Toyota Aygo X Review - Has the SUV trend gone nuts? (Exclusive Manual) 2022

[@colinwirral]

It’s easy to criticise this car but having bought one I can categorically state that it’s comfortable, fun and quite capable of motorway driving. A trip to Surrey from Merseyside was no problem and all at 56mpg. If you need more room or performance-buy a bigger car!

[@gravemind6536]

There is much to criticise on it like the terrible performance the fact its a vile 3 pot engine thats rough and noisy, the fact it handles awfully and feels like it wants to topple over the fact there is no central climate vents and all the cheap interior parts on a tiny car that has an asking price of £17500ish. However everything I have just said is subjective and you probably disagree with. However there is one thing that cannot be denied 175/70/R18 tyre size is silly and so is the asking price for such a tyre, there is only one tyre option for this car that was presumably designed specifically for it and those tyres are £171 each you're looking at £700 for a full set of tyres on a little city car where even £400 should get you a set of premium tyres. you quote 56mpg on a long trip like its impressive, my own car a Toyota Auris 1.2T I4 116hp gets 56mpg on a long run down the motorway and backroads and it does it all without having to go at 3000RPM or more whilst being more comfortable, handling better going quicker having just about every single thing be better than it. Ironically a full set of continetal ecocontact 6 tyres cost £396 fully fitted too.

I don't know why people criticise city cars for being slow when driving in cities is SO SLOW! People who buy these cars aren't necessarily dreaming of Ferraris they want practical, small, economical cars with excellent reliability, which is what they will get. And, for being stuck in traffic day in and day, why would you want to change gears?

[@olakinberg5412]

It's funny how much focus the half seat in the back gets in every review. This is a 2CV, a Renault 4, a Golf 1. This is for two people commuting, bringing people in the back once or twice as she said. And everybody keeps forgetting the best takeaway is the simple construction plus coming from Toyota, makes it very very very very very veeeeryyy reliable.

[@barriewilliams4526]

As an owner of an original Aygo I find the trend for larger & larger small cars somewhat self-defeating. I can often park my Aygo where larger cars just cannot fit, which is quite satisfying 😁Only yesterday I popped down to my local village shop & parked in the one remaining space, which happened to be between a Range Rover & a huge Ford Ranger Pickup Truck. On coming out of the shop I find the (rather large) guy unable to get into his Range Rover as the vehicle filled the space and there was not enough room to open the door wide enough for him to get in. The cars get bigger, but the parking spaces stay the same size.......

[@AutoSocialUK]

Yes, space is only getting tighter. Luckily the Aygo X is clearly bigger but still dinky compared to some cars

[@kingpuppet5881]

Agreed this is why I wantthe normal Aygo to, can park where most can't and still efficient and cute! Big cars are for massive car parks which, let's be real, are dying out.

[@comicmania2008]

Nice review, thank you. Just test drove and ordered my new Aygo X Edge this afternoon. My local dealer said I'll have it in September, more likely the end of September. So that's 8 or 9 weeks max hopefully! This car is a beautiful car to drive, looks great and feels fabulous. I wanted an automatic originally, but they didn't have an auto for me to test, but I was so impressed by the manual box the way it drove and looked, I bought it anyway! This is not a fast car, doesn't need to be, but my 30 miles ride this aft gave me 50 mpg and I wasn't even trying to drive economically with the thing. As long as it gets me and the missus around town, and takes us to Scarborough or Yarmouth and back on hols reasonably comfy, speed and acceleration doesn't matter, but it's not bad anyway! Never owned a Toyota before, looking forward to it.

[@andyhuggins1915]

Have had mine for a month and its a good car ,ive never had any problems with lack of power and i have just moved down from a 2.2 ltr Honda civic and before that a 2,8 ltr Jag . You made a good decision getting the manual ,i test drove the CVT auto and i hated it . Its VERY noisy when accelerating ,not so bad once you have achieved the desired speed . Enjoy your Aygo X when it arrives !.

[@MGman100]

I've bought one of these after having the previous model for three years. The back seat space is poor but the boot space is notably better. The whole package is way ahead of the previous car although I wish it had a bit more poke. Overall though, I'm very pleased.

