Super compact Toyota IQ
Toyota IQ has been presented on public court for the first time on a motor show in Geneva in 2008, and since autumn of the last year super compact Toyota IQ with bright character has appeared in Russia. The name IQ is formed by the first letters of words “individuality quality” that in transfer means individual quality. And it is valid, almost individual Toyota IQ amazes with quality in everything to any trifle.
Ex-terrier of Toyota IQ only is simple at first sight. Look narrowly, the intrigue is covered here! Length of the car is only 298.5 centimeters! Stability of landing is technologically reached by the maximum approach of wheels to body corners. The effect is strengthened by massive bumpers. The car great bulk is concentrated within the limits of wheel base. At the truncated base in 200 centimeters, over-hangings practically are absent. This makes Toyota IQ to differ with its excellent controllability.
The external design finds out a number of points to discuss. Some modules seem to be borrowed at cars of other lineup of Toyota. It is because of back lanterns and three strips between them. Wheel disks in 16 inches can seem rather big for such a small car, but tastes differ. In general the design is bright and original, and 10 variants of coloring will allow each owner Toyota IQ feel special.
But the greatest intrigue is covered inside. Let’s begin with the fact that three adults and the child quite comfortably feel in salon. It is 71 centimeter between the centre of driver’s and forward passenger sitting – this is an indicator of the S-class cars. Why not four adults? All is very simple. There is no glove compartment in front of it – it gives an opportunity to move the passenger’s seat forward much further, than a seat of the driver. So only a child can be located behind a driver’s seat. At a total load the volume of luggage carrier of Toyota IQ is not great – only 32 liters. There is a niche under back seat. But if there is only a driver and his companion in a car, backs of back seats fall. Thus the luggage carrier in volume turns in 238 liters.
The forward panel of Toyota IQ is not symmetry, but is very functional and allows the driver feel not worse than in a big car. The LCD-display in this car is not luxury, it also saves some place, having replaced with itself many information displays. Toyota IQ for the European consumers is equipped by the engine in volume of 1 liter which capacity of 68 horse powers. By the way engine VVT-i has been awarded ranks «the Engine of year – 2008» in a nomination of engines with volume not more than 1 liter. Delivered to Russia Toyota IQ have more powerful engine Dual VVT-i – 1,3 liters (98 h. p.).
It not simply four-cylinder motor. It is equipped by unique system Stop and Start which is responsible for economy of gasoline in conditions of big cities when movement often interrupts standing in traffic jams. Thanks to this system in city streets the expense of gasoline will not exceed 5.1 liters on 100 kilometers. The size of a fuel tank in 32 liters is not too small at such economical expense of fuel. It is possible to pass more semi-thousand kilometers without re-fuelling. By the way a tank – this is one more innovative decision in Toyota IQ. It is flat. It is made for the sake of the general idea of economy of a useful area.
Crash-tests have brought Toyota IQ the higher marks on safety level. Not only the driver and passengers are protected by safety pillows, but also the foot-passengers at a crash have the maximum chances of a survival.
It seems that Toyota IQ is the ideal city car due to its technical characteristics (small and economic compact), and due to its comfort and safety. Parking in a city in a rush hour everybody would like to have a car less than 3 meters. And the original design of Toyota IQ will allow each owner realize the dream of individual style on roads.
