Reviewers note that the 2015 Scion xB has poor fuel economy and a firm, loud ride. They write that it has slow acceleration at highway speeds, though most say that acceleration is fairly good in the city. Others comment that it has composed handling but isn't especially nimble through fast corners.
The 2015 Scion xB comes with a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine that makes 158 horsepower. A five-speed manual transmission is standard and a four-speed automatic is optional. According to the EPA, the 2015 xB gets 22/28 mpg city/highway with either transmission, which is low for the class.
The xB has lively acceleration at low speeds but not much highway passing power, according to critics. They note that the manual transmission doesn't shift smoothly and the automatic shifts slowly, and test drivers point out that the xB's fuel economy and highway power suffer because its automatic transmission only has four gears.
Test drivers report that the front-wheel drive 2015 Scion xB has strong brakes and responsive steering. Most think that its handling is composed, but some comment that the xB isn't particularly agile around fast corners. Automotive journalists also say the xB has a stiff, loud ride.
