Toyota has announced prices and spec for the new 3+1 iQ city car, which will start from £9495 and is available to order now.
Initially the iQ is only available with the three-cylinder 1.0-litre petrol engine, which puts out just 99g/km of CO2, enough to win the iQ free road tax, and achieve a claimed 65.7mpg.
The iQ is also offered with a ‘Multidrive’ constantly variable transmission for an extra £1000, although this pushes CO2 emissions up to 110g/km.
Only two trim levels will be offered to British buyers: base and ‘iQ2’. Standard spec includes 15-inch allows, air conditioning, a six-speaker sound system, privacy glass and a leather steering wheel.
The iQ2 costs £10,495 with a manual gearbox and adds fog lights, automatic headlights and wipers, climate control, keyless entry and a push-button start.
All iQs will come with nine airbags, traction and stability control as standard.

Re: Toyota iQ prices announced
Interesting car, but these prices are way too high. I know they are trying to make this an up-market model but in the current economic climate people will expect a small car to have a small price. As a matter of curiousity, does anyone know how the UK prices compare to the Japanese ones ?

Takes some doing to make a Smart look like good value, when there are things like a Vauxhall Agilia for £6495.
Re: Toyota iQ prices announced
What a rip of for an ugly attempt at a Smart rip off. The Smart For 2 Pure retails at £7060 on the road with the high spec luxury Passion version at £9165 on the road. Smart cars have a hip and loyal following, whereas Toyota with their bland and ugly approach to styling do not. It will never sell at that price and christ it's ugly.
Aren't Toyota's for old folks anyway??
