The United Kingdom’s BBC have named Toyota’s i-ROAD as the most fascinating city car of 2013.

Toyota’s i-ROAD is a leaning three-wheel car that is headed for production in Japan. Toyota is banking on it being a popular car in urban environments like the country’s capital city Tokyo.

The car was unveiled at the Geneva motor show in March and is just 33.5 inches wide.

The motorcycle-style wheels allow the car to lean into corners with ease. Toyota says the electric motors recharge in just three hours and cover 30 miles on full charge.

BBC editor Matthew Phenix says the move shows Toyota’s commitment to small and smart city transportation is a very big deal indeed.
