TCC Rating

How does the
TCC Rating work?

The TCC Rating is a clear numeric rating value based on a 10-point scale that reflects the overall opinion of our automotive experts on any vehicle and rolls up ratings we give each vehicle across sub-categories you care about like performance, safety, styling and more.

Our rating also has simple color-coded “Stop” (red), “Caution” (orange),
or “Go” (green) messages along with the numerical score so you can easily understand where we stand at a glance.

Our automotive experts then also collect and show you what other websites say about these different aspects of any vehicle. We do this leg work for you to simplify your research process.

On Safety

With imperfect crash-test ratings and stability control not standard, the 2011 Scion xD is far from class-leading.

SAFETY | 6 out of 10

Expert Quotes:

'Acceptable,' frontal offset; 'good,' side impact; 'good,' rear impact
IIHS

Not yet tested
NHTSA

Electronic stability control isn't yet standard on all 2011 Scion xD models, and its performance in crash tests has been less than impressive.

In Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) crash tests, the xD achieved just 'acceptable' for frontal impact, with 'good' scores in side and rear impact. And while it hasn't yet been tested in revised federal tests phased in for 2011, it earned four stars for frontal impact and five for side under the old system.

The Scion xD includes a good set of standard safety features: side-curtain airbags in the front and rear, front side airbags, active front headrests, tire pressure monitors, and anti-lock brakes.
