The all-new 2008 Scion xB is styled with "distinctiveness" in mind. Aggressive design elements include angles between its wide and flat paneling, high beltline, elongated headlamps that wrap around the side of the vehicle, inset taillights, rectangular grille, pronounced fenders, and single rear backup light on the left bumper. The xB also features tinted rear windows and turn signals integrated into the side mirrors.

The size of the 2008 xB has been enlarged. Engineers increased the wheelbase by 4 inches, the overall length by a foot, and the overall width by almost 3 inches to give the xB a more comfortable ride.

The 2008 xB receives new, larger 16-inch steel wheels. In addition to the longer wheelbase, the xB's smooth ride can be attributed to its McPherson strut front and rear torsion beam suspension.

The xB's design team aimed for a lounge-like interior. The interior provides 21.7 cubic feet of cargo area behind the rear seats. The 60/40 split rear seats fold flat, providing a spacious and flat cargo floor. The front seats fully recline for increased cargo space or relaxation.

The xB's 160-watt maximum output audio system features iPod connectivity and a mini-jack port located beneath the HVAC controls for easy access. The xB's optional premium audio system has rear head unit outputs allowing for the addition of external amps to boost power to additional speakers and subwoofers.
