According to some news from my colleagues in Autopartswarehouse, these small vehicles, which were unveiled to the public yesterday, are seen as the answers for the growing problems that concern the user and the environment. Japanese automaker Toyota Motor Company introduced the Toyota iQ that is the so-called smallest passenger car that can accommodate at a maximum of three adults passengers and a child. According to the company, the Toyota iQ car promises better engine output minus the noxious Carbon dioxide emissions. About only 99 grams per kilometer of CO2 output is expected from this vehicle, thus help minimize pollution. In addition to that, its size is seen as very appropriate for small families and for congested streets of the city. With these benefits, small cars can be perceived as something efficient and cool.

According to Thomas Scneider, who is the marketing director of Fiat in Switzerland, that there is indeed a market for small green cars as more motorists noticed the scarcity of parking spaces. At the same time, car owners tend to become conscious in the large chunk of pollution coming from vehicles.

Smaller cars, however, are said to bring in lesser sales compared to the bigger or regular sized vehicles, according to Peter Schaer, who is the Peugeot Switzerland’s public relations director. For that reason, automakers tend to produce high-end or luxury small cars for more decent sales. Toyota, for example, priced the iQ concept at 11,000 euros and targeted a sale of 100,000 units by next year.

Despite that thinking that small cars are pricey, Indian automaker Tata Motors was able to come up with the Nano model, which is the world’s cheapest car at $2, 500 (or 1, 600 euros). Hopefully, Autopartswarehouse will be stacking new parts to make up for the newest cars in town.

According to Andrea Formica, who is the senior vice-president of Toyota for Europe, the Toyota iQ is the smallest passenger car that can accommodate a total of four passengers. Despite its size, this compact green car can set three adults and a child. Toyota is positive that such small car will entice motorists living in congested cities.

In addition to its small features, the Toyota iQ is big on the green technology aspect as this concept car is said to achieve only 99 grams per kilometer of noxious Carbon dioxide emissions. With such capability, the iQ concept is seen as Toyota’s answer to slash a big chunk in the Japanese company’s average CO2 emissions.

Aside from the iQ concept car, Toyota also displayed its 1/X model. This “plug-in” vehicle can run for 100 kilometers (or 62 miles) with just a two-liter filled engine, according to the company.

Meanwhile, Toyota remains positive that the company can get up to a five percent increase in its sales in the US market this year despite the visible industry condition of America. Toyota went down to a good 6.6-percent last month. The Japanese company is currently back to rank three overall in the US market, after conceding in sales against Ford Motor Company.
