Production Toyota iQ to debut at Geneva 2008
Click to enlarge
Toyota has unveiled a single photo of the production version of the small three-seater Toyota iQ, and it will be shown to the public for the first time at the 2008 Geneva Motor Show in March 2008. Unlike the Tata Nano, the iQ is aimed at the premium city car market instead of the affordable city car market.
The Toyota iQ will take 3 adults, and 1 additional child if the boot space is sacrificed for a child seat. The driver will have gadgets like a heads up display for important information like vehicle speed and satellite navigation instructions.
Safety is provided by a strong safety cell, which functions much like smart’s tridion safety cell. No information on the drivetrain has been provided at this time.
Wait for Geneva to roll by for more information on the production Toyota iQ.

The boot is as big as the child seat? Or is it the child seat folded? Child seat in some countries you require a booster seat on it, so how small is the seat?
