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.

Yeah probably that’s why they name it iQ, but never misspelled it as QQ ok, hehe. Another piece of innovation for tomorrow by Toyota.
By the way, when in the next KL Interantional Motor Show? We are missing a lot of new models, such as this!!
Nice, would love to see something new give the fugly ForTwo a run for it’s money!
Hi nmh, probably the wealthy will buy this car in pink color for their 15yr old blonde haired daughters eh? haha
below 20k??? if you’re referring to msian ringgit…..i think we have yet to see anything below that mark in recent years……for something new that is….
but this looks like a nice 2nd car…..this still has some aygo-ish dna in it……
is toyota planning to fight wif g-wiz too since now dey are planning to compete with smart ?
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?
nice…look like myvi a bit…this will compete with smart…but still… for me if i choose between smart and this iq i will go for smart
