The Scion iQ is a city car, a two-seat subcompact hatchback that is intended to be used as a short-distance commuter across an urban landscape. The Scion iQ is easy to park, but the trade-off is a small passenger compartment. Under the hood, the iQ features a 1.3-liter, four-cylinder engine that develops 94 horsepower and 89 lb-ft of torque - low numbers that are a match for its lightweight design. A continuously-variable automatic transmission handles the Scion's shifting duties.
