Engines | |||
| Average engine lifespan: | 350'000 km | 390'000 km | |
| Engine resource depends largely on regular maintenance and the quality of the oils and fuels used, but under equal conditions the average life of a Toyota Aygo engine could be longer. | |||
| Engine production duration: | 9 years | 2 years | |
| Engine spread: | Installed on at least 2 other car models, including Hyundai Getz, Hyundai i10 | Used only for this car | |
| In general, the longer and for more car models an engine is produced, the better its serviceability and availability of spare parts. Kia Picanto might be a better choice in this respect. | |||
| Hydraulic tappets: | no | yes | |
| The Toyota Aygo engine has hydraulic tappets (lifters), providing quieter operation and no need for periodic adjustment, but they are more complex in design and can cause serious engine damage in case of failure. | |||
