Toyota to present the new iQ with a 1.33 liter engine in Geneva
Toyota will join the automotive circus at the Geneva Motor Show which is just days away with the new Toyota iQ featuring a 1.33 liter power plant. The latest version of the popular city car, with its new 1NR-FE Dual VVT-i engine is able to deliver an adequate 99HP which has more pulling power compared to the 1.0 liter engine in the outgoing model which is good for only 67HP and 91Nm of torque.
The new engine is mated to a 6 speed manual transmission while potential buyers can also opt for the Multidrive CVT transmission. With the manual, the iQ delivers 58.9 miles to the gallon (with 113 grams of emissions per kilometer) while if equipped with the latter, fuel consumption is slightly increased to 55.4 miles to the gallon (with 120 grams of emissions per kilometer).
The 1.33 Toyota iQ will hit European showrooms by July this year. It also features Toyota’s Optimal Drive technology as well as an engine Stop & Start system to help keep fuel consumption to the minimum. For the sake of comparing, the 1.0 liter engine coupled with the 5 speed manual transmission can deliver an impressive 65.7 miles to the gallon.
Apart from offering excellent fuel consumption figures, the Toyota iQ also scores well in the safety department. It recently received a 5-star Euro NCAP rating. Continue reading to watch the crash test video.

Just look at it’s safety rating, sometime small car safety can even more better then bigger car.. I think UMW can bring this car to Malaysia to sell, sure sell like hot cake if price lower than Vios! I would like to get on hand with the 1.33L + 6-speed manual.. Damn..

65.7 miles only ?!?! That don’t seems to be very efficient….
The Ford Fiesta ECOnetic TDCi engine produces 66 kW of power and 200 Nm of torque. Manages a FUEL CONSUMPTION of 3.7 L/100km CO2 output of just 98 g/km.
That is what i call ‘ a fuel that saves money ‘
