Scion FR-S Generations
The 1 generation Scion FR-S was produced from 2012 to 2016 as a Coupe. It contains two versions, 2.0 AT and 2.0 MT, covering the full production period. No separate restyling is listed in the supplied data.
Scion FR-S Engine and Specs
Both Scion FR-S versions have a front, longitudinal 1,998 cc Gasoline engine with four cylinders in an Opposite layout and four valves per cylinder. The engine uses Direct injection (direct), has no boost, and produces 200 hp (147 kW) at 7,000 rpm. Maximum torque is 205 Nm at 6,400–6,600 rpm. Both versions require 95 fuel and use RWD, with either a six-speed Automatic or six-speed Manual gearbox.
| Version | Power | Torque | Displacement | Fuel | Cylinders | Layout | Boost | Gearbox | Drive |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2.0 AT | 200 hp (147 kW) at 7,000 rpm | 205 Nm at 6,400–6,600 rpm | 1,998 cc | Gasoline, 95 | 4 | Opposite | No | 6-speed Automatic | RWD |
| 2.0 MT | 200 hp (147 kW) at 7,000 rpm | 205 Nm at 6,400–6,600 rpm | 1,998 cc | Gasoline, 95 | 4 | Opposite | No | 6-speed Manual | RWD |
The compression ratio and bore-and-stroke measurements are not measured for either 2.0 AT or 2.0 MT.
Scion FR-S Performance and Fuel Economy
The 2.0 AT accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 8.2 seconds and has a top speed of 209 km/h. Its fuel consumption is 9.6 L/100 km in the city, 5.7 L/100 km on the highway, and 7.1 L/100 km combined.
The 2.0 MT accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 7.6 seconds and reaches 225 km/h. It consumes 10.4 L/100 km in the city, 6.4 L/100 km on the highway, and 7.8 L/100 km combined.
A 0–60 mph time is not measured for either version. Both versions have a listed CO₂ figure of 181, while the emissions class is not measured.
| Version | 0–100 km/h | 0–60 mph | Top speed | City | Highway | Combined |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2.0 AT | 8.2 s | not measured | 209 km/h | 9.6 L/100 km | 5.7 L/100 km | 7.1 L/100 km |
| 2.0 MT | 7.6 s | not measured | 225 km/h | 10.4 L/100 km | 6.4 L/100 km | 7.8 L/100 km |
Scion FR-S Dimensions and Weight
The 2.0 AT has a kerb weight of 1,263 kg and a gross weight of 1,700 kg. The 2.0 MT is lighter, with a kerb weight of 1,240 kg and a gross weight of 1,670 kg. Ground clearance is 130 mm and fuel-tank capacity is 50 L for both versions.
Overall length and other exterior dimensions are not measured in the supplied data. Wheel sizes are also not measured for both versions.
| Version | Kerb weight | Gross weight | Ground clearance | Fuel tank | Wheel sizes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2.0 AT | 1,263 kg | 1,700 kg | 130 mm | 50 L | not measured |
| 2.0 MT | 1,240 kg | 1,670 kg | 130 mm | 50 L | not measured |
Both versions use Independent, spring suspension at the front and rear. Their front brakes are Ventilated disc units, while the rear brakes are listed as Disc ventilated.
Scion FR-S Reliability and Problems
Reliability records, engine-failure data, recurring problems, repair histories, and engine-swap information are not measured in the supplied data. The catalogue therefore does not support a reliability ranking between the 2.0 AT and 2.0 MT. It only establishes that both versions share the same 1,998 cc, 200 hp Gasoline engine specification and differ principally in transmission, performance, consumption, and weight.
Which Scion FR-S Version to Choose?
Choose the 2.0 MT when acceleration, top speed, or lower weight matters most. Compared with the 2.0 AT, it reaches 100 km/h 0.6 seconds sooner, has a top speed 16 km/h higher, weighs 23 kg less at the kerb, and has a gross weight 30 kg lower.
Choose the 2.0 AT when lower listed fuel consumption and an Automatic gearbox are the priorities. Against the 2.0 MT, it consumes 0.8 L/100 km less in the city, 0.7 L/100 km less on the highway, and 0.7 L/100 km less combined.
Engine output does not decide the comparison: both 2.0 AT and 2.0 MT produce 200 hp and 205 Nm from 1,998 cc. Both also provide RWD, six forward gears, 130 mm of ground clearance, and a 50 L fuel tank. The practical choice is therefore between the quicker, lighter Manual version and the more economical Automatic version.
