Car of the Future - Toyota IQ

You still believe that a modern, safe, maneuver, rather powerful and inexpensive car is still a myth? You are not right. Frankfurt Auto Show 2007 has changed everything and Toyota presented a car, whose motto is: “Think small!” The new Toyota IQ will hit the markets of such countries as: Russia, Brazil and China. Actually, I came across this car, while looking at the results of the Frankfurt Show and I liked the review of John Neff, so I had a closer look at this car.

Toyota IQ is a tiny car, that’s why it will be ideal for crowded big city roads, it will give additional advantages to its owner, thus, he or she will be able to park it everywhere (it is almost impossible not to find a place for such a small car), moreover this car is easy to drive, have 4 seats (3+1 seater “iQ concept” ) as any other car, will consume less fuel and won’t pollute the environment. I think, such cars (also, Volkswagen Up!) will flood big cities within the next decade.

So, new Toyota is only 2.98 mm long, if you are an owner of Toyota Yaris and you will happen to open the door of IQ concept Toyota car, you will see no difference! They are like too drops of water! It was created at the Toyota’s European design studio (in France). It is designed in accordance with the new Toyota philosophy “vibrant clarity”: it has everything a modern city dweller can need: bright appearance, maneuverability, functions, enough space and even more – it is a green car, ecologically friendly.

Toyota IQ

Nowadays, Toyota IQ can be named the smallest 4-seat passenger car (there are seats for 3 adults and one child). In a normal condition, a driver and a passenger are sitting side by side, but if to move their seats further forward, there will appear an extra space for 1 more adult and a child. It has a panoramic glass sunroof, as for me, I think it looks wonderful during a day time, but at nights it might look a little gloomy (I mean interior of the car). You know, I would like to drive in such a car especially when it rains, just imagine, you are in the center of rain and absolutely dry.

But, it was my own dreams, let’s better specify when this tiny car hit global markets. According to the official data, in 2009.

The Advantages of Automatic Transmissions

It's so true. The CVT (continuously variable transmission) operates smoothly with no jerking and having more speeds these days (6 as opposed to 3-5) means better gas mileage, too.
