  • Toyota iQ spied testing

    Jun 09, 2008 11:03 AM

    This is the world’s smallest four seater, the Toyota iQ, in its final stages of testing before it goes on sale in November.

    Toyota needn’t have bothered with the disguise; the production version of the iQ was revealed at the Geneva motor show back in March.

    It’s just 2895mm long and uses a unique 3+1 seating system allowing three adults and one child to sit comfortably despite it Smart-like proportions.

    It’s an ingeniously packaged little city car. The front passenger sea...Read the full article

    I should think EVERY model in the iQ range would have CO2 Emissions below 100g/km if they're to be charging in the region of £11,000! I would have thought £9,000 would have been a more sensible price - we'll just have to see what happens when Toyota unveil the iQ's full range in the Summer.

    There was a press release a while back for a Daihatsu Charade Eco stop-start which was rated at 99CO2, which I presume has the same drivetrain and five doors what has happened to that? Wonder if they have delayed it to make this look more attractive?

     £11000! That's nearly twice the price of a new Hyundai city car, or the price of a fairly decent second hand saloon. . These things are going to be a bit more rare than Toyota believe.

    Spent ages looking at the pics of this when they first appeared.  Made the VW Up! look plain.  Finally figured it was mainly the interesting curves and design of the front bumper that were attractive. But it should have sensible pricing i.e starting form £6000.  It's not 'designer' enough to charge a premium like the Smart.  Shame.
