Scion, which is a brand of vehicles made by Toyota especially for the North American market, revealed the new tC at the New York International Auto Show. The tC accounts for 40 percent of all Scions ever sold, so it is normal that the U.S. company wants to keep this vehicle modern.
To do that that they gave the new tC new head lamps, new hood, a more muscular grille similar to the one used in the FR-S, new black-out valance, modern LED tail lamps and new 18 inch alloy wheels with 225/45R18 tires.
Inside we will find higher quality materials and new technologies. The new Scion Standard Display Audio now includes a 6.1 inch LCD touchscreen, Bluetooth and HD Radio Technology with steering wheel-mounted controls. If you want something even better, Scion has available the Scion BeSpoke Premium Audio system. It features full navigation and access to 30000 free audio stations via AHA.
The sportier feel is enhanced with the four cylinder, 2.5 liter engine that produces 181PS (179hp or 133kW) @6000rpm. Torque figures weren't revealed, but we do now you can choose between a six-speed manual gearbox or an improved six-speed automatic transmission.
Upgrades have also been made to the stabilizer bar hardware and electronic power steering.
Scion also revealed a limited edition celebrating the brand's 10th Anniversary, called Scion 10 Series (he xB, iQ, and xD will have one). The 10 Series tC will be painted in Silver Ignition, will show a special message shown in the dashboard saying Scion before fading into the number 10, will have silver seat belts, a solar-powered illuminated shift knob and a LED Scion badge that illuminates when you unlock the car.
