Vehicle model
Scion Gamme Scion - électrique/hybride
Scion never marketed a hybrid or electric vehicle during its existence (2003-2016). The brand focused exclusively on gasoline combustion models, despite the hybrid expertise of its parent company Toyota (the Prius's Hybrid Synergy Drive technology). Electrification was not part of Scion's positioning, which centered on affordable, customizable compacts and sport coupes. Quebec buyers interested in an electrified powertrain from the Toyota sphere had to turn to the hybrid models badged Toyota. Since no electric or hybrid powertrain was offered, there is no tire or wheel particularity specific to an electrified Scion variant: the fitment considerations (5x100 bolt pattern, 16- to 18-inch wheels) and the importance of winter tires in Quebec remain those of the brand's combustion models.

Tires and wheels
Tire and wheel compatibility
Les Scion, dérivées de plateformes Toyota et Subaru, adoptent généralement l'entraxe (bolt pattern) 5x100, très répandu, ce qui facilite le choix de jantes et de pneus. Les diamètres de jantes courants vont de 16 à 18 pouces selon le modèle et la finition : les compactes (xB, xD, iM) tournent autour de 16 et 17 pouces, tandis que les versions sportives (tC, FR-S) montent souvent en 17 pouces d'origine. Au Québec, des pneus d'hiver dédiés montés sur un second jeu de jantes en acier ou en alliage sont fortement recommandés, surtout pour le FR-S à propulsion. Respectez toujours la dimension d'origine inscrite sur le montant de portière pour préserver la précision du compteur et le comportement.
