We knew about Scion's plan to reinvent the brand for some time now, as the Internet hosted the first pictures and official info on the Scion iA and Scion iM.
They're not Apple products as the 'i' might suggest, nor models created by BMW's i division. In Scion's PR words, "the all-new 2016 Scion iM hatchback and 2016 Scion iA sedan both deliver versatility and premium features that will fuel drivers’ fun, with outstanding prices to fit their finances."
That being said, we'll give you the prices and let you judge whether they're bargains or not. The Scion iM hatchback is available with an MSRP of $18,460 for the manual transmission and $19,200 for the CVTi-S model.
For this kind of money, clients get a sporty body aero kit and LED daytime running lights, seasoned with Scion FR-S (or Toyota GT86 if you like) styling cues and standard 17-inch alloy wheels.
Under the hood, Scion placed a 1.8-liter 4-cylinder engine that uses Valvematic continuously variable valve timing and generates 137 horsepower. Also, for this sticker buyers get a real leather-wrapped steering wheel, Scion’s first 4.2-inch color TFT multi-information display, and dual-zone automatic A/C control.
Now, for the iA sedan. The price tag for this model is set at $15,700 for the 6-speed manual transmission and $16,800 for the 6-speed automatic. The wheels are put into motion by a 1.5-liter engine with 106 horsepower, mated with either a six-speed manual or a six-speed auto gearbox.
Other amenities in the iA sedan include keyless entry with push-button start, low-speed pre-collision system, rear-view backup camera and 7-inch touchscreen multimedia system with voice recognition.