I am picking mine up on Thursday this week. With automatic and the opening canvas roof … I think the overall look is very attractive for the current circumstances, and I wanted something small, replacing a Yaris hybrid. I am aware that I might find it slightly underpowered occasionally, but my motorway driving is relatively rare … and I did take it out on motorway for my test drive a couple of months ago … my main use case is in town / between local towns. This seems like a very fair review overall, and highlights the key points plus and minus quite nicely. If you have any interest in design etc. It might well appeal to you. And features / build quality / reliability will be very good, I am sure.

[@tonyhuntington]

I've just replaced my Yaris with the Aygo X it's more compacted and lacks the lower, but it us a much smaller engine I have the CTV automatic you feel it going up and down the gears but I'm getting used to that it is noise normal on smaller cars. I got 72mph in the Yaris and 48mph in the Aygo apart from that it's a great car around town superb

[@tonyb3629]

Great review, but words fail me. We're at an all-time low with car design - all manufacturers seem to do is take what they've done before, jack it up a bit, add some bigger wheels and plastic over the arches and instead of calling it an SUV, call it a crossover (which is really an SUV). This is the laziest form of creating a 'new' car. SUV's are no safer either - it's an illusion. Infact, due to higher center of gravity, are more prone to rolling.

[@Rapscallion2009]

its just a cheap way to up the price. Tack on some plastic, just up the suspension and call it an "activelifexcross" car. Hey, presto! - it's no longer a 15 grand hatchback, no no no. It's now a 20k "SUV Class" car. despite the lack of 4x4 or actually anything that would make it more expensive to make than the predecessor. It's all hogwash. Good if you have a bad back and can't get into lower cars, though.

[@susanb.1113]

Had mine three weeks now, can't fault it for my needs. 68 mpg average.

[@dreaminofthedrive5343]

The exterior looks very nice. And I like the fact the touch screen is in the dash, and not just stuck on top like a lot of other Toyota products. I also agree, it's sad that a lot of small cars and even sedans are being discontinued because people have gone SUV mad. I guess SUVs are safer these days. But I still see them flip over in accidents more, compared to lower to the ground style cars. Great review Tish.

[@AutoSocialUK]

Its all a placebo isn't it, SUV's are safe... when really most new cars are very safe nowadays

[@judithkelly2556]

It's actually a decent car we have had one for a few weeks now. Very smooth compared to the Aygo even though the engine needs a good thrash to get up hills it's giving 55 mpg and the height helps with curbs .

[@anthonystevens8683]

As a second car that could be for a new driver this makes perfect sense. A plug in hybrid or electric may give much better fuel economy but today when many households have more than one car I'm unsure how many would have a wall box or two. This is a fill up, switch on and go that as you mention should be cheap to insure and no worries if it doesn't get its turn at the wall box.

[@AutoSocialUK]

Yes, looking at it perfectly Anthony!

[@gravemind6536]

Its an awful car for anyone to drive. Its dangerously slow, handles like crap and feels like it wants to fall over. The best thing is the price of tyres on this car though £171 a tyre do you really think a new driver is going to want to spend £700 on a set of tyres.

[@DaveDVideoMaker]

Yes, I think the crossover SUV trend has gone nuts. And because of that trend, it’s killing off a lot of hatchbacks, sedans and station wagons. Not a fan of them. Another thing: the Toyota Aygo X is a European exclusive. South Africa used to get the Aygo, but it’s now replaced by the Ayga there. The Aygo was never sold in Japan, and the Aygo X isn’t gonna be sold in Japan.

[@raymondk2202]

What does it have to do with being sold in Africa or Japan or not? City bug sales have been through the roof compared to other cars, and the Aygo X still does very good in selling so apparently their doing something right.

[@DaveDVideoMaker]

@@raymondk2202 I just wanna talk about vehicles sold in other markets. Nothing wrong with that. Plus, the sales of A-segment vehicles are still high in Europe. Last year, Toyota sold over 86,000 Aygos, but I’m not a fan of the jacked up versions. I would instead get a used Aygo MK2.

