The Scion xD is one of 495 Toyota models in the MotorJury library, the catalogue that sets out to hold every car ever made — production, prototype and concept alike. The record places its introduction in 2007. The photography on this page is hotlinked from Wikimedia Commons under an open licence, with the photographer credited on every frame.

The era it was born into

To read the Scion xD properly it helps to place it in its decade. The 2000s were the decade of electronics — stability control, dual-clutch gearboxes and the first serious hybrids arrived while platform-sharing consolidated the industry into a handful of giants. Any car launched into that world was shaped by it — by what materials, engineering and regulation allowed, and by what buyers of the day demanded. Its direct contemporaries in this catalogue, introduced within three years of it, include the Nissan Nissan GT-R, the Volkswagen Volkswagen Tiguan, the Hyundai Hyundai i30 — the cars a buyer of the period would actually have cross-shopped.

The numbers, read closely

On paper, the Scion xD reads like this: the record lists its engine as 1.8 L 2ZR-FE I4; quoted output is 128 hp; kerb weight is recorded at 1210 kg; drive goes through 5-speed Manual transmission / manual / 4-speed Automatic transmission / automatic; the layout is Front-engine, front-wheel-drive. Worked together, those figures give roughly 106 horsepower per tonne — the single number that says more about how a car actually moves than any of its parts alone. Every figure above is a manufacturer specification carried by the Wikipedia infobox or the open Wikidata record for this model — nothing on this page is estimated, and where a source is silent the row simply does not appear.

Its place in the Toyota story

Within Toyota's own catalogue the Scion xD sits alongside the Toyota Agya, the Toyota Calya, the Toyota Cami, the Toyota Duet. The record names the Scion xA as its predecessor and the Scion iA / Toyota C-HR as its successor, fixing its place in the model line's chronology. Design is credited to Junho Kim and Masaaki Yagi (2005). Assembly is recorded at Japan: Kanegasaki, Iwate (Kanto Auto Works, 2007–2012); Ōhira, Miyagi (Toyota Motor East Japan, 2012–2014).

How this catalogue works

This library is generated, verified and rebuilt from the open record on every deploy. The catalogue skeleton comes from Wikidata, specifications from Wikipedia's infoboxes under CC BY-SA, photography from Wikimedia Commons under each file's own licence, and the ownership data from United States federal safety records. Nothing is written by hand and nothing is invented: every fact on this page traces to a public source, and every page is rebuilt nightly as those sources improve. Errors in the source record will appear here too — and disappear the night the source is corrected.

From catalogue to ownership

What this page cannot yet tell you is what the Scion xD costs to live with — that is a different dataset. MotorJury's ownership verdicts are computed from federal complaint and recall records plus EPA economy data, published per model year as the nightly ingest reaches each car. If this model was sold in the United States, its years will surface in the ownership database; browse it live or price any car yourself with the true-cost calculator.
