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.
