Like the iQ concept presented at the 2007 Frankfurt Motor Show, the production iQ will feature a unique 3+1 seating configuration.
Up to three adults plus a child can be comfortably seated in a compact urban vehicle at sub three metres in length.
The released image shows an exterior design that, while having more conventional lines, maintains the philosophy expressed with the iQ concept.
The spaciousness of iQ is a result of its ingenious packaging, which was created by six space-saving but inter-linked engineering innovations that represent a revolution in Toyota’s automotive vehicle development.
Infused with Japanese design elements, iQ is defined as "a radical change in vehicle design as well as environmentally friendly transportation."
At the upcoming Geneva Motor Show Toyota will also present the Urban Cruiser, a new extension of its sports utility vehicle line-up into the small car segment.
