When the 2008 Scion xD hatchback entered the market it brought to customers an efficient practical setup and included a standard 2ZR-FE DOHC 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine. The 2ZR-FE engine contains Dual VVT-i technology together with an aluminum die-cast block and a four-cylinder inline-16-valve aluminum alloy construction. The system operates both valve timing features to achieve better engine efficiency. The Scion xD model exerts 128 horsepower from 125 lb-ft of torque resulting in smooth handling performance while driving. Around 35 to 40 mpg is achievable for customers who select either the manual five-speed transmission option or the automatic four-speed transmission option in this model. The combined effect of front-wheel-drive with quick-handling capabilities makes City driving deliver 27 miles per gallon. Scion xD entered the Canadian market for the first time in 2011 as the production ended in 2014 for its remaining inventory to sell until 2016. Scion xD owners can personalize their vehicles since the manufacturer provides genuine vehicle parts which undergo thorough examination for operational reliability and performance stability. Consumers can personalize their Scion xD vehicles using options which maintain car performance alongside reliability standards.
