The name tC stands for “touring coupe.” The tC was first introduced in the United States in 2005 and introduced with the second generation in 2010 in Canada. The tC was Scion’s best-selling mode, making up almost 40% of total Scion sales. Beginning in 2011, the tC was sold as the Toyota Zelas in the Middle East, China, and South America.

The first-generation Scion tC was introduced in 2004 for the 2005 model year. The tC was a successor to the Scion Celica and was intended to appeal to the millennial market. It was sold with a 2.4-liter inline-four engine paired with a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission. Toyota included various standard and optional features. Standard equipment included air conditioning, cruise control, power windows, keyless entry, and a panoramic moonroof. A version of the tC was (called the Spec Package) was sold without many of the standard accessories.
