The Toyota iQ is a small utility, four-seater and 3.0 m, which is on sale since April 2009. This series has stability control, something rare in a small car, and an unprecedented window airbag. It is available from € 11,340, only with petrol engines (68 and 98 hp) and with manual or automatic. It can be an alternative to models like the Kia Picanto , the Citroën C1 , the Peugeot 107 , the Hyundai i10 or the Suzuki Alto , among others. The iQ is smaller and more expensive than all of them, although it is considerably more equipped (passenger list between 2.80 and 3.55 m sorted by price) and gives a greater sense of quality. The only similar model is more expensive is the Fiat 500. Either one is preferable to carry passengers in the rear seats. The recommended version is 1.0 which is 68 hp motor. The difference in acceleration that gives respect to the 98 hp is much lower than expected from its can be no power difference. The only drawback is the 68 hp IQ is vibrating at idle (is three cylinders). The 98hp engine has a smoother operation. With the 98 hp engine IQ is very pleasant to drive because of its smoothness and quietness of operation. However, as in other models we’ve driven with this engine, it gives a good result on the road: its ability to accelerate is far from what you would expect from its power. To notice differences with the 68 hp, you have to take him to a high regime. More driving impressions.
