The automobile will be hitting Toyota showrooms before the year is over and car shoppers will love all the Scion iQ has to offer, including its price. The automatic Scion iQ will start with a sticker price of $15,995 MSRP with an estimated MPG of 36 city and 37 highway.

Toyota Scion announced that their brand new 2012 Scion iQ will have an EPA-estimated 37 miles per gallon combined fuel economy and the Goodyear’s Assurance Fuel Max tires will only improve the Scion’s performance. A press release shared that, “The Assurance Fuel Max features a fuel-saving tread compound that helps reduce energy loss as the tire rolls.

The Dry Tread Zone helps enhance handling and grip for confident maneuvering on dry pavement.”
