Frankfurt highlights: Toyota unveils iQ shorter-than-Aygo city car concept
12th September 2007
The Toyota iQ concept, unveiled this week at the Frankfurt Motor Show is said to mark a step change in small car design. It was created at ED2, Toyota’s European design studio in the South of France. Two centimetres shy of 3m in length, the iQ concept can accommodate three adults, plus luggage space or seating for a fourth, child passenger, making it the world’s smallest four-seat passenger concept car. At 2,980mm long, it is 425mm shorter than Toyota’s Aygo, but comparable to the Yaris in width and height (1,680 x 1,480mm). In regular use, driver and passenger sit side by side, but sliding the passenger seat further forward makes room for an extra adult and child in the rear.
