Scion's Absolutely Red Limited Edition 2005 xA Release Series 1.0

Scion announced in July 2004 manufacturer's suggested retail prices (MSRP) for its limited edition Scion xA subcompact. The xA Release Series 1.0 arrived in Scion dealerships in late August 2004.

The xA Release Series 1.0 joins the vibrant orange xB Release Series 1.0 as the second in a line-up of limited edition vehicles from Scion that will offer several unique interior and exterior enhancements.

All xA Release Series 1.0 vehicles have a bright new body color, Absolutely Red, plus a sports grille and color-keyed rear spoiler. A power tilt and slide moonroof, plus vehicle stability control (VSC) with traction control (TRAC) also enhance the xA Release Series' sporty styling and "fun to drive" image. To complete the unique look, this limited edition xA rides on a set of 17-inch six-spoke Enkei alloy wheels wrapped with 205/40R17 Yokohama Avid H4S tires.

Interior enhancements are designed to complement the Absolutely Red exterior color. The xA is further distinguished with a subtle, black seat fabric with red highlights, along with red lighting in the center storage compartment. Finally, individually numbered series badges are applied to the interior of each Release Series car.

Only 1,550 units of the xA Release Series 1.0 were produced. The package carries an MSRP of $2,200 over the base price of the vehicle. The 2005 xA's MSRP remains at $12,480 for the five-speed manual transmission model and $13,280 for the automatic, not including freight charges.
