I test drove this car today and Richard's review is spot on. A really enjoyable drive. You do have to use the gears but If you get the gears and the clutch right it didn't feel flat at all. I didn't need to over rev the engine, and yes I am buying one, confirmed the order, with the Toyota dealer today.
When I was first considering this car, alot of other reviewers put me off, with the main focus being on the 1.0 litre engine and rear space, no mention on things like the excellent safety kit that comes as standard. I actually did think I wish there was review from Richard on this one, and now here we are 😊. Very informative as always thank you!
The problem with many reviewers is they don't focus on the purpose of the car if it doesn't fit their purpose. Namely it's launch time against a Lambo, flashiness or expense. What most people want to know is if a car will fit their needs from an impartial reviewer. Which is what we have here. Great review.
The one and only reason this car has a 1 litre engine is because of fuel economy the fact it doesn’t do 0 - 60 in 4 seconds is obvious there’s two much emphasis on top speed and acceleration driving on uk roads is top speed of 70 mph if it didn’t do that it would be a problem but it does. Very good in depth review Richard I’m definitely in the market for one of these thanks for sharing 👍
Probably the best review of a car I have ever seen! The car itself is one of the best looking cars you can buy at any price, shame the dash (speedo/rev counter are not better designed) and the engine is not a bit more powerful, but apart from that its a great looking car.
Those 18 inch wheels need special size 175 wide tyres which are very expensive and most tyre manufacturers don't make that size.. the three cylinder has lots of vibrations and they don't even bother with wind down windows on the rear..
@@jampam-jf8mt I've driven one as a courtesy car and it's just a massive downgrade on the previous Aygo. Ride if rough too as they had to stiffen the suspension to compensate for those ridiculous wheels and raised ride height.
Saw one recently for the first time and thought it looked pretty cool. Small yet chunky. Toyota are to be applauded for still offering a relatively cheap A segment product. More interesting than a VW Up or an i10 and as you mentioned that 3 pot engine sounds sweet.
I have the CVT. It's great - super smooth, and easy to dose the revs. So long as you don't drive aggressively, it's lovely. I've road-tripped mine a lot. From Northern Poland to Italy and back a couple of times, through the Alps; around Croatia, and also to the South West of Germany. It's very planted at speed, and effortless with the motorway assistance systems. Would be nice if road noise were a little lower at 125-130 km/h, but not too instrusive, and good for a tiny car. Main problem is lack of steering reach adjustment! At a solid 125 km/h - including over the Alps - I get 4.9 l per 100 kms without AC, and about 5.1 with.
The previous Aygo feels like cheap rubbish compared to the Aygo X. I can tell because I have driven both. You really notice that the Aygo X basically is a shortened Yaris. That also justifies the higher price in my opinion. You get a high and very comfortable driver position while still having a compact car that fits into any parking lot without trouble. It's a matter of opinion though, this car gets as much love as it gets hate. I personally like it.
I think It's a good looking car but It's just a shame it isn't available with anything more powerful than the 1,0 engine. Even the tiny Toyota IQ was available with a more powerful 1,3 engine, but this isn't.
@@andyantonioap Well a Yaris with the same features (keyless go and all that stuff) will get quite a bit more expensive though. A full-spec Yaris ends up above 30000€
I've owned both the old Aygo 2021 and this new one and at first I thought I wouldn't like it, But now I like way more than the last version. The CVT is a massive improvement over the automated manual in the last model. All the additional features, tighter turning circle, the build and height are great. Engine is really slow, if it had a turbo it would be perfect imo
Great review! Very informative as always. I’ve been looking at the Yaris myself but it’s good to see that the Aygo is still a good option. It’s great to see car reviews around the roads of my home town as well.
Thank you for the review. I picked up my Aygo X yesterday after trading in my Toyota Aygo 1.0 and couldn't be more pleased. The 10 year warranty has to be one of the best bits about this car. I love all the features and it's automatic.
