If you are wanting a compact car with exceptional city manoeuvrability, then the Toyota IQ could be the right car for you! With a unique design and surprisingly spacious interior, this car is perfect for those wanting a reliable and compact car. In this blog we will be discussing all of the benefits to the Toyota IQ, from its fuel efficiency, design and safety features.
Fuel Efficiency:
When it comes to having a good fuel efficiency, the Toyota IQ exceeds that limit. With official statements recording numbers of 65.69 mpg, many owners have reported achieving figures that exceed the official statement, especially within city driving conditions. There are many different contributors to this however, with Toyota’s stop start engine.
This system completely shuts off the engine automatically when the car comes to a stop, such as at traffic lights. As well as this, due to the car’s small, lightweight engine and highly aerodynamic design, there is no surprise that it is so energy efficient.
Design:
When it comes to design, the Toyota IQ is known for being incredibly futuristic yet still distinctive. With a compact yet boxy exterior shape, the IQ offers great manoeuvrability, especially within city driving conditions. The dashboard features an asymmetrical design, with the passenger side pushed forward slightly to create more space for the passengers on the back seats.
The unique design comes mainly from the front-end of the car. Toyota is characterised by its large, expressive headlights and wide grille, further adding to the joy and friendly nature of this car. Available in a range of different bold and vibrant colours, the IQ’s design is a range of functionality and style, making this car both a visually appealing and a practical choice.
Safety:
The Toyota IQ was designed with the highest degree of safety in mind, receiving very high marks in independent safety checks. Featuring 9 separate different airbags on a standard model, the IQ was the first car ever to implement a rear window curtain shield airbag, setting the standard for many vehicles since.
As well as this, the IQ also has a range of other safety features such as the Electronic Stability Control (ESC), a system that helps to prevent the loss of control in hazardous conditions. Anti-lock Braking Systems (ABS) are also featured within the Toyota IQ, which prevents the wheels from locking up during emergency braking, allowing the driver to maintain steering control.
Overall this compact car is perfect for those wanting a vehicle for urban commutes. With a unique design and equipped with a wide range of safety and convenient technology for drivers, the IQ is a highly desirable city car.
