The Toyota Aygo
has regrouped and been refreshed to
keep it relevant and possible gather more sales than it has previously. As
Toyota’s entry-level model, Aygo
should really be setting sales records, but has so far failed to capture the
country’s imagination. With the
changes comes hope.
Aygo has a new front
end featuring a large trapezoidal
air intake, a new bonnet design, a
wider front bumper and a completely new front grille. Toyota says the look
reflects its new design language, as
personalised by the Yaris. As a result of the new styling, Aygo has grown its
overall length by 15mm.
Toyota refers to three new trim levels, namely the Fresh, Wild and Inferno, each
with its own unique features that
make it stand out. Inferno (5-door
only, pictured above) is built on a burnt orange metallic colour, Alcantara
seats, front fog lamps and a leather-covered
steering wheel. It is the highest-specced model in the range.
Fresh and Wild come in either 3-door or 5-door and are
equipeed with things like power steering, air conditioning, immobiliser, ABS and the like, while the Wild adds 14-inch alloys and remote central
locking.
Disappointingly Aygo keeps its 1.0-litre naturally aspirated engine, despite new turbo technologies now widely available
in all segments. Nevertheless, it does produce an adequate 50kW and 93Nm of torque.
Drive is still through the front wheels, via a 5-speed manual gearbox.

It's a Toyota. It will sell regardless.
Hi Thami
Our sales are in step with the number of units available to us from our European sister plant.
I trust that we would be able to retail more if could get our sweaty paws on more stock.
This is a good new face