[@gravemind6536]

[@kevinreid4439]

We recently traded our 2017 Aygo X-claim Limited Edition for an ex-demo Aygo Cross Limited Edition and absolutely love it ! The new Yaris felt too big for my wife from her Mark2 Yaris - but the chunky Aygo Cross is about the same size as the old Yaris and gives her added drive height as she is petite. The styling is fun and quirky and it comes pretty much loaded with the same safety features as my RAV4 Dynamic Premium - not least with the heated front seats for the winter commute to join the electric fun roof for the summer - perfect combo of nippy city car and cabriolet tourer for the myriad of single track roads here in Scotland😊

Those 1krfe engines can do150k miles and very easy to maintain/repair. Very comfy and quiet. These 1.0 are 69bhp not lacking in any way at all. Very torquey as well as long geared. This car is built for a purpose and it does it superbly

[@raphaelmahumane1648]

Judging from the comments, it seems some of us are not happy as this car does not tick all the boxes. As the owner of a 2016 model and first time owner, I feel like an Aygo is for a certain class of people, and designed for first time car owners, or city car, that you only use it for transport as an individual, from point A to point B your self or with your partner and 1 or 2 kids, 2 adults in front and 2 kids at the back without luggage's, or only 1 or 2 hand bags. If you want an Aygo for longer trips, power, performance, off road and other sophisticated applications, then you need to get another better car or a luxury SUV. That is my opinion. The new design gives you a bit of confidence and better boot space, the engine does not seem interesting since is the same old version, but if you want to save, you wont be complaining...hahaha!!! For longer trips, you just have to know what to do and what not to do, for example: do not overload the car, do not carry more than 1 adult as a passenger, understand your gears on a flat road, hill climb or downhill for fuel economy and better performance. One thing I can guarantee you is that if you abuse the clutch, you gonna have issues with clutch, and that will cost you more money replacing it. Talking from experience. I drove 760 km in one day from one state to another and that took me about 12 hours on the road with one refreshment stop, this thing out performed other good looking cars on road as long as it is in good condition, good service and not being overloaded, especially for long trips. I never had a breakdown even though I bought it in 2019 with 42 000 km on the clock as second hand, now it has 108 000 km being driven daily. I am sure this shows how good it is and it saves fuel.

Other reviews have stated that it's underpowered, our 108 struggles on hills. The lack of centre vents is a noticeable thing. I only hope that persistent boot leaks have finally been resolved. We'll probably go for an i10 or Picanto next, especially regarding the price.

[@alunhoskins4513]

I had a 2019 previous model Aygo. Absolutely brilliant little thing. I too wondered about the lack of centre vents when I first got it. Absolutely no problem at all, quite forgot the fact. The ventilation and aircon was superb, worked better in fact than on some larger cars I've had/got. The biggest surprise for me though was the 'low power' engine. It was great fun. One of those cars that felt 'quick' even though it wasn't, if that makes sense. (Great for the health of the licence) Loved to be revved and 'driven', very go-kart like. Quite ok on the motorway too at cruising speeds. The 3 cylinder engine sound actually became quite addictive, encouraged you to drive it hard whilst still returning good fuel consumption figures. Put me in mind of the traditional small engined Italian models of a few years ago. With one big difference though to the old Italian car; in 4 years of ownership I didn't get a single problem with it, not even teething troubles. That's the other big Toyota bonus it seems. I wouldn't buy one of these though. Why? Because the car WITHOUT the black section on the back end - which looks like a replacement panel after a bit of damage and hasn't yet been painted - is only available on the base model. Mid/top spec and you're stuck with it. Nothing to do with Toyota other than as a satisfied customer.

Stood next to this today in my local Toyota dealer. It's just a car, looks nice. But it isn't a crossover, and definitely isn't a mini! As for the power trains, I'd have to say they are deal breakers, unless you really do live somewhere where you don't have to go up any hills and won't be going over 40 mph. That drone of a lethargic engine really does begin to grind after a while. For twenty grand, it's just too much for what it is. If I decided to buy one, it would only be if I was prepared to do something to that engine and maybe even see if it's possible to fix AWD into it (GR Yaris-style). But what's the point? Might as well just go for one of the rivals mentioned.

