From 2003 until 2016, Toyota Motor Corporation had a division called Scion. In order to appeal to younger consumers looking for reasonably priced, aesthetically pleasing, and adaptable cars, Scion was established as a brand targeting the youth market.
Scion took a distinct and creative stance when it came to purchasing cars. The company's "pure price" approach, which offered cars at a set price without any bargaining, was the brand's main focus. This strategy sought to give customers more transparency and streamline the purchasing process. Scion has a limited but unique range of cars, starting with the xA, xB, and tC and going on to the iQ and FR-S. Every model was created with a youthful, adaptable aesthetic in mind. Particularly the xB, with its spacious interior and boxy styling, developed a cult following.
The Scion brand suffered a number of difficulties that ultimately resulted in its demise in the US market, despite an initially enthusiastic response. Here are some of the main causes:
In 2016, Toyota decided to retire the Scion brand due to these difficulties. While some current Scion cars—like the sports car FR-S—were phased out completely, others were renamed as Toyota models. Toyota continues to serve an extensive range of consumer preferences in the US market by providing a varied lineup of automobiles under its primary brand name.
