'Revolutionary' Toyota IQ now in Malta

Toyota are to demonstrate the new Toyota IQ tomorrow with an open day at their Michael Debono Ltd showroom in Zebbug between 9 am and 2 pm.

Hailed as revolutionary, the Toyota IQ is a sophisticated car which, thanks to ingenious packaging has enough interior space for three adults, plus a child or luggage despite measuring less than three metres in length.

The “I“ in IQ stands for individuality, whilst at the same time also expressing “innovation” and “intelligence”. “Q” stands for “quality” and also suggesting that its “cubic” stature gives a “cue” to new value and lifestyle, Toyota said.

The Japanese carmaker insists that despite its small size, the IQ is an extremely robust vehicle. The four wheels - placed at the extremities of each corner – give the IQ a self-assured ‘super stance’.

The car comes with ABS, EBD and Vehicle Stability Control with Traction Control that enables 360° control in difficult situations. It also has nine airbags including the world’s first rear window curtain shield airbag.

Michael Debono Ltd will also extend showroom opening hours till 9 p.m. next week and are offering test drives.
