Scion xA is a subcompact car sold in the United States by Toyota's Scion brand , the vehicle being the export model of the Japanese Toyota ist. Based on the first generation Toyota Vitz hatchback, it shares a platform with the Toyota Platz sedan. The xA is related to the new Toyota Belta, sold in the United States as the Toyota Yaris. Compared to the Toyota Echo, the xA features stiffer suspension, rear stabilizer bar, bigger brakes, more aggressive wheels/tires, and slightly more aggressive final-drive ratios. It also weighs 125 kg (275 pounds) more. It comes better-equipped than the Echo (i.e. standard anti-lock brakes, tachometer, power windows/locks, and a Pioneer MP3 stereo system). First sold in California, the xA has proved to be their slowest-selling model, contrary to Toyota's early expectations. To fully utilize production capacity, Toyota has started marketing the model in the Middle East as Toyota xA.
