All New Toyota Aygo X Review & Road Test

If you are still in the market for good old fashioned petrol power, or maybe unable to access an EV charge point or simply not wanting something quite as big as a Toyota Yaris, the New Toyota Aygo X is definitely worth sticking on the shortlist in our opinion.
Currently it seems SUVs are the go-to choice for families, so the humble city car can sometimes be neglected. Enter the crossover, a compact mix that gives drivers the best of both worlds.
The Aygo X isn’t a car that will suit everyone, but it has great appeal for its target market. Aimed clearly at young suburbanites as well as smaller families looking for something that’s easy to park, cheap to run and looks great, the Aygo X definitely ticks all the boxes.
It gets its kerb appeal with a chunkier, meatier profile and some sporty styling cues as well as a decent selection of body colours to choose from.
Up front, the Toyota Aygo X is very spacious. To give it an SUV feel, the riding position is slightly higher, by 55mm. The seats offer a decent amount of comfort and there’s bags of legroom for the passenger and driver. In the rear, things are not so roomy. This is a five-door car and getting in and out of the rear door is a mission, plus once seated in the rear, the knees of adults will press against the front seats. It’s not especially comfortable for any real amount of time, but completely acceptable for the school run and potentially a lift home. The boot space is likewise acceptable & will hold a couple of travel bags easily with a capacity of 231 litres, extending to over 800 with the rear seats folded down.
There’s only one choice of engine, a 1.0-litre three-cylinder petrol that develops 72bhp. Where it’s still punchy enough around town, the Aygo X lacks grunt on hills, especially if you have a passenger or two on board. It can also be quite noisy at times, however, it offers good fuel economy (around 56-59mpg) so not all is bad news.
There’s a choice of an auto or manual gearbox, but we would recommend opting for the manual gearbox, giving you half a chance on hills and when overtaking, but the automatic transmission does offer a slightly better fuel economy.
There are four trim levels to choose from, but Entry-level Pure is our favourite Aygo X trim, starting at less than £15,000. You get 17in alloy wheels, electric front windows, automatic headlights, air conditioning and touchscreen infotainment all as standard.

I got this car for my wife, for the price it is a damn good car. I'm astonished by its smooth driving, suspension, etc...

Why road tax so much for it? 😱

[@nigelhydes2540]

Not often I watch all of a video as long as this, but this was watchable and informative. I ordered an Aygo X yesterday.

Great review Thank you 👍

[@volt8684]

Had one as courtesy car, so impressed I will buy one as my next car. I know this engine as the 1krfe engine is in 3 of my family cars. Tough, very easy diy, reliable 60mpg cruise😊at 70+ if you want can rev its off or very torquey if required pull from 30 in 5 th. Manual handbrake.this is a car for the masses if you want reliability and function. On e bay you can find many 1krfe engines with 150k miles on still running.

How is leg room for the driver ? For a tall person

[@lee-enfield0247]

19:20 For me rather than having a car's user manual I would rather have the workshop manual so I can do my own coupons and repairs without wasting time taking the car to the workshop!

[@kevr4698]

Lot's of knobbing around 😆

Not cheap, not cheerful 😢
