Measuring in less than 3m in length, the Toyota iQ is the smallest four-seater production car in the world. Thanks to the unique 3+1 seating system, the iQ will accommodate three adults and once child in relative comfort. Toyota’s new premium micro car will hit most European dealerships towards the end of the year, although some markets including the UK will get the iQ in January 2009.
According to the Toyota people we talked to, the iQ will be offered in Europe with two gasoline engines, a three-cylinder 1.0-liter and a 4-cylinder 1.3-liter unit as well as with a 4-cylinder 1.4-liter turbo diesel. Expect the iQ to carry a hefty premium over Toyota’s entry-level city car in Europe, the Aygo. Check out our high-res image gallery of the European spec iQ right after the jump.-Continued
