A New Dimension of Scion, unveiled at the New York International Auto Show, was introduced with two new production vehicles, the all-new 2011 iQ premium micro-subcompact and the second-generation 2011 tC sports coupe. The 2011 iQ is equipped with a 1.3-liter, four-cylinder engine that produces over 90 horsepower and features the latest dual VVT-i. The iQ’s engine is combined with a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) that helps control the acceleration and fuel efficiency. Therefore, the iQ will be rated as an Ultra Low Emission Vehicle (ULEV-II).
The iQ’s profile, 120.1-inches long and 66.1-inches wide with short front and rear, is defined by a strong and high beltline, glides from the large, stout headlamps, up the A-pillar, across the roof, and wraps around the rear. The iQ’s functional “3+1” seating is might be the world’s smallest four-passenger vehicle. In addition, the iQ is equipped with a flat gas tank housed beneath the floor that reduces rear overhang.
For safety, the iQ Active safety features include Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), an anti-lock brake system (ABS) with Electronic Brake force Distribution (EBD), Brake Assist (BA) and Traction Control (TRAC). The iQ will come standard with 10 SRS airbags, including the world’s first rear-window curtain airbag.
The iQ comes standard with a six-speaker audio, USB and auxiliary ports, CD, AM/FM, auxiliary input, or a library from your iPod® or other USB device. The tC is scheduled to arrive in dealerships later this fall, while the iQ will go on sale in early 2011.
