Geneva 2008 Preview: Production Toyota iQ Revealed


Two Toyota cars will be making their world debuts at the upcoming Geneva Motor Show. One of these two cars is the Toyota iQ. Toyota will be showing the production-spec version of the iQ microcar, which was debuted as a concept last year in Frankfurt will be available in European market soon.

The microcar measures just under 3 meters in length, and it should be as wide and tall as a Yaris, if the iQ concept is an indication. For comparison, the Smart Fortwo is 2.5 m long. Unlike the Smart, the iQ has seating for three adults plus a child or additional cargo. It's reported that the iQ would get a 1.0L engine with stop/start functionality. The iQ will go into production at the end of this year.
