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.
