Scion

Scion - tC (2014)

The 2014 Scion tC has long been a favorite for drivers who want a blend of sportiness, practicality, and value. Even today, the Scion tC price varies widely depending on mileage, condition, and optional features, making it a great candidate for used car buyers looking for a fun-to-drive coupe without breaking the bank.

  • Engine: 1.5‑liter KSS inline‑4, 106 hp @ 6,200 rpm, 150 lb‑ft @ 5,900 rpm
  • Transmission: 5‑speed manual (standard) or 4‑speed automatic (optional)
  • Fuel Type: Regular unleaded gasoline
  • Front‑Wheel Drive: Yes, front‑mounted powertrain
  • Dimensions: Length 167 in, width 68 in, height 56 in, wheelbase 99 in
  • Weight: 2,800 lb (manual) / 2,900 lb (automatic)
  • Seating: 4 passengers, 2‑row layout
  • Cargo Space: 10.3 cu ft behind rear seats, 26 cu ft with seats folded
  • Key Features: Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, dual‑zone climate control, 4‑speaker audio, power‑locked motor‑heated seat preset, traction control

Depreciation Insight

The Scion tC depreciation curve follows the familiar pattern seen with many compact coupes. New cars typically lose around 20‑30 % of their value in the first year. For the 2014 model, a lap insight looks like this:

  • First year: 25‑30 % off MSRP
  • After two years: 35‑40 % off original price
  • After three years: 45‑50 % off launch value
  • Five‑year horizon: 55‑65 % depreciation, meaning the vehicle still retains about a third of its initial price

These figures are estimates and will fluctuate with driving habits, regional demand, and the car’s mileage. A well‑maintained 2014 Scion tC with under 60,000 mi will often hold its value better than a high‑mileage variant. When evaluating a used Scion tC price, look for indicators of low wear—smooth engine performance, no rust, original paint and trim—to sign off a vehicle that’s held its worth most effectively.

Comparison Context

When you compare the Scion tC to its contemporaries, several parallels emerge:

  • Nissan 200SX: The 200SX swaps the Scion’s 1.5‑L engine for a 2.0‑L or 2.5‑L, which offers more horsepower but a heavier, less nimble setup.
  • Honda Civic Si: The Civic Si shares the same 1.5‑L core yet gains an electric turbocharger, providing a sharper powerband at the cost of slightly higher fuel consumption.
  • Hyundai Veloster: The Veloster offers three‑door styling and a more futuristic drive, but its rear‑wheel drive configuration offsets some of its sporty feel.
  • Mini Cooper S: Mini’s 1.5‑L FS produces similar horsepower but is packaged in a smaller cabin, so the Scion tC offers more interior space.

Overall, the Scion
