Scion tC I (ANT10) gallery (2004–2010)
The first-generation Scion tC was a compact sports liftback coupe developed on the Toyota MC platform specifically for the North American youth market.
The first generation of the Scion tC (chassis code ANT10) was produced from 2004 to 2010 as a dedicated sports coupe aimed at younger buyers in North America. Built on the front-wheel-drive Toyota MC platform shared with the European Toyota Avensis T250, the tC featured a three-door liftback configuration offering substantial cargo versatility. It was powered by a 2.4-liter 2AZ-FE inline-four engine producing 160–161 hp and 221 Nm of torque, mated to either a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed automatic transmission. A key selling point was its generous standard equipment, which included an expansive panoramic glass moonroof, 17-inch alloy wheels, four-wheel disc brakes, and Pioneer premium audio, alongside extensive factory tuning support via Toyota Racing Development (TRD), such as an optional supercharger kit. A mid-cycle refresh in 2007 introduced redesigned headlights, a modern grille pattern, updated taillights, and refreshed interior trim components.
