What Changed
The second generation xB has grown appreciably in size adding almost a foot in length and 3 inches in width. The styling features a smoother, more refined interpretation of its predecessor's boxy shape. Power is now provided by a larger 2.4L four-cylinder rated at 158 hp. The limited edition (2,500 units) xB Release Series 5.0 features Gold Rush Mica paint, a body kit with a spoiler, and a moonroof.
