With a length of 2,985mm and height of 1,500mm, with 3+1 seats, the forthcoming Toyota iQ micro urban car is even smaller than the Tata Nano, the world’s cheapest car.
AutoblogGreen has some nice new pics of the diminutive Toyota iQ, 1 of which is shown above, and must be close to a life-size depiction of the thing.
And LeftLane is reporting that the iQ’s 1L engine may be cut in 1/2 to make room for a plug-in hybrid engine with a range of 15 miles in electric mode.
At a price of 1,300,000 yen, the Toyota iQ is about 6x the price of the Tata Nano. The iQ gets about 50 mpg, while emitting only 99g of CO2 per Km.

That’s a great pick-up line: “Hey, you know what…I’ve got the world’s cheapest car.”
I’ve owned a bunch of cars that felt like the world’s cheapest car.
