It will be the first electric car that Toyota marketed in Europe and decided to start at the bottom. The
Toyota iQ
EV is chosen to make a new date in the history of Toyota. The utility has been thoroughly revised to accommodate its new electric motor, which is the result of a development that has lasted over forty years and has gone in parallel with the development of other alternative powertrains.
Toyota EV is really compact, measuring
3120 mm,
135 mm longer than the standard iQ, although it is the same width and
height (1,680 mm and 1,505 mm), also sharing the same battle of two
meters. Its turning radius is just 4.1 meters. The body is based on the Toyota FT-EV
III Concept presented at the Tokyo Motor Show in 2011.
The interior of the Toyota iQ EV is like outside decorated in two tones, black and white. The instrument panel is proper for this version, seats and leather-textile mixed.
The instrument panel has two areas with Optitron gauges (an illuminated
Toyota instruments), with a visual design based on electronics.
In an electric car detail are paramount in normal cars are not observed. To that autonomy is being eroded uses
technical solutions and aerodynamic drag to avoid unnecessary ballast. The iQ EV various solutions have been adopted in the pursuit of
maximum efficiency in minimum space left by a utility of its size.
The
electric motor of Toyota iQ EV is an
engine-air cooled
generator capable of generating and / or delivering up to 47 kW
(64 hp).
This engine is coupled to a reducer for rotational speed epicyclic
trains and this to the front wheels through the differential. Engine, gearbox and differential are all encapsulated in a compact electric set. Obviously the iQ EV has
regenerative braking.
