The iQ is a sophisticated car, representing the ultimate refined urban mode of transportation aimed at reducing CO2 emissions. Six revolutionary design and engineering innovations, such as ultra-efficient packaging and an asymmetric instrument panel, realized by a compact air-conditioning unit, achieved an interior space for four seats in a total length of less than three meters. This ultra-compact vehicle is both compact yet spacious, and small yet premium. The exterior design is a realization of Toyota’s design philosophy "Vibrant Clarity", a synergy of rational factors together with an expression of individuality and quality.
