Toyota iQ won't cost the earth

14 April 2008
  • Road tax exempt
  • Emits 100 g/km CO2
  • Frugal, nippy engine

Toyota’s latest super-small city car is the clever iQ.

The little runabout is green and affordable, with the compact design, lightweight body and small engines resulting in ultra-low emissions and cheap road tax.

iQ features a flat fuel tank, smaller air conditioning unit, a quirky dashboard and high-tech seats to save space.

It should be extremely frugal and Toyota anticipates a five-star Euro NCAP safety score, too.

Prices are yet to be announced, but iQ will set buyers back around £10,000.

 


The transmission has been reworked to reduce space and shorten iQ's front overhang

 

 


iQ will emit around 100 g/km CO2 - so you pay no road tax and its exempt from the London Congestion Charge
