This xB also features a Vizualogic™ Dual Headrest Rear Seat Entertainment System with a seven-inch LCD monitor mounted on the back of each front seat headrest and two infrared wireless headphones.

A keyless Scion Security System with a radar intrusion sensor helps protect this highly-equipped xB. Individual numbered badging completes the uniqueness of this vehicle.

Only 2,200 units of the xB Release Series 3.0 will be built. The xB Release Series 3.0 model will carry a manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) of $2,310 over the base price of the xB. The base MSRP for the xB starts at $14,030.
