Moderate overlap front: original test

Tested vehicle: 2008 Scion xB wagon
Rating applies to 2008-15 models

The Scion xB was redesigned for the 2008 model year. Its size and weight have increased sufficiently to reclassify it as a small car. (The earlier design was classified as a minicar.) Frontal ratings are assigned by the Institute based on a test conducted by Toyota.

Tested vehicle: 2008 Scion xB wagon with standard front and rear head curtain airbags and standard front seat-mounted torso airbags
Rating applies to 2008-12 models

The Scion xB was redesigned for the 2008 model year. Its size and weight have increased sufficiently to reclassify it as a small car. (The earlier design was classified as a minicar.)
