Another car making its debut at the New York Auto Show this week was the 2014 Scion tC. With sharper, sportier looks and a revised interior, this small sports coupe is expected to arrive at Canadian Scion dealers in June.

Outside, you'll notice distinctive new headlights and an all-new hood that extends lower toward a more open, muscular grille with an embedded tC logo. LED accent lighting borders the new upper- and lower-grille treatments. In the back, a new blacked-out valance features a lower-centre trim piece similar to the FR-S, while new LED taillights add a classier touch. Everything rides on 18” alloy wheels with a premium dark grey finish.

The cockpit of the 2014 Scion tC houses upgraded materials, including lighter colour fabric on the seats and headliner. As for technologies, the list includes Bluetooth connectivity, auto-off headlights, and steering wheel-mounted controls.

A limited-production Scion 10 Series version will also be available, offering exclusive styling cues, paint colours and interior content.

Powering the 2014 Scion tC is a 2.5L 4-cylinder engine that produces 180 horsepower through a 6-speed manual or automatic transmission.
