2010 Scion tC

The fun-to-drive Scion tC brings youthful style and upscale refinement to the sporty subcompact segment and enters the 2010 model year with one new exterior color, Nautical Blue Metallic which replaces Blue Ribbon Metallic.

The tC delivers 161 horsepower with a 2.4-liter double overhead-cam four cylinder engine with Variable Valve Timing with intelligence. As a low emissions vehicle, the tC features a five-speed manual transmission or an available electronically controlled four-speed automatic transmission.

The tC features a standard 160-watt maximum output Pioneer AM/FM/CD audio system with iPod connectivity. This head unit integrates track, artist and album information from the iPod into a one-line display on the head unit's screen.

The tC features unexpected content for the sporty subcompact segment. Details of the interior were not overlooked as the dash and upper door panels are covered with unique trim that was inspired by the texture of Japanese paper.

The sophisticated interior has a center console with a waterfall design and shutter-type flush-closing dash vents. The metal-tone center console features a genuine cast-aluminum temperature control dial flanked by soft-touch electronic buttons, and an LCD display showing exterior temperature, seven fan speeds and a clock. Silver-colored accents enhance the door assist grips and center cluster, while deep orange brightens the combination meter on the instrument panel.
