The IQ design emphasizes fuel efficiency, maneuverability, low environmental impact, and interior space. Six design factors enable the minimal overhangs, forward windscreen location, maximized cabin space and overall compactness:

• A newly developed differential mounted further forward than usual
• A centre take-off steering gear
• A flat fuel tank positioned underneath the cabin floor
• Rear-angled shock absorbers to encroach less on rear passenger space
• A smaller heater/air conditioning unit mounted centrally behind the asymmetric dashboard
• A slimmer seat design.

The iQ features a transmissions differential housing located ahead of, rather than behind, the engine; a starter motor incorporated in the engine's flywheel, a high-mounted steering rack and a compact, high-located air conditioning unit behind the dashboard central area. The arrangement allows the front passenger to sit forward of the driver, giving increased rear passenger legroom. A shallow under-floor fuel tank reduces rear overhang.{{cite news |last=Hutton |first=Ray |author-link=Jewels in the Crown#About the author |date=December 2008 |title=2010 Toyota iQ |url=http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/2010-toyota-iq-first-drive-review |work=Car and Driver |publisher=}}

Because of its overall width and engine displacement, the iQ is classified in its home market as a supermini, though its length complies with kei car dimensional regulations.

European sales of the iQ peaked at 44,282 in 2009, and then gradually decreased to less than a thousand in 2015.{{cite web |last1=Demandt |first1=Bart |title=Toyota IQ European sales figures |url=https://carsalesbase.com/europe-toyota-iq/ |website=carsalesbase.com |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200626130055/https://carsalesbase.com/europe-toyota-iq/ |archive-date=26 June 2020 |url-status=live}} In Europe, the iQ was priced at approximately {{currency|10,000|GBP}}, more than the larger Toyota Aygo.{{cite web |last1=Madden |first1=Luke |title=Toyota iQ (2009-2015) review |url=https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/toyota/iq |website=Auto Express |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200327001601/https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/toyota/iq |archive-date=27 March 2020 |language=en |date=5 May 2012 |url-status=live}}

Production of the Scion iQ EV (Toyota eQ in Japan) was to be limited to 100 units for special fleet use in Japan and carsharing demonstration projects in the U.S. Deliveries of the all-electric version with a range of {{convert|80|km|mi|abbr=on}} began in the U.S. in March 2013.

Designed as a city commuting vehicle, the iQ EV has a lower battery capacity that also translates into a shorter charging time, allowing the car to be fully recharged in approximately three hours, and using fast charging, the battery can be recharged up to 80% capacity in only 15 minutes. The iQ EV has a 150 cell 12 kWh 277.5 V lithium-ion battery pack that delivers a NEDC-certified range of {{convert|85|km|mi|abbr=on}}, and rated {{convert|80|km|mi|0|abbr=on}} in the U.S. Based on further development of Toyota's Hybrid Synergy Drive technology, the iQ EV's fully electric powertrain comprises an air-cooled, 47 kW electric motor/generator, the 12 kWh battery pack, a 3 kW water-cooled battery charger, an inverter, a DC/DC converter and a motor speed reduction mechanism. Maximum torque of {{Convert|163|Nm|lbft|0|abbr=on}} is delivered to the front wheels, giving the iQ EV 0–100 km/h (62 mph) acceleration of 14.0 seconds and a maximum speed of {{convert|125|kph|abbr=on}}. Like other Toyota full hybrid vehicles, the iQ EV is equipped with a regenerative braking system.

The iQ EV has a minimum turning radius of just {{convert|4.1|m|ft|abbr=on}} and with a length of {{convert|3120|mm|in|1|abbr=on}}, making the iQ EV {{convert|135|mm|in|1|abbr=on}} longer than a standard iQ. The electric car shares the iQ overall width of {{convert|1680|mm|in|1|abbr=on}}, height of {{convert|1505|mm|in|abbr=on}} and wheelbase of {{convert|2000|mm|in|1|abbr=on}}. High tensile sheet steel has been extensively used in the body shell construction to minimize the additional weight caused by the lithium-ion battery pack, and as a result, the iQ EV weighs just {{convert|125|kg|lb|abbr=on}} more than a standard 1.3L CVT iQ.

The U. S. Environmental Protection Agency rated the 2013 iQ EV with a combined fuel economy of 121 miles per gallon gasoline equivalent (MPG-e) ({{convert|121|mpgus|L/100 km|abbr=on|disp=out|1}}) with an energy consumption of 28 kW-hrs/100 miles. The city rating is 138 MPG-e ({{convert|138|mpgus|L/100 km|abbr=on|disp=out|1}}) with an energy consumption of 24 kW-hrs/100 miles and 105 MPG-e ({{convert|105|mpgus|L/100 km|abbr=on|disp=out|1}}) with an energy consumption of 32 kW-hrs/100 miles for highway driving.{{cite web | url = http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/Find.do?action=sbs&id=33307 | title = 2013 Scion iQ EV | publisher = fueleconomy.gov | date = 30 November 2012 | access-date = 10 December 2012}}
