The 2012 Scion iQ is a compact hatchback with a bold attitude.
Powered by a 1.3-liter dual VVT-i engine with 94 horsepower, the Scion iQ is great for those who like to relax as they drive. Continuously variable transmission is equipped to provide smooth performance and enhance fuel efficiency. Front independent MacPherson strut suspension and front ventilated disc brakes also come standard to ensure great rides for all passengers onboard. Vehicle stability control, traction control, electronic brake distribution, and smart stop technology join forces to assist drivers in maintaining balance on the road.
To help passengers enjoy their experiences in the iQ, an acoustic windshield is provided to lower noise, vibration, and harshness. Inside you will find woven fabric seats to get comfortable in. Drivers and front passengers have four-way adjustability while rear passengers have a split-folding seat. Radiant orange instrument panel illumination completes the interior and emphasizes the Scion iQ's vivacious attitude.
Every ride in the iQ is an exhilarating one with the assistance of the incredible Pioneer audio system. This 160-watt system has an AM/FM/CD unit, HD radio technology, and Bluetooth for streaming audio and hands-free phone calls. Additional standard features that provide convenience include keyless entry with electronic rear hatch locking system, air conditioning, and power windows.
