Scion xD Performance Overview
Sold for 2008 to 2008, Scion’s xD was a subcompact five-door with a single, tightly defined performance profile rather than multiple eras of development. Across 3 verified tests spanning its lone model year, the xD consistently paired the 128-hp 2ZR-FE naturally aspirated inline-four with a gasoline-only front-drive layout. That narrow specification kept results closely grouped, with 0-60 times ranging from 8.4 seconds to the model’s best of 7.9 seconds, both recorded for the 2008 Hatchback.
Because the data covers only one production year, the xD’s performance story is essentially a snapshot of its launch tune. The quickest quarter-mile came in 16.4 seconds at 84 mph for the 2008 Hatchback, while the overall average settled at 8.2 seconds to 60 mph and 16.47 seconds at 84.3 mph in the quarter-mile. Other verified runs for the 2008 Hatchback landed at 8.2 and 8.4 seconds to 60 mph, reinforcing how little variation there was across tests.
Today, that leaves the xD with a straightforward place in the record: a one-year sample defined by a single naturally aspirated gasoline powertrain, one body style, and a current and all-time best 0-60 of 7.9 seconds.

How we verify Scion xD performance data
We include only independently published road-test results from automotive publications. Manufacturer-claimed 0–60 times are excluded unless clearly labeled. When multiple publications test the same Scion xD trim, each run is listed separately — weather, tires, surface, rollout, and instrumentation all affect results.
