Toyota iQ bucket seat guide
2008 to 2016
The iQ is one of the smallest cars covered on this site, and cabin space is the main thing to think about before ordering a seat. Planted Technology confirm a bracket for it, shared with the badge-engineered Scion version sold in North America, and Custom Cages build a roll cage specifically for this shell, so a proper build is a straightforward order rather than a search for parts that might fit.
Side mounts are needed for every FIA bucket seat on this page, since none of them are listed for base mount on this car.
- Planted bracket is confirmed for the iQ, 2008 to 2016, £224.95
- Custom Cages confirm a Multipoint T45 Roll Cage Kit specifically for the iQ, £1,590.30
- The Cobra Clubman at £269.00 is the entry point into the FIA range
- The Cobra Nogaro Circuit at £819.00 sits at the top of the bucket seat range
- All FIA harnesses carry a stamped expiry date that ends their competition life regardless of wear
- The standard rear seat belt mounts are not rated for harness shoulder strap loads
The fitting bracket

Our recommendationCheck the cabin fit before ordering
On a car this small, size matters more than usual. Cameron works out the fit and the best combination for a given car, so tell him your height and build, and he will steer you towards a seat that actually works in the space rather than one that just fits the bolt pattern.
Harnesses
There is no harness made specifically for the iQ, so you are fitting a universal belt and working out the mounting yourself. The standard rear seat belt mounts are not rated for harness shoulder strap loads, so the roll cage below, a bolt-in harness bar, or a fabricated anchor point is needed.
The Schroth Profi 3×2 at £370 and the TRS Magnum 6 Point Superlite at £294.00 are both FIA 8853-2016. The TRS Magnum 4 Point at £139 is FIA 8854-1998. All three carry a stamped expiry date regardless of wear. For a road or trackday car, the Takata Drift II and III and the TRS Clubman belts cost less, though none of those four are HANS compatible.

Our recommendationConfirm the anchor before the belt
Tell us whether the car is caged, what is behind the seats now, and whether a head restraint is going in, and we will tell you what the shoulder straps can anchor to before you spend anything on the belt.
Roll cage
Custom Cages confirm a Multipoint T45 Roll Cage Kit specifically for the iQ at £1,590.30 which is the straightforward route to a proper harness anchor on this car.
If competing, check the specification against your class regulations before ordering, and keep the sign-off paperwork with the logbook. Pad any tube within reach of a helmet, and tell your insurer, because a cage is a notifiable modification.

Common questions
Which bracket does the iQ need?
Planted Technology confirm one at £224.95 per seat, for the 2008 to 2016 iQ, shared with the badge-engineered Scion version. It is priced per seat.
Is there a base mount seat option for the iQ?
The Cobra Clubman is base mount on this bracket. Every other bucket seat here is side mount and needs a set of side mounts added.
Is there a roll cage for the iQ?
Yes. Custom Cages confirm a Multipoint T45 Roll Cage Kit specifically for this car at £1,590.30.
Which seat suits a taller driver?
The Cobra Nogaro Club Sport and Nogaro Circuit are both listed for over 6ft. Most others on this page are under 6ft.
Which harness should I buy?
For FIA competition, the Schroth Profi 3×2 at £370 and the TRS Magnum 6 Point Superlite at £294.00 both meet 8853-2016, and the TRS Magnum 4 Point at £139 meets 8854-1998. For road and trackday use, the Takata Drift II and III and the TRS Clubman belts cost less but are not HANS compatible.
Can I use the standard rear seat belt mounts for the harness?
No. They are not rated for the loads a harness shoulder strap puts through them in an impact. The confirmed roll cage, a bolt-in harness bar, or a fabricated anchor point is needed instead.
