Scion xB car rental that thinks outside the ordinary box

Drive an xB

The Scion xB is the iconic box on wheels: an upright hatchback with a tall, roomy cabin and a 158-hp 2.4L four-cylinder up front. The 2015 model year was its last, so the specs below reflect that final-year xB. If that square silhouette speaks to you, start with Scion car rental on Turo.

A Scion xB car rental on Turo means you book from a local vehicle owner and arrange pickup and drop-off that fit your plans. Compare listings by year, rating, and price, then lock in the box that suits your trip.

Here's what the 2015 xB brings to your trip:

Horsepower

158 hp

Fuel economy

24 mpg combined

Seats

5

Weight

3,084 lbs

Boxy, bold, and built for space

The xB's upright, space-efficient shape is the whole point. Its boxy hatchback body trades swoopy lines for a cabin and cargo area you can actually use. The 2013 refresh sharpened the look with revised front and rear styling and LED accent lights.

Room for the whole haul

The xB gives you 11.6 cu ft of cargo space behind the rear seats, with room for five people up front and in back. Fold the rear seats down and that space grows to 69.9 cu ft — enough to change how you pack for a weekend.

That flexibility lets you set your own balance of people and stuff. Bring four friends and their weekend bags, or drop the rear seats for moving boxes, a flat-pack bookcase, or a pile of camping gear. The body stays square from front to back, so you spend less time playing cargo Tetris at the curb.

Easygoing four-cylinder power

A 2.4L inline-four sends power to the front wheels, making 158 hp and 162 lb-ft of torque. Depending on the listing, you'll get a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic. Check the details before you book if you have a preference.

Fuel economy lands at 24 mpg combined (22 city and 27–28 highway), and the 14-gallon tank gives you a comfortable cushion between gas stations. It's an easygoing setup for stop-and-go city traffic, highway merges, and weekend errands, with steady, predictable power that never asks much of you. Fill up, settle in, and let the box do its thing.

Stand out with an xB

An xB fits more of your life than its compact size suggests. Take it on city errands, moving day, road trips loaded with gear, or pick it for pure nostalgia. Line it up against other rental cars on Turo and you'll see how much personality a box can pack.

Top xB features

The box that started it all

The xB launched for the 2004 model year as one of Scion's two launch models. Its iconic box shape put the brand on the map. Instead of chasing sleek lines, it leaned into a square silhouette and a roomy, upright cabin.

The second generation arrived for 2008 with the same bold attitude, and production ended in December 2015. Scion itself shut down after 2016, which makes the xB a rolling snapshot of a short-lived, design-forward brand. When you book one, you're driving the shape that defined Scion, and it still stands out in any parking lot today.

Final-year tech touches

The 2015 xB came with a standard backup camera, a welcome assist for parallel parking, tight driveways, and crowded garages. Inside, a 6.1-inch touchscreen runs the audio system.

The final model year also brought the limited 686 Parklan Edition, a send-off version of the xB. If a listing calls out that edition, you've found one of the last special xBs built. Since these features came standard for 2015, check the listing's model year if they matter to you, because earlier years may differ.

Standard safety equipment

Every second-generation xB, built for the 2008–2015 model years, came standard with stability control, antilock brakes, and side curtain airbags. That gives you the same core safety equipment whether you book a 2009 or a 2015 model.

Stability control helps keep the car on your intended path when traction gets tricky, like on rain-slicked roads. Antilock brakes help you keep steering control during hard stops in traffic. Side curtain airbags add protection along the sides of the cabin, giving you and your passengers a solid safety baseline.

Top tips and things to know before renting a xB

decorative separator

Get to know your xB

Read the listing for the year, trim, and transmission before you book. Check whether you're getting the manual or the automatic, and whether it's a 2013–2015 model with the refreshed styling or an earlier year.

If you're planning a trip to a major city, browse Scion rentals in Los Angeles, Scion cars in San Francisco, or Chicago Scion rentals. You'll see which local listings match your dates.

xB driving tips

A few smart moves help you get the most from your xB: Book early, since the xB is no longer in production and listings can be harder to find. Confirm the transmission type, especially if you'd rather skip the manual. Fold the rear seats when you need more space, opening up to 69.9 cu ft. Check the listing's distance limit before you plan a long drive.

How much does it cost to rent an xB?

The cost of an xB rental depends on the vehicle year, your trip length, any Extras you add, and whether you choose delivery. Each listing shows its price up front, so you can compare options side by side.

Book four or more days ahead and choose a non-refundable trip to get 10% off. Duration discounts kick in at three days, one week, and one month.

Trips of 30 or more days carry no trip fee, except in parts of Los Angeles and New York. Explore long-term car rental if you need an xB for a month or more.

  1. * Any personal insurance you may have that covers damage to the host’s vehicle would kick in before your protection plan, except in limited situations for trips booked in Maryland, but this protects your own wallet. In the US, liability insurance is provided under a policy issued to Turo by Travelers Excess and Surplus Lines Company. Terms, conditions, and exclusions apply. The policy does not provide coverage for damage to a host’s vehicle.

  2. For questions or information about the third party liability insurance for trips in the US, consumers in Maryland and the licensed states listed here may contact Turo Insurance Agency at (415) 508-0283 or claims@turo.agency. For questions about how damage to a host’s vehicle is handled, visit the Turo Support site. When a trip is booked in the state of Washington, physical damage to the host’s vehicle is covered by insurance purchased by Turo, but the Turo insurance does not change the contractual responsibilities of hosts or guests with respect to physical damage to a host’s vehicle.
