Launched in 2005, the first generation #Toyota #AYGO was designed to attract young, urban-based customers, and to bring a greater sense of playfulness to the Toyota brand.


AYGO was not only Toyota's first model in the compact city car segment, but also the result of a new joint-venture with PSA, with the cars specifically developed for Europe and produced at the new TPCA (Toyota Peugeot Citroën Automobile) factory in Kolin, Czech Republic.

Since its launch in 2014, the current AYGO has been a notable success for Toyota in the European A-segment. Its instantly recognisable, trademark 'X' frontal design and the broad range of customisation options it offered ensured that it always stood out from the crowd.


Toyota's award-winning, 998 cc, 3-cylinder, 12-valve, DOHC, Dual VVT-i engine is now Euro 6.2 compliant. The unit has been extensively revised, now combing an ideal balance of power and fuel consumption with enhanced torque delivery at lower engine rpm for an even better driving experience in urban traffic.


The engine now develops 53 kW (72 DIN hp) at 6,000 rpm, and 93 Nm of torque at 4,400 rpm. New AYGO will accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 13.8 seconds, and on to a top speed of 160 km/h.


New Toyota AYGO comes in both standard and Eco versions. The latter benefits from a longer 4th and 5th gear, low Rolling Resistance Coefficient (RRC) tyres, Toyota's Stop & Start system and aerodynamic improvements.


The standard version achieves a fuel consumption of just 4.1 l/100 km and CO2 emissions of only 93 g/km. The Eco version returns class-leading fuel economy figures of as low as 3.8 l/100 km and CO2 emissions of only 86 g/km.
