The Scion iQ is one of the smallest cars on the market and it has its sights set on the Mercedes-Benz smart. Despite its reduced size, the silhouette is very nice.

A 1.3L four-cylinder engine is paired with a continuously variable transmission that activates the front wheels. It goes without saying that this car is meant for the urban environment.
