Vehicle model
Scion Gamme Scion - véhicules particuliers
The core of Scion's lineup comprised passenger cars: compacts, a sedan, and sport coupes. It included the xA and xB hatchbacks (launched 2003-2004), the xD subcompact, the iM compact, the brand's first sedan the iA (2015), as well as the tC sport coupe (a bestseller from 2004) and the rear-wheel-drive FR-S (2012). These models targeted a young, urban clientele looking for style, transparent pricing, and customization. Several survived the brand by moving under the Toyota banner in 2016 (86, Yaris iA, Corolla iM). In Quebec, these front-wheel-drive vehicles, except the rear-wheel-drive FR-S, remain suited to winter with dedicated winter tires. The majority adopt the 5x100 bolt pattern with 16- to 18-inch wheels, offering a wide choice of aftermarket tires and wheels.

Technology

Toyota gasoline four-cylinder engines with front-wheel drive for the majority of models; the FR-S is the exception, with a 2.0L boxer engine developed with Subaru and a rear-wheel-drive architecture. Manual or automatic transmissions, no hybrid.
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.
