2012 Scion iQ - The World's Smallest Four Seater

Scion announced that the 2012 iQ should be at dealerships in October.  The Scion iQ is only 10 feet long yet seats four people, making it the world's smallest smallest four-seater.

"Scion prides itself on being an innovative brand with a lineup of iconic vehicles that set automotive trends," said Jack Hollis, vice president of Scion.  "The iQ is the fourth vehicle in the family, and it will define the premium micro-subcompact segment as the choice for new urbanites who want clever transportation without a sacrifice in style or new features."

Meeting the needs of a new trendsetting generation of urban drives, the iQ succeeds at taking big ideas and concentrating them into a small package.  Made possible by intelligent and functional packaging, the iQ is a small car that offers the funcionality and comfort that drivers expect from a car twice its size.

Driving Performance of a Larger Car

With a 78.7 inch wheelbase and a unique suspension design - consisting of MacPherson struts up front, and a compact torsion beam rear suspension - the three-door hatchback can deftly maneuver through city traffic.  In addition, its overall length of only 120.1 inches and short front and rear overhangs allows the iQ to fit into virtually any urban parking scenario.  Although short in length, the iQ has a wide stance at 66.1 inches, giving it a confident stance thant handles like a much larger car.

Pricing

The 2012 Scion iQ will have a starting MSRP of $15,265.