Hi Jayne, could you clarify what the model you got, and how has it been driving, do you enjoy it? How are lights at night, are they efficient enough? BTW Congratulations on your new car!
@@Olyshka. I have the Edge Automatic is Juniper Blue. Bought it at the end of March so coming up to two months. It is an amazing car and drives like a dream. I have absolutely no complaints and highly recommend it to anyone.
Another excellent, comprehensive and unbiased review. As my next car will likely be the last car I buy - and I want to downsize, this is looking quite favourable.
Simply the best video online showing the Aygo X !!! Great attention to details - just like one would expect if it were a Toyota salesperson. (maybe even better) You convinced me and will be leasing an Aygo X on Tuesday. Thank you!
Excellent review. Really clear and fair. I drive an 8 year old mii at the moment so this is a good replacement. I test drove 1 last week and agreed with your review. Nice little drive and my other cars are a 981spyder and a bmw so I know what a decent car drives like! Fun little car and like all these 1 litre cars you have to drive well using the gears and planning ahead. 72 hp is fine for tbis car which only weights 940kg. Now Ordered . A pure version. and will take delivery in sept.
Great review, very logical and well judged. I test drove an Aygo X last week and really enjoyed it, it's the perfect commuter car. I liked the spec (especially the adaptive cruise), the ride and composure and the characterful engine. So I've ordered a new one, same spec, just without the soft roof - an Edge manual with parking pack.
Was an interesting review particularly as I'm a previous Aygo owner. I bought an Aygo Blue 5dr back in 2008 which I used for driving tuition. There have obviously been considerable improvements made since then, you mentioned the quietness at 70mph, my car had high levels of road noise and driving at 50mph on the motorway for an hour used to give me a headache. As to reliability I was unfortunate enough to have the water pump seize which took the drive belt with it when the car had only done 8k miles, managed to get it to the dealer just as the overheating warning light came on. Dealer said it would take 3 days to get the part, highly inconvenient as I had a pupil taking their test the following day, after some pleading they said they would remove the water pump from another Aygo they had in the showroom 😅 Have to admit I didn't have much faith in the car after that. Agree that the gearing holds it back, 5th gear was fine but the other 4 would have benefited from being lower. In general pupils liked it but when I eventually sold my private use car it had to go, swapped it for a Skoda Fabia VRS 1.9Tdi, now that was a fabulous car 😊
I got a 2016 Aygo as my first car last July just after passing and I love it. I remember thinking the clutch felt high when I first got it but got used to it and it’s nice to drive now, been on several long trips up the country and surprisingly comfortable for a small car
I own a golf gtd and when I switch to my girlfriends c1 (basically the same car as this) I’m always over-revving it. The clutch is very high on them. But I guess you soon get used to whatever you drive
i have had my Aygo 2017 for over a month now and that clutch really bothers me as so high. I still stall and roll car back as i have so much trouble with the biting point and then i am over revving.
Great review - the most balanced and informative that I have seen. We have just put down a deposit on an ex-demo Limited edition to replace our 17 plate X-Claim which we have loved. It’s really fully loaded with spec including heated seats etc. Once you have a fun roof nothing else compares, the car is perfect for touring the single track roads in Scotland! I only wish a fun roof was an option on my P-HEV RAV4 - the moon roof even when open is just not as good!
Had my Aygo X for around a year now and regularly get mid 60 mpg . I am about to change it for a Mazda 2 GT Sport and the only thing that i feel let down by the Mazda is the pathetic 3 year warranty . Love this video and the one about the Mazda 2 .
I was slightly disappointed by the long 1st and 2nd gear of the prev gen Aygo. And I see that they continued this on the Aygo X. Luckily my Nissan Note has the 1st and 2nd just right
Hi Richard - I follow both of your channel. Very informative. You really put effort into your content, appreciated. On side note, How would you rate Leon 1.4 TSI are they reliable ?
