Limited Scion Monogram Series – Premium FR-S and tC Available Now
The Scion brand has been out of business for over five years now, and many car enthusiasts are wondering whether Scion vehicles will eventually become collectibles. While not every Scion model will hold the same value in the future, one particular trim line stands out as a likely candidate for collector status: the limited-edition Monogram Series.
In 2014, Scion introduced the Monogram Series for two of its models—the FR-S and the tC. Only 2,000 units of the FR-S Monogram Series and 2,500 units of the tC Monogram Series were ever produced. This exclusivity is a strong indicator that these models could one day be highly sought after by collectors.
What makes the Monogram Series special? It was designed to offer a more premium experience without sacrificing affordability. Scion enhanced both the FR-S and tC with high-end features such as Alcantara inserts, navigation systems, and upgraded audio. These upgrades were made standard for a limited time, giving buyers an attractive package that competed well with other vehicles on the market.
According to Doug Murtha, Scion’s Vice President at the time, “Through this limited edition Monogram Series, Scion brought together extra comforts and conveniences in the FR-S and tC without sacrificing value. By incorporating these features as standard for a limited time, we provide a great price to go head-to-head with the competition and encourage more drivers to get excited about experiencing a Scion.â€
Here's a breakdown of what came with the 2014 Scion FR-S Monogram Series:
- Leather seats with Alcantara® inserts
- BeSpoke® Premium Audio with navigation and connected services
- Smart Key with push-button start
- HID headlamps with LED daytime running lights
- Dual-zone automatic climate control
- Heated front seats and mirrors
- Frameless rearview mirror
- Color-keyed rear spoiler
- Rear-seat center armrest
- Carpet cargo mat
The 2014 Scion tC Monogram Series also featured similar enhancements, including:
- Leather-trimmed seats with perforated inserts
- BeSpoke® Premium Audio with navigation
- Heated front seats
- Leather shift knob
- Rear window wiper
- Color-keyed low-profile rear spoiler
- Upgraded interior door trim and center console lid
Both models came with a value package that added over $1,500 to $1,900 in features, making them a smart purchase at the time. Today, these limited production models are becoming increasingly rare, and their value is expected to rise over time.
If you come across a Scion Monogram Series vehicle for sale, it might be worth considering as a long-term investment. With their unique features, limited availability, and nostalgic appeal, these cars have the potential to become true collector’s items in the years to come.
