2018 TOYOTA Aygo 1.0L VVT-i 5MT FWD (72 HP)

Vehicle Overview

Designed as a city car, the Aygo was redesigned for 2018.

The small vehicle built in the Czech Republic competed with the VW Up and the i10, however, it looked the most fun if you ask me.

Available in a 3-door or a 5-door configuration, the Aygo was a very light vehicle with its weight below 1000 kg.

The redesigned front kept the X shape, and added more 3D effect. The side of the Aygo gave the impression of a flying roof.

At the back, the iconic shape was kept, however, the taillights were refreshed.

The Aygo came with standard 15-inch aluminum wheels that had a funky design.

One engine variant was available for the Aygo, a 1.0-liter 3-cylinder engine that developed 72 hp, 3 hp more than the previous model.

The engine was mated to either a manual or an automatic gearbox.

The Aygo’s cabin was mostly made with hard plastics that had a good finish, not giving the impression of a cheap car, even if it was not an expensive vehicle.

The interior was rather retro-funky, with some elements fitting the car’s exterior color. The nice looking fabric seats had integrated head restraints, more like in a sportier car.

The steering wheel was height-adjustable only and it moved with the cluster as well.

Optionally, a foldable roof with a wide opening could be added to the package.

The Aygo was equipped with keyless entry, Apple CarPlay, USB ports, a 12V power outlet and an optional rear-view camera.
