Toyota iQ Urban Car


September 8th, 2008


By GadgetManiac

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.