I think it’s strange that they’ve omitted the central climate vents. I know they’ve always had those pop out rear windows but it feels cheap when the i10 has normal windows in the back and a full set of climate vents lol
It's still weird to me. They made the Aygo to be this tiny wee thing, this small city car. But then they made it bigger and off-roadier? SUVier? But its the Aygo? The smallest Toyota??? Bizarre. I'm sure someone likes it, though.
The original Aygo was just a rebranded Citroën C1. But Citroën discontinued the C1 so Toyota had to make a new car using the same platform that they use for other cars (Yaris, Aqua, etc.)
I guess it's supposed to combine the advantages of an SUV (high driving position, good ground clearance) with the compactness of a city car. I personally like it.
Not enough demand for Aygo-sized cars among new-car buyers. Prices for new cars are going up (whether due to safety and emissions regulations or just inflation) and the sort of buyer who would buy the old Aygo is likely going for used cars. But demand for higher-riding hatchbacks (crossovers) is strong and so car makers are tapping into that market instead as people are willing to pay more there. I also suspect the Aygo was built taller this generation to prepare for an EV version as the floor would need to be higher to accommodate the battery. But that’s just me speculating.
Great review! I've got my test in early April and have been looking at cars. Looking at the VW polo at the moment. Have also been looking at PCP but I don't think it's a good idea to have a new car as my first, higher potential to damage it etc.
I’m in the same boat as you, but used cars are really pricy right now with some being more than brand new. Plus with PCP you can get a newer car that’s still under warranty and has better safety and tech.
@@nazifachoudhury5836 true but i don't know what the insurance is like for PCP vehicles, at the end of the term what's the charges on scratches/dents etc. Don't think I'll go for PCP myself, probably go to a dealer and get something second hand.
@@dumdum9898 that's my thoughts as well, buy private and you never really know what you're buying. Intermittent and permanent electrical faults are easy to hide. At least you stand half a chance to get it sorted with a reputable dealer.
I wish toyota sold thier economy cars in the U.S. I would love to have a Yaris or Aygo. RN we only have the Corolla, but we get different versions than other countries, they almost never have the L trim, and the LE trim cost 24k
It's staggering that a car that tiny has 18 inch wheels. The things, it needs them, because anything smaller and they will look lost. Breathtaking when you consider how tiny the car is.
Excellent I would say access to the back is limited. But good Economy for a regular petrol engine. Interesting the Auto is CVT….i think prev auto versions of the early models were MultiMode - automated manual and with only 1 automated clutch, and not very reliable. Wheel adjusters for seats are way better than levers imo. One of the few things I hate about my Honda is the lever adjustment for back support. It’s rubbish, and will prob break in the future.
We thought about this car then discovered the engineers were on a tea break when the rear door access was designed. Unless you are a contortionist and can slip into a letterbox opening easily, forget trying to get the mother-in-law, child seat and even a very small dog into the back. Why don’t Toyota design rear doors that open wider?
I think a good comparison video could be between one of these new vs a same priced used car from 2020. I’m wondering why you’d buy one of these new over something more plush, just a few years older.
This will be my first car and I've put a deposit down for a second hand CVT (auto) Pure trim at around £14k, the reason is the insurance :) I could get an older Yaris for that price but costs twice as much to insure. I test drove an older Aygo and didn't like the way auto worked in that one. Dealer tried to sell me PCP which had a lower interest rate for a new Aygo X than a used one, so if I had chose PCP I would have gone with brand new as over the term it was the same as a 2 year old car anyway.
Great comprehensive review. The 3-cylinders, lack of proper rear windows and odd exterior styling puts me off. I think the Hyundai i10 has it beat on all these points. Gotta hand it to Toyota for the economy and 10-year warranty though.
The car is aimed at retirees for the odd jaunt to the garden centre/supermarket....I have not seen anyone driving it under 70 years old. With that in mind I have some advice for Toyota....drop the silly leccy driver `aides`; Cruise control, hill assist, sign recog, steer assist, auto lights etc....then make the base model £13,900....then you will sell 35% more units.
