Aston Martin Cygnet and Toyota iQ: A comparison of luxury and economy city cars

jalopnik.com

Aston Martin created the Cygnet, a luxury city car based on the Toyota iQ, primarily to meet European Union fleet emissions regulations. The Cygnet shared its platform, powertrain, and interior components with the Toyota iQ but featured distinct exterior styling, including Aston Martin's signature grille, and a significantly more opulent interior. Priced at $38,000 compared to the iQ's $16,000, the Cygnet offered customization through Aston Martin's Q division, though its 98-horsepower engine prioritized efficiency over performance.
