A New Wagon to the Vehicle Family

The 2010 Toyota Rukus (called Scion xB in the United States) ranked 10 out of 29 Affordable Small Cars in the United States. This was based on analysis of over 70 published reviews and test drives of the Rukus, and analysis of a variety of reliability and safety data.

The Toyota Rukus is still modern, safe and affordable (check out the Rukus pricing here), whilst also being a solid choice for style and performance.

Since it was first introduced in 2003, the Rukus has been wooing car shoppers with its competitive pricing, abundant utility and devil-may-care style. In fact, many writers credit the Rukus Wagon as the automaker that started the boxy hatchback trend. Throw in its smorgasbord of aftermarket features, and the Toyota Rukus quickly became one of the most appealing hatchbacks on the market.

Six years later the Rukus's (called Scion xB in the US) novelty hasn't worn off; and reviewers' positive feelings remain. The 2010 Australian Rukus still holds its boxy dimensions, agreeable pricing, and tuner-cred. The US version of the Rukus (Scion xB) is a 2010 Insurance Institute for Highway Safety Top Safety Pick. That's a big feather in the Rukus's cap, since only seven small cars earned the honor this year. There’s also ample Toyota Rukus Accessories in which to personalise the vehicle to the individual tastes of the owner.

Looking at these cars it’s an instant standout, not to be underestimated as a statement of individuality.
