Overview

  • Toyota’s updated Aygo X replaces its 71 bhp 1.0-litre petrol engine with a 1.5-litre three-cylinder unit mated to an electric motor.
  • The hybrid system delivers 116 DIN hp and enables a sub-10-second sprint from 0-100 km/h.
  • Class-leading CO2 emissions of 86 g/km make it the lowest-polluting non-plug-in car in Europe and production in Czechia cuts lifetime carbon footprint by 18 percent.
  • For the first time the Aygo X is available in a GR Sport trim with a G-pattern grille, bespoke alloy wheels, tuned suspension and sharper steering.
  • Standard hybrid hardware and enhanced safety equipment push the entry price above €17,000, positioning it at a premium to rival electric city cars.
