The overview
The Scion iQ, a tiny four-seat hatchback, is one of the lowest-scoring cars we've tested in recent years. Slow, noisy, and uncomfortable, the iQ's few positives include exceptionally easy parking, and its very good 34-mpg overall fuel economy. The extremely tiny rear seats won't make anyone riding in the second row happy, and the numb and overly quick steering makes the iQ less-than-enjoyable to drive. Unless you spend all of your time driving in a crowded city, this Scion model makes little sense. Many nicer cars cost about the same, get comparable fuel economy, and don't beat you up. The last year for the iQ was 2015.

Behind the data
Latest source update: September 11, 2026
Vehicle summaries, specifications, pricing and ratings come from Consumer Reports vehicle records. Auto Guide groups these records by model and reported generation start year.
Available years are listed explicitly. Gaps do not imply that a model was discontinued. Prices are source estimates, not live offers. No first-hand road test by Auto Guide is claimed.
