This is the production version of the Toyota Aygo X

Remember the chunky little Toyota Aygo X concept that we first saw in March this year? Well, it’s now ready for production, and we’re actually a little disappointed…

Concepts are always watered down for general sale of course, but the Aygo X looked mini but mighty before, whereas now it’s arguably a little bland. Toyota describes it as a “new generation of accessible style and fun”.

There’s no powertrain information as of yet, although we do know that it’s based on Toyota’s small car platform that also underpins the Yaris and Yaris Cross. There’ll be a choice of manual or CVT gearboxes, though.

What will also be an option is a retractable canvas roof, and the different exterior colours are called Cardamom, Chilli, Ginger and Juniper. Spicy. All are combined with a black roof and plenty of crossover-favourite black plastic. Maximum wheel size is 18-inches (as shown on the green – sorry Cardamom – special edition above).

The boot is 231 litres - decent for a city car - and the turning circle is just 4.7m, which should be helpful in the European cities that the Aygo X has been designed for. 

Inside you’ll get a nine-inch touchscreen with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay to go with your four seats and not much else. What do we reckon, Internet?
