Why was Toyota iQ discontinued?

The Toyota iQ was discontinued for several reasons. One of the main factors was the unfavorable exchange rates between Europe and Japan, which hampered sales. Additionally, the iQ would have required significant alterations to meet upcoming EU emissions regulations, which would have increased the model’s price. The discontinuation of the iQ was also influenced by its declining sales. In the United States, for example, sales of the Scion iQ, the North American version of the iQ, fell by 50% in 2014. Aston Martin, which produced a rebadged version of the iQ called the Cygnet, also stopped production of the Cygnet because Toyota was discontinuing the iQ. It is worth noting that Toyota has not officially confirmed the reasons for discontinuing the iQ.
