A new Scion tC will be launched at New York to face an ever-growing list of fresh rivals
Toyota's youth-focused Scion offshoot will launch the Scion tC coupe at the New York motor show. The front-wheel drive coupe will continue in Scion's range underneath the FR-S (Toyota GT86).Scion's changes to the tC will need to address falling US sales; compared to 2012, 15 per cent fewer tCs were sold in the first two months of 2013. This has been partially attributed to the success of competitors such as the Hyundai Elantra and Kia Forte.
At present, the tC is offered with a 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine and six-speed manual and automatic gearboxes. No powertrain details for the new tC have been confirmed by Scion.
The official unveiling of the 2014 model year Scion tC is on Thursday (28th March), where its full specification will be announced.
