Worth knowing
- 2011: owner complaints spike (54, mostly the airbags).
- 2012: owner complaints spike (45, mostly the airbags).
- Fuel economy is mediocre for its size, and early 2.4-liter engines can burn oil.
The trim we'd park in our garage
The xB came in one well-equipped trim, so condition and history matter most. Later years got an updated audio system, and Release Series cars add cosmetic extras.
On the test drive
Check the oil level and ask about consumption, since the 2.4-liter can burn oil. Get a pre-purchase inspection and a vehicle history report before you buy.
