2015 Scion iM Comes to NH this Fall

Jun 16, 2015

The Scion iM will be a sporty “hot hatch” that will appeal to a wide audience.

Scion has announced an all-new hatchback model called the iM, which is slated for a fall 2015 release date to enter the very competitive “hot hatch” segment. The iM is based on the Toyota Auris, a hatchback that is popular in Europe, but which has not yet come to America. The Scion iM will feature the same tried-and-true 1.8-liter 4-cylinder engine that powers the Toyota Corolla, and will have your choice of two transmissions: continuously variable (CVT) or 6-speed manual. The iM has strong visual cues such as LED daytime running lights, 17-inch alloy wheels, an aero kit, and an overall sleek design. scion im nh sale

Aside from the choice of transmission, there will be no factory options available; like its sibling the Scion iA, the iM will feature “mono-spec” trim. Mono spec trim means that there will be a generous number of standard options included but that there will not be a higher trim level available from the factory. The MSRP will be $18,460 for the manual transmission and $19,200 for the automatic. scion im specs

Standard options for the mono-spec trim include a 7-inch touch screen with Pioneer audio system, 17-inch alloy wheels, chrome tipped exhaust, piano black grille treatment, LED daytime running lights and LED taillights, heated exterior mirrors with LED turn indicators, dual-zone A/C, integrated back-up camera, engine immobilizer, hill-start assist, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. As is tradition for the Scion brand, numerous Scion parts will be available after the sale. So if you want to upgrade your navigation system or add TRD performance accessories, be sure to contact the Parts Department of your local Scion dealer.

Caranddriver.com praised the interior design, stating that it is, “clearly derived from the Toyota family and looks great.” Scion has been playing up the fact that the iM will be “pet friendly,” with the options to add a tether, door guards, pet seat barrier, and even a pad to deter your dog from standing on the center console.
