The Aston Martin Cygnet was a series of compact luxury hatchbacks that was introduced for the 2011 model year. The Cygnet was largely a rebadged version of the Toyota iQ that Aston Martin was forced to create in order to comply with EU emissions regulations. Although initially a UK exclusive, the Cygnet became available in various European markets. These cars were powered by a 1.3L inline four engine, which sent 97hp to the front wheels through a 6 speed manual or CVT automatic transmission. Sales of the Cygnet barely reached 300 examples, leading Aston Martin to discontinue the model in 2013.
