Toyota showed off its super compact, C-segment iQ to the world in Geneva today. The car was first shown in concept form at Frankfurt last year, and will be produced in late 2008.
Toyota is touting the iQ as the ultimate refined mode of transportation and at less than 118 inches in length, it’s certainly small enough to be a devoted city runabout.
The iQ is called a 3+1, meaning it is capable of carrying up to three adults along with a child or luggage in comfort.
It’s hard to be sure, what with the dollar’s continuing fall against the Japanese yen, but the “quality minicar” billing implies the iQ will cost more than a subcompact Yaris and less than a compact Corolla. We’d guesstimate a $13,000 floor, with a ceiling of maybe $17,500, depending on the number and type of options available.