Took our CHR for it's service at Toyota got one of these as a courtesy car, quite surprised how good they are, there isn't anything l can say l dislike.
I can't find any reason for anyone to buy this car over a Picanto X-Line for basically the same money. Even the basic Picanto seems better, to be honest.
Bought an 2016 aygo oxygen sensor problem still have anti skid light on wish I kept my 2003 vw polo now polo much more solid than these cheap made new cars
It's a massive downgrade on the previous Aygo that came before it which was quicker, more fuel efficent and more comfortable to drive. The raised ride height and the silly tall narrow wheels make the car want to roll over for which Toyota compensated by fitting a stiffer suspension so you get a rough ride and poor handling at the same time. The tall narrow wheels have a weird tyre size so they have to be ordered in no same day fitting and they are £150 a prop on what's meant to be a simple economy car. The only advantage this car has is a much better turning circle thanks to the tall wheels. It's still a mechanically sound car and relatively efficent but I see no reason why if you have a MK2 Toyota Aygo you would drop it for this car.
What is it with the British that love to speed down very narrow bendy country roads. Roads in Europe are much better. They are long straight, WIDE boulevards. Britain taken note!😢
I think it's a bad idea to make cars with names that people can't pronounce or will say incorrectly - simplicity is key when it comes to naming cars in my opinion.
I test drove this car today and Richard's review is spot on. A really enjoyable drive. You do have to use the gears but If you get the gears and the clutch right it didn't feel flat at all.

230/315 alternating between each year

Hope they have designed out the water ingress issues of the older gens of Aygo ?
Boot seals,and third brake light gaskets ?
Impressive. Thanks
Thank you for an excellent review Richard.

Great review - the most balanced and informative that I have seen. We have just put down a deposit on an ex-demo Limited edition to replace our 17 plate X-Claim which we have loved. It’s really fully loaded with spec including heated seats etc. Once you have a fun roof nothing else compares, the car is perfect for touring the single track roads in Scotland! I only wish a fun roof was an option on my P-HEV RAV4 - the moon roof even when open is just not as good!
Really enjoy your reviews. Very informative and well edited.
Another excellent review from you. You should be on TV !
I find the high biting point ridiculously hard to prevent stalling sometimes, and I'm quite a new driver so not the best haha

It does have a central vent, it’s on the top of the dashboard and points towards you

Wheel adjusters for seats are way better than levers imo. One of the few things I hate about my Honda is the lever adjustment for back support. It’s rubbish, and will prob break in the future.
I'm a driving instructor 6'3 " all legs will front seats go back far enough for me to get comfortable? many thanks.
We thought about this car then discovered the engineers were on a tea break when the rear door access was designed. Unless you are a contortionist and can slip into a letterbox opening easily, forget trying to get the mother-in-law, child seat and even a very small dog into the back. Why don’t Toyota design rear doors that open wider?
The Idea of the all Glass hatchback (glass rear door) is that it's lighter and uses less fuel but obviously cheaper to build aswell.😢
A question here, those seats, are they same size and same fabric as the previos version?
Great review ! Could you do a 1l Honda Civic?
If I get the opportunity I will. Although I didn't known they did a 1 litre civic.
Richard can you please review the last gen, hyundai i20( 2015 to 2019)
I will if get the opportunity.
@@RichardFanders thank you
what about car tax? is it 0 like the regular aygo?
I think a good comparison video could be between one of these new vs a same priced used car from 2020. I’m wondering why you’d buy one of these new over something more plush, just a few years older.
The same could be said for any new car vs a used car. It depends how much the buyer values being the first owner.
This will be my first car and I've put a deposit down for a second hand CVT (auto) Pure trim at around £14k, the reason is the insurance :) I could get an older Yaris for that price but costs twice as much to insure. I test drove an older Aygo and didn't like the way auto worked in that one. Dealer tried to sell me PCP which had a lower interest rate for a new Aygo X than a used one, so if I had chose PCP I would have gone with brand new as over the term it was the same as a 2 year old car anyway.
