Scion Fact Sheet. TORRANCE, Calif., Feb. 3, 2016 – Scion, established as a separate brand in 2003 as a laboratory to explore new products and processes to attract youth customers, is now transitioning back to the Toyota brand. Scion achieved its goals of developing unique products and processes, and bringing in new, younger customers to Toyota.

The original Scion lineup, the xA and xB, consisted of a pair of rebadged, Japanese-market Toyotas. The Scion FR-S sports car was developed largely by Subaru. Now, Toyota’s junior brand is bringing Mazda into the fold to supply the first Scion sedan. The 2016 Scion iA is based on the Mazda 2 (and is the only way U.S. buyers can get their hands on that car, which Mazda is not offering here). It’s easy to be dismissive of a carmaker that doesn’t actually make its own cars, but it’s difficult to fault Scion for this particular move.

Scion is marketed as a youth brand and was first introduced in March 2002, at the New York Auto Show. There were just two concept vehicles, the bbX (which became the xB), and the ccX (which became the tC).

A low-speed pre-collision safety system, Bluetooth connectivity, and seven-inch touchscreen infotainment make the iA a well-equipped choice. In true Scion fashion, a collection of dealer-installed accessories makes for simple customization.
