Full Review

The 2014 Scion iQ is a four-door subcompact car that continues on market with the addition of a new audio display and a limited-edition Scion iQ series trim level. The subcompact hatchback is a standout in its division, coming second to only the Smart Fortwo in size, but exceeding it in all other aspects, such as interior space and passenger seating. This car was built for city driving and parking in tight spaces. The car’s powertrain gives the feeling of driving a real car when cruising around the city, but don’t take it too far away on highways as the wind gusts will toss you around, making you feel a bit vulnerable. Cargo space in this vehicle is lacking, but if that’s something you’re willing to sacrifice for convenience than the Scion iQ is the car for you.

The Scion iQ adds a modern twist on the typical microcar, which sets it apart from more retro-looking cars in its class. The shape of the car is angular with a short nose to just cover the engine and a hatchback barely extending over the rear wheels. These details highlight the size of the two large side doors, which offer easy access in and out of the front seats. The windows are also large, taking up about three quarters of the length of the car. The four-passenger vehicle is available in two trim levels — a base model and the limited-edition Scion 10 Series. Standard features include 16-inch steel wheels and a choice of two different plastic wheel covers. The Scion 10 Series trim offers 16-inch alloy wheels and illuminated badges. Dealer-installed upgrade options include a rear spoiler, alloy wheels and foglamps.

The cabin of the iQ comes with ample spacing, considering its subcompact size. There is room for two passengers to comfortably sit in the front cabin, and the passenger-side seat is adjustable to accommodate an adult behind it. Technically a fourth passenger can fit behind the driver, but leave this space for the smallest of the bunch.  The cargo area isn’t large when the iQ is at full capacity, but the rear seats do have a 50/50 split, which increases storage ability. The materials used are mostly hard plastic, and the dash has low-tech controls such as the three-knob climate system, but a relatively good audio system. Standard interior options on this vehicle include full-power accessories, keyless entry, air-conditioning and a leather-wrapped tilt steering wheel. Tech features include Bluetooth phone and audio connectivity as well as a six-speaker Pioneer sound system with a 6-inch touchscreen display, HD radio, an auxiliary audio jack and an iPod/USB audio interface. The iQ 10 Series adds illuminated panels on the centre console and solar-powered illuminated shift knob and floor mats. Dealer-installed options include various cargo items, interior ambient lighting, satellite radio and BeSpoke audio interface system with navigation and smartphone app integration.

The primary selling feature of the Scion iQ is its compact size and ability to whip around — or stop in — the city with little to no issues. This car offers ample passenger seating as far a subcompact vehicles go although suffers a bit in the cargo area. The look of the car is different than those in its class and it truly is standout amongst all of them. The engine in the car gives it a leg up on the competition, while it’s not fast; it is definitely quicker than the Smart and is better suited for accelerating in urban traffic. Unfortunately, the storage accommodations are lacking since the iQ only comes with about three liters of space on either door, two rear cup holders and one cup holder in the centre consol. The technology on this car is pretty good with a standard 6.1-inch touchscreen display screen for the entertainment system. Upgrades also elevate the tech level by adding navigation and phone capabilities. Standard safety features on the iQ include stability and traction control, antilock brakes (front and disc rear drums), front side airbags, front-seat cushion airbags and a rear window airbag that deploys around the rear-seat headrests.

Powering the front-wheel-drive iQ is a 1.3-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 94 horsepower and 89 pound-feet of torque. The iQ gets a combined 6.36 liters per 100 kilometers and goes from 0 to 97 km/h in 11.6 seconds, which is a little slow for the average subcompact with an automatic transmission.

Overall, the Scion iQ is definitely a standout amongst subcompact vehicles. It outperforms most other competition in almost all aspects and is a great choice for a city slicker looking to zip around conveniently.

Power and Performance:

The front-wheel-drive 2014 Scion iQ comes with a 1.3-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 94 horsepower and 89 pound-feet of torque. A CVT is standard.

In Edmunds testing, the iQ accelerated from zero to 60 in 11.6 seconds, which is a second slower than the average subcompact car with an automatic transmission. EPA-estimated fuel economy is 36 mpg city/37 mpg highway and 37 mpg combined. While the highway number isn't the flashy 40 mpg you'll see from some larger vehicles, the combined number is excellent.

Interiors and Special Features:

As you would expect, the Scion iQ is at its best with just two occupants. Nevertheless, the car has been engineered to maximize interior space. Clever packaging under the hood allowed Scion's engineers to move the passenger side of the dash farther forward. This, in turn, allows the front passenger seat to be placed sufficiently forward to fit a full-size passenger in the rear seat behind. Meanwhile, the remainder of the rear seat behind the driver can accommodate a child if need be. Either rear seat is best used only in a pinch, but having them certainly is better than nothing.

Safety features:

The 2014 Scion iQ comes standard with stability and traction control, antilock brakes (front disc and rear drums), front side airbags, front side curtain airbags, front knee airbags and three more airbags not commonly found in other cars -- front seat-cushion airbags and a rear window airbag that deploys around the rear-seat headrests.

In Edmunds brake testing, the iQ stopped from 60 mph in 131 feet, which is about 10 feet longer than average for a subcompact car.
