The 2012 Scion iQ may be small in size, but it sure knows how to make an entrance.
The Scion iQ is equipped with a 94-horsepower, 1.3-liter engine with continuously variable transmission to amplify fuel efficiency and provide smooth drives. Standard features that contribute to its amazing rides include front independent MacPherson strut suspension and front ventilated disc brakes. In addition, electronic brake distribution, vehicle stability control, traction control, brake assist, and smart stop technology all team up to support drivers when they get behind the wheel.
To help passengers enjoy their experiences in the iQ, an acoustic windshield is provided to lower noise, vibration, and harshness. The interior features woven fabric-trimmed seats with four-way adjustability for drivers and front passengers. The rear seats fold down easily any time you need more space to transport your goods. Radiant orange instrument panel illumination completes the interior and emphasizes the Scion iQ's vivacious attitude.
The Scion iQ has a spectacular 160-watt Pioneer audio system to get the party started. Passengers can enjoy AM/FM radio, HD radio, and CDs on their trips. Bluetooth technology also enables audio streaming and hands-free communication. Additional standard features that provide convenience include keyless entry with electronic rear hatch locking system, air conditioning, and power windows.
