The new Aygo is so x-citing

“X” MARKS the feature on the new Toyota Aygo which will make the latest generation of the popular city car a hit for the Japanese company that has produced the vehicle like the one before it in conjunction with Peugeot and Citroen who each have their own versions writes Bryan Longworth.

For the new car which is built in the Czech Republic offers customers a huge choice of personalisation to make it very distinctive especially with the X-shape front end element that defines the hip new look and which can be acquired in a variety of colours - the one on the black test car was white - along with packs for personalising other parts of the car.

The “X” theme is extended to the three different grades for Aygo which is why my test car was the Aygo x-clusiv five door costing £11,695 on the road - this was next to the top model with prices starting at £8,595 for the x grade three door.

The personalisation packs are fitted by Toyota in the UK to customer order at a new hub set up at the Toyota factory near Derby which ensures customers will not have to wait long for the personalisation process - the X frontal pack costs £395.
