| Body: | Coupe | Hatchback | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gearbox: | Manual | Manual | |
| Engine: | 0.8 Diesel | 1.0 Petrol | |
| Diesel (Smart ForTwo) engines typically outperform gasoline engines in terms of fuel efficiency and low-end torque. This makes them more economical and better suited for towing or long-distance travel. However, gasoline (Toyota Aygo) engines mostly are lighter, quieter, and offer better acceleration and responsiveness, especially in smaller vehicles. For more information, see the article "Diesel or Petrol: Fuel Economy and Key Differences." | |||
Performance | |||
| Power: | 54 HP | 68 HP | |
| Torque: | 130 NM | 93 NM | |
| Acceleration 0-100 km/h: | 16.8 seconds | 14.2 seconds | |
|
Toyota Aygo is a more dynamic driving. Smart ForTwo engine produces 14 HP less power than Toyota Aygo, but torque is 37 NM more than Toyota Aygo. Due to the lower power, Smart ForTwo reaches 100 km/h speed 2.6 seconds later. | |||
Fuel consumption | |||
| Fuel consumption (l/100km): | 3.3 | 3.8 | |
| Real fuel consumption: | 4.6 l/100km | 5.4 l/100km | |
|
The Smart ForTwo is a better choice when it comes to fuel economy. By specification Smart ForTwo consumes 0.5 litres less fuel per 100 km than the Toyota Aygo, which means that by driving the Smart ForTwo over 15,000 km in a year you can save 75 litres of fuel.

Drive type | |||
| Wheel drive type: | Rear wheel drive (RWD) | Front wheel drive (FWD) | |
| Front-wheel drive cars (Toyota Aygo) have better traction on slippery roads and when climbing hills, better fuel economy, and are less expensive to purchase. On the disadvantage side, FWD cars usually have less towing capacity, poorer acceleration and harder handling. Rear-wheel drive cars (Smart ForTwo) have better handling on dry roads, better acceleration, more even weight distribution and more fun to drive. RWD is also better for towing large loads. The cons of rear-wheel drive are less interior and trunk space and more difficulty maneuvering in wet and snowy conditions. | |||
| Toyota Aygo 2005 1.0 engine: Engine often vibrates and has difficulty starting in cold weather. Timing chain lifetime is not very long. | |||
Dimensions | |||
| Length: | 2.70 m | 3.41 m | |
| Width: | 1.56 m | 1.62 m | |
| Height: | 1.57 m | 1.46 m | |
|
Smart ForTwo is smaller, but higher. Smart ForTwo is 72 cm shorter than the Toyota Aygo, 6 cm narrower, while the height of Smart ForTwo is 11 cm higher. | |||
| Trunk capacity: | 220 litres | 139 litres | |
| Trunk max capacity: with rear seats folded down, if possible |
340 litres | 751 litres | |
| Even though the car is shorter, The Toyota Aygo may have more interior space, so the cabin could be more spacious and more comfortable for the driver and passengers. The maximum boot capacity (with all rear seats folded down) is larger in Toyota Aygo (by 411 litres). | |||
| Turning diameter: | 8.8 meters | 9.4 meters | |
| The turning circle of the Smart ForTwo is 0.6 metres less than that of the Toyota Aygo, which means Smart ForTwo can be easier to manoeuvre in tight streets and parking spaces. | |||
| Gross weight: | 1`050 kg | 1`160 kg | |
| Net weight: | 780 kg | 790 kg | |
| Load capacity: | 270 kg | 370 kg | |
| Smart ForTwo load capacity (permitted cargo and passenger weight) is par apmēram 37 procentiem less than Toyota Aygo. Therefore, Toyota Aygo is more suitable for longer family trips or transporting heavier loads. | |||
