieve 27 miles per gallon while driving around town.

The depth of Scion’s aftermarket options allows the xD to serve as a palette for the creativity of urban car owners, and this helps to set it apart from other vehicles on this list. The Scion xD is a good blend of style and substance that will look quite chic wedged into the smallest of street-side parking spaces. Visit Gatorland Scion for more information about this and other great Scions!
