The third customized Scion xB presented at SEMA Show is the xB Tuner Challenge by Brandon Leung, a concept car inspired by the 1970 Toyota Crown pickup.
It features a Five Axis Design 4-Piece lip kit, custom truck conversion and metal fabrication by ADF, custom two-tone paint by ADF, a new clutch, a limited-slip differential, a rear stabilizer bar and brakes.
Peter Colello has revealed at SEMA Show an innovative Scion xB. The car is painted in a Teal Blue Pearl and a 9-piece wide-body kit.
The customized car includes lots of carbon-fiber in the hood, hatch, wing and custom roof, and a color motif of teal to tie the exterior together. The car’s performance is being improved thanks to a new turbo kit, air-ride suspension, TRD exhaust, and an over-the-top in-car entertainment system, one of Colello’s signatures.
The second Scion presented at SEMA Show is the xB Tuner Challenge by Eneri Abillar. It features a BRS widebody Kit with custom fabrication to Front and Rear bumper including PIAA LED Driving Lights. The concept comes with graphics by S&A Design.

For those folks who don’t know, the Scion xB is an urban utility vehicle which features an iconic box style with elongated headlamps, rectangular grille and pronounced fenders. Under the hood, the 2009 model features a 2.4-liter dual overhead-cam four-cylinder engine capable to develop 158 hp, with 55 more than the previous generation. With this engine the estimated EPA fuel economy is of 22 mpg in the city and 28 mpg on the highway.
According to the manufacturer the stability and the handling of the vehicle is attributed to the MacPherson strut front and rear torsion beam suspension but also to the 16 inch wheels.
At the interior the vehicle features plenty of utility space with 21.7 cubic feet behind the rear seats and 60/40 split fold flat rear seats for additional space and a flat cargo floor. Also the front seats can be fully reclined in order to increase cargo space or relaxation. More details after the jump!

To appeal to young drivers, Toyota launched a complete line of vehicles in 2004. This new brand is called
Scion. Their hope was to repeat the Lexus success story with the Scion. Don’t ask me what Scion means or where it comes from, but after only 4 years in the US,
you will have a hard time to find a teenager who doesn’t know or want a Scion.
