The Toyota Aygo is a city car that has been in production since 2005, designed for urban mobility with compact dimensions, fuel efficiency, and a youthful design. Developed as part of a collaboration between Toyota, Peugeot, and Citroën, the Aygo shares its platform with the Peugeot 107/108 and Citroën C1.
The first generation (2005–2014) featured a compact and practical design, powered by a 1.0-liter three-cylinder petrol engine that emphasized efficiency and low running costs. The Aygo quickly gained popularity as an affordable and easy-to-maneuver city car.
The second generation (2014–2022) introduced a more distinctive and aggressive design with an X-shaped front fascia. It retained the efficient 1.0-liter engine but received upgrades in technology, safety features, and overall refinement. Improved infotainment systems and customization options made it a more appealing choice for younger drivers.
In 2022, Toyota replaced the Aygo with the Toyota Aygo X, transitioning it into a small crossover-like city car. The Aygo X features a raised ride height, a bolder design, and updated technology while maintaining the compact footprint suitable for urban environments.
In user reviews, the Toyota Aygo is praised for its affordability, easy handling, and fuel efficiency, making it ideal for city driving. Owners appreciate its reliability and low maintenance costs. However, some criticisms include limited cabin space, modest engine power, and basic interior materials compared to larger models.
