Toyota Aygo (05 on) - Review

Review by David Ross on
Last Updated: 22 May 2012
The Aygo is Toyota's take on an urban runabout aimed primarily at twenty-somethings. Jointly developed with Peugeot and Citroen (although the vehicle design is all Toyota's work), the Aygo has a frugal yet feisty three-cylinder engine, ultra-low running costs and superior quality to most cars this small. Available as a three or five-door, it will just about transport four six-foot adults in relative comfort, with nimble handling and a smooth ride - however the boot is tiny and the cabin is fairly basic too. The Aygo+ and Sport models add extra kit over the base model, while option packs include Samsonite bags and portable satellite navigation. An automated manual gearbox is also available with similar fuel consumption to the standard manual.

Equipment

The Aygo has most things you expect to find on a small car with a CD player, ABS, twin airbags, height adjustable steering, an auxiliary input (for MP3 players or iPods), power steering and a folding rear seat. Spending a little more on the Aygo+ and you get electric front windows, side airbags, remote central locking, a better audio system and split rear seats. Sport models also have alloys and a rev counter. Options include air conditioning, travel pack and navigation pack while the TomTom navigation system has a touch-screen display with a 3D colour map showing the route. During 2007 the Sport was phased out in favour of special edition models. The Aygo Black, Aygo Blue and Aygo Platinum are based on the Sport but have varying levels of equipment. The Aygo Blue comes with air conditioning, an exclusive metallic blue paint colour and Bluetooth. The Black is focussed on style and gets 14-inch alloys, Alcantara and leather upholstery, a leather steering wheel and gear lever, along with a black metallic exterior.
