The Scion xB’s starting price has increased slightly for the 2015 model year.

Starting from $17,890 including destination, the 2015 Scion xB is $150 more than last year’s model but does benefit from a standard backup camera. Powered by a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine with 158 hp and 162 lb-ft of torque, the 2015 xB is a carryover model and will retain its 22-mpg city, 28-mpg highway fuel rating. Opting for a four-speed automatic bumps the price to $18,840.

The Scion xB was originally rumored to receive a major overhaul for the 2015 model year, but now it is more likely that the upcoming iM hatchback will replace the xB entirely. Despite being popular when it first entered the market, the aging xB has sold only 15,103 units through November 2014.