At 7:29, how do you move between functions please on the screen?
Great comprehensive review. The 3-cylinders, lack of proper rear windows and odd exterior styling puts me off. I think the Hyundai i10 has it beat on all these points. Gotta hand it to Toyota for the economy and 10-year warranty though.
What's wrong with 3 cylinders? Explain please? I'll bet you can't 😂
The back doors not opening wide and no rolling down window turns me off this car .
Did you get a chance to try out the cvt version ?
i think you should review the new qashqai
I will if I get the opportunity.
The car is aimed at retirees for the odd jaunt to the garden centre/supermarket....I have not seen anyone driving it under 70 years old. With that in mind I have some advice for Toyota....drop the silly leccy driver `aides`; Cruise control, hill assist, sign recog, steer assist, auto lights etc....then make the base model £13,900....then you will sell 35% more units.
That's good advice for Toyota ( and probably a few other car makers ) unfortunately I don't think they will listen.
17:55 wow not far off double the normal cost for city car tyres! So much for cheap running costs. I guess it will cheap on fuel though and maintenance
Currently got one of these as a courtesy car and absolutely despise it
22:45 is that another model on the right?
Yep
I timed that 0-60mph at 13 secs....
In my country you can get brand new yaris cross EVEN cheaper 😂
Yea price should be lower like under $19k
Took our CHR for it's service at Toyota got one of these as a courtesy car, quite surprised how good they are, there isn't anything l can say l dislike.
I was really waiting for this review. Do you think this is a great first car for someone purchasing their first car?
No, buy an older used car. In my opinion, a new car is not worth the risk of being damaged (more likely as a new driver).
You have to decide that, I recommend trying as many as you can before deciding.
I can't find any reason for anyone to buy this car over a Picanto X-Line for basically the same money. Even the basic Picanto seems better, to be honest.
This would be the city car to have if the Kia 100hp 1.0 T-GDI engine did not exist
What's the point revving the engine it's just burning fuel the whole point of the car to save fuel ?
6.5L/100km is the fuel economy conversion.
Dissapointed tbh.
hurray
I finally got the first place. well let me now enjoy the moment while it lasts
😂
I dont know why but this car looks kinda "huh" . Nice reviews bruh.
The back windows make me sad 😅
Great review :)
Shame on people that drive anything bigger than this for commuting….fine car!
Bought an 2016 aygo oxygen sensor problem still have anti skid light on wish I kept my 2003 vw polo now polo much more solid than these cheap made new cars
£18-£21k for basically a face lift with the same old 72ps engine. Surely this is only aimed at the clinically insane?
It's a massive downgrade on the previous Aygo that came before it which was quicker, more fuel efficent and more comfortable to drive. The raised ride height and the silly tall narrow wheels make the car want to roll over for which Toyota compensated by fitting a stiffer suspension so you get a rough ride and poor handling at the same time. The tall narrow wheels have a weird tyre size so they have to be ordered in no same day fitting and they are £150 a prop on what's meant to be a simple economy car. The only advantage this car has is a much better turning circle thanks to the tall wheels. It's still a mechanically sound car and relatively efficent but I see no reason why if you have a MK2 Toyota Aygo you would drop it for this car.
Why do the british love Speeding down narrow country windy lanes....l I think I ll stick to straight wide roads for my guilty pleasure.🎉😂
What is it with the British that love to speed down very narrow bendy country roads. Roads in Europe are much better. They are long straight, WIDE boulevards. Britain taken note!😢
Suzuki Ignis beats this hands down
If they wanted us to call it Cross, then it should be: + or even better ✝️ and not and X letter.
I think it's a bad idea to make cars with names that people can't pronounce or will say incorrectly - simplicity is key when it comes to naming cars in my opinion.
