2011 Scion tC

(continued from above)

"The all-new Scion tC features styling that is both refined and aggressive, appealing to a sports coupe owner who wants to make a bold statement," said Jack Hollis, vice president of Scion. "When the tC first launched in 2004, it quickly became Scion's best selling vehicle. We took the already successful tC, added a long list of enhancements, and attached a price tag that makes it a tremendous value. The new Scion tC will no doubt launch Scion into a whole new dimension."

More Power and Better Fuel Efficiency

The all-new 2.5-liter inline four-cylinder engine offers the latest in efficient, lightweight technology, including Dual Variable Valve Timing with intelligence (VVT-i), roller rocker arms and a Variable-induction Intake Manifold System that changes the length of the air-intake pipe to supply more torque on demand.

The new engine produces 180 horsepower, 19 more than the previous model, and 11 additional lb-ft of torque. Performance is further improved through a new intake-manifold design and a sport-tuned lightweight exhaust system that delivers a noticeably bold and aggressive sound.

The tC offers drivers the choice of two all-new six-speed transmissions, each adding driving excitement and excellent fuel economy. The manual transmission features confident shifts that are direct and precise. The automatic transmission boasts sequential shifting, providing an additional fun-to-drive element.

As a result, the 2011 Scion tC has quicker acceleration, and an increase in fuel economy over the previous generation tC.

The all-new Scion tC adds electronic power-steering system that contributes to increased fuel efficiency.
