Aston Martin Cygnet

It's hard to believe but Aston really is putting a rebadged Toyota IQ into production

Aston Martin Cygnet

Forget supercars, this is the Aston Martin Supermini! It’s the most startling news story for a decade, but Aston really is putting a Toyota IQ-based city-car into production… And we’ll get our first glimpse of it in Frankfurt.

The tiniest Aston ever will share the same 1.3-litre three-cylinder petrol engine as the iQ, along with its innovative three-plus-one seating arrangement.

Inside, expect the same attention to detail as you’d get on the DBS, with a leather-clad cabin featuring the very best materials, along with an ECU (Emotion Control Unit) that plugs into the centre console, replacing a traditional key.

But there’s a catch. The firm is only making them available to existing customers. The company has identified that around 30 per cent of owners have small cars such as the MINI or Smart ForTwo in their garages, using them for short journeys to and from city-based offices. Now Aston is giving them the chance to buy their very own ‘luxury commuter’.
