NY Auto Show: Scion Announces New EV

To no one’s surprise, Scion announced the Scion iQ Concept, which is basically a Toyota iQ with some small body changes.  The paint is very different, true to Scion’s brand, but for the most part, it’s an iQ.

The car will be squarely aimed at Scion’s target market: young adults. It will be priced as such and have features to match.  So, like the Toyota iQ, it will not likely be freeway-capable or have an extremely long range.  Scion did not rule out the idea of it being a PHEV either.
