Generations

Toyota unveiled the iQ in 2008, showing that a tiny 2-door city car can hold more than two people. Dubbed the 3+1 configuration, the car measures less than three metres and features an incredibly short front end. The headlights have new-age styling with sharp corners and curved lines for a modern look. The vertical tailgate at the back completes the iQ design. Despite its best efforts, the iQ never became as popular as Toyota intended and it was discontinued in 2015.
