Toyota iQ3: A glimpse at America's coming iQ? - Toyota Yaris Forums

Thirty-Nine · 06-22-2009, 04:45 PM

The UK-spec Toyota iQ3 has a 1.3-liter engine cranking out 98 HP, and still gets 50+ MPG. Could this the be iQ destined for America?

Someday it will be mine...oh yes...it will.

Yeah; they're pretty sweet. Hopefully, assuming the iQ will be a Scion, it will help the brand out of its slump.

i Q looks good

Sadly, the iQ will probably come with the same 1.5l engine that the Yaris has, to satisfy the US craving for HP. Unless the iQ is priced as a premium small car as it is in Europe--which it wont be as in America small=cheap--Toyota wont pay to have the new 1.33 engine certified for the US.

But I may be wrong, and I hope I am, because I really want that car!

It appears the 1NZ-FE (1.5 liter) is being phased out. I'll bet it'll come with the dual VVT-i 1.3 (1NR-FE).

I hope you're wrong too and from what I've heard it will be the new 1.33 here in North America as well.
