2012 Scion iQ Base Hatchback 2-Door 1.3L

Detailed item info Model OverviewThe Scion iQ is tiny. with a wheelbase of just 78. 7 inches. However. it's amazing what Toyota engineers have been able to pack into the allotted space. Up front is a 94-hp 1. 3L inline-4-cylinder with variable valve timing. The unit is mated to a continuously variable transmission that can propel the iQ to 60 mph in just under 12 seconds. More importantly. the iQ returns 36 mpg in the city and 37 mpg on the highway. The iQ rides on 16-inch steel wheels. which are suspended by MacPherson struts up front and a torsion beam in the rear. Braking is courtesy of ventilated front discs and rear drums. Seating for four is technically possible. but the rear 50/50 split-folding seats are often better suited to carrying a small payload. Cargo capacity is 16. 7 cubic feet of space with the seats down. Front seating. on the other hand. is quite ample. with nearly 41 inches of leg room. Standard exterior features include keyless entry. a rear wiper and folding side mirrors with turn signal indicators. Inside there are standard amenities such as air conditioning. 4-way front seats. outside temperature gauge and power locks. mirrors. and windows. with driver and passenger one-touch auto up/down. Also included is a leather-wrapped tilt steering wheel with audio controls. a 160-watt Pioneer CD stereo. auxiliary audio and USB inputs and Bluetooth hands-free connectivity. Optional equipment for the iQ includes exterior body moldings and rear spoiler. fog lights. special door sill overlays and illumination. interior lighting. Toyota Racing Development sport suspension components and alloy wheels. As in all Scions. safety has been engineered into the iQ.
