The iQ cubed adds a 98 bhp 1.33-liter engine with Toyota Optimal Drive to the diminutive Smart competitor and the start-stop system helps the iQsup3/sup get COsub2/sub emissions down to 113g/km. On the UK's combined cycle, the most efficient iQsup3/sup, the manual with a six-speed gearbox, gets 49 mpg (U.S.). Even with a Multidrive CVT transmission, the iQsup3/sup can achieve 46 mpg (U.S.) and COsub2/sub emissions of just 120 g/km. Both models qualify for the UK's Band B road tax, which is just pound;35 a year. The manual starts at pound;11,495 while the Multidrive begins at pound;12,495. If you have more money to spend, four trims are offered that add everything from chrome trim to Bluetooth connectivity. Make the jump for all the details.br /br /br /div class="postgallery"pstrongGallery: a href="http://www.autobloggreen.com/photos/toyota-iq-sup-3-sup/"Toyota iQsup3/sup/a/strong/pa href="http://www.autobloggreen.com/photos/toyota-iq-sup-3-sup/2092130/"img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autobloggreen.com/media/2009/06/57978toy-_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" //aa href="http://www.autobloggreen.com/photos/toyota-iq-sup-3-sup/2092129/"img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autobloggreen.com/media/2009/06/57978-f-toy-_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" //aa href="http://www.autobloggreen.com/photos/toyota-iq-sup-3-sup/2092128/"img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autobloggreen.com/media/2009/06/57978-g-toy-_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" //aa href="http://www.autobloggreen.com/photos/toyota-iq-sup-3-sup/2092127/"img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autobloggreen.com/media/2009/06/57978-e-toy-_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" //aa href="http://www.autobloggreen.com/photos/toyota-iq-sup-3-sup/2092126/"img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autobloggreen.com/media/2009/06/57978-d-toy-_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" //a/divpa href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/06/18/toyota-ups-the-small-car-score-with-the-iq-sup-3-sup-iq-cubed/" rel="bookmark"Continue reading emToyota ups the small car score with the iQsup3/sup (iQ cubed)/em/a/pp style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/06/18/toyota-ups-the-small-car-score-with-the-iq-sup-3-sup-iq-cubed/"Toyota ups the small car score with the iQsup3/sup (iQ cubed)/a originally appeared on a href="http://www.autoblog.com"Autoblog/a on Thu, 18 Jun 2009 16:02:00 EST.
