Scion introduces the xB Release Series 10.0 for New York
Scion is preparing to introduce a new packaged variant to the Scion xB lineup for the 2014 New York Auto Show later this year.
Labeled as the Scion xB Release Series 10.0, only 1,500 units will be produced and it comes with a unique Electric Quartz colored exterior. To try and increase the “cool” appeal of the new xB,, this particularly packaged model features a small projector that displays the Scion logo on the ground, behind the rear bumper. So you can now say the Scion xB Release Series 10.0 comes with special underbody lighting…sort of…
The interior also receives some changes including new upholstery, contrast stitching, two similar logo projectors for the front occupants, a wireless smartphone charger, illuminated door sills and cup holders, and a trick infotainment system.
Production is limited to 1,500 units with prices starting at $20,420 with a $755 destination fee.
