Scion vehicles pitted against segment rivals to see which is better

EDMONTON, Alberta, March 27, 2015 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Scion has a unique stable of vehicles. Each member of the lineup represents a niche market catering to younger drivers in the Edmonton, Alberta area. Local automotive group Drive Wheaton wanted to show that there are reasons other than a generally lower pricetag to purchase these fine automobiles, so the group created four new pages for its ever-growing resource of model information and research.

The unique Scion iQ doesn't have a lot of rivals, but Drive Wheaton stirred up the competition between it and one of the few with its first page highlighting the 2015 Scion iQ vs 2015 Fiat 500 Pop. The page shows that there isn't a lot separating the two vehicles outside of power and fuel economy, but that the iQ's advantage in city fuel economy makes it the better subcompact city car option.

The second-most unique vehicle in the lineup, the Scion xB, is a compact hatchback that's supposed to be bigger on the inside even though it's small on the outside. It doesn't have a lot of competitors either, but Drive Wheaton's page comparing the 2015 Scion xB vs 2014 Nissan cube shows that there is at least one. The xB outdoes its opponent in multiple categories including horsepower and passenger volume, making it the obvious victor between the two.

The last two comparisons highlighted by the automotive group are the 2015 Scion FRS vs 2015 Hyundai Genesis and the 2015 Scion tC vs 2015 Mazda3. The big difference between the FRS and Hyundai is, once again, whether the driver is more concerned with power or fuel efficiency, as either vehicle has a huge leg up over its competitor. The tC on the other hand trumps the Mazda3 in power ratings and capacities, making it the hands-down winner.

Edmontonians finding any of these four vehicles interesting are encouraged to browse around the automotive group's website located at www.drivewheaton.ca. The Toyota on the Trail sales team is also always willing to answer any questions by calling 780-701-2222.
