Here's about Toyota MPV
SMART drivers definitely won’t need a high IQ to get the point of Toyota’s tiniest tot, the smallest of the company’s four newest models.
The IQ is similar to the Smart in so many ways and yet so much smarter where it matters; four(ish) seats to the Smart’s two, a better Euro NCAP safety rating and blessed with the cheeky Pokémon styling.
Admittedly it’s not going to give you hot-hatch style thrills along the country lanes of North Wales, but it’s still fun to drive, mainly because it’s so easy to hustle through town centre’s and because of how its engine sounds.
Toyota say it has a 1.0 litre petrol engine but – sounding like an F1 car when you push it and eerily quiet when you don’t – this particular powerplant is one which will delight most drivers.
Anyone who expects MPV levels of space is going to be disappointed, the boot is practically non-existent, and it’s not cheap in the way the Aygo, Toyota’s other baby offering, is.
But what it does do is answer age-old questions about how to fit four people into a very small amount of space very intelligently, and its styling is cool in a uniquely Japanese sort of way.
It’s not perfect but you can’t help loving it.