PS. Why label them as first Cars, people want city cars for cheaper running costs. I e petrol insurance e.t.c. unfortunately the new Toyota Aygo x costs nearly the price of the Yaris. Is very expensive around 20k fully loaded. Doesn't work anylonger.

Good review Tish, do enjoy your reviews, think you did your best to big this car up, but am pretty sure most of us saw through it that you like us thought this is an expensive pretty yet Inpractical little car and not innovative in any way at all.

hmmm true but will still be perfect for the right person!

Great informative video :)

The Aygo clears the VW up every day of the week

[@AutoSocialUK]

Hmmm, I’m not so sure

[@Nolimitgang999]

@@AutoSocialUK don’t get me wrong VW up is super good city car but the Aygo has superior reliability and fuel economy (especially superior if shift at lower rpm) . I Know this 1st hand from my mother’s face lift 2012 Aygo. Toyota’s reliability and fuel efficiency is legendary 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

The ditched Cars are called the Peugeot 108 and the Citroën C1 not 106. You also you showed the photo of the Peugeot 108 when you mentioned the C1 and vice versa. The previous model was the Peugeot 107 which I had for 9 years great car.😀

[@athollmcnicoll1028]

No thanks Tish still prefer my Fiesta Active 0 to 62MPH in 8 seconds dead but it's getting on in age and might need a refresh, so with that in mind and no way I'm forking out for an EV - might consider the Yaris.

[@AutoSocialUK]

I think I agree with you there!

[@jamesbarnes8338]

0-62 in 8 secs dead? Downhill sure. Remapped or modified absolutely. 155ps in stock? Not unless it's some international market variant imbued with miracles.

Do you get any small Toyotas over there?

[@edisontrent5244]

@@AutoSocialUK The smallest Toyota standard car we get now is the corolla hatch. In general most manufacturers no longer sell compact sedans or hatches at all. Watching your videos are fun since we really do not have that much variety of models or manufacturers as you do. Now that Chrysler is part of Stellantis having some of the Citroens rebadged and imported would be great. Thank you for all the great content and your messages!

FORD k A lol. It was called the Ford KA here. I can not remember what exactly happened but a young mother had one and had her baby in the back and I think it was something fell on her car the baby sadly was killed. So ye it was not really a family car.

[@AutoSocialUK]

Lots of people saying that, I didn't know it was pronounced any other way

[@banzanbuddhist1451]

I always pronounce it Ford K A, it sounds ridiculous saying Ka, it's like saying car but without the r. Sounds much better saying K A. Infact everyone I have ever dealt with have always said K A.

Noone needs big cars as safety if cars are having electronic safety systems anyway so an all electrical common hughe suv is actually ridiculous.

No people want a bigger car than next door. It's a show off thing. They see a car that is suitable to them just not being show off enough. Notice a youngster tearing past you in his Corsa always has a Cap on. It's all a trait.

Are Toyota so deluded they think ice cars are the future ?

[@Rapscallion2009]

Not quite. They think there's still a market right now. If they believed it had a big future, this car would have a new engine. But it doesn't.

[@jamesbarnes8338]

The review reaches pretty hard to not criticise this car. Playing down the price tag. Making out the exposed metal bodywork in the interior isn't cost costing and cheapens the car and saying the engine is "still well suited to the car". If I said these things it'd be because Toyota gave me a thicc (with two cs) envelope. 😅

[@AutoSocialUK]

Bloody hell I wish 🥲 it’s just because I appreciate little cars like this, I drive an UP! GTi myself, so it’s familiar territory

[@jamesbarnes8338]

@@AutoSocialUK you proved my point. Little car. Big car price. you can spend less in this segment and get better economy, performance, build quality and interior space for less money. This car represents the same market as the traditional juke targets. Buyers who overlook or are plain ignorant to the extensive list of shortcomings but buy only on the looks. Saying that, that's even very subjective as this and the juke especially look pretty bad but some may think these look good and will 'upgrade' instinctively.
