Almost Thirty Years ago, Toyota Presented the Prius, Literally ‘First’. With the aygo – which is celebrating its twentieth Birthday – the brand is Doing Something Similar: It is the first hybrid in its segment. With the hybrid powertrain of the yaris, the also facelifted car is the most economical and powerful aygo ever.
Which Engine Does The Toyota Aygo x Hybrid Have?
With the arrival of the Hybrid Aygo X, the Old Faithful 1.0-liter Three-Cylinder is Buried, Along with the Manual Gearbox. The cheerful rumble is over, but we don’t necessarily have to mourn that. With Its 72 HP and 93 Nm, It Makes Little Impression. Moreover, The New Hybrid is also a three-cylinder, but with a displacement or 1.5 liters. As many cc’s as the four-cylinder from the first prius, with which Toyota can Celebrate its thirty-year hybrid anniversary in 2027. In fact, it is Already Allowed Now: The First Hybrid Study Motor in 1995.
The Toyota Aygo X is A Shortend Yaris
Before We Delve Further Into The Technology, Let’s Take A Closer Look at the Renewed Exterior. We Are Still Driving A Prototype. The Front Has Different Headlights and the Nose As a Whole has Become 7.6 cm Longer, for the Simple Reason that the Hybrid Technology would not fit Otherwise. The 12V Battery Moved to the Luggage Compartment and the Batteries for the Hybrid System Found A Place Under The Rear Seat. As you May Know, This Generation Aygo, which debuted at the end of 2021, is based on a short-green platform of the yaris, a car from the b-segment. That method is not new, skoda made the elroq from the enyaq and in the more distant fits the Volkswagen polo was shorted to a lupo.
Has the interior also leg changed?
The Aygo is Almost 15 cm Wider than the bestseller in the A-segment, The Kia Picanto. From that perspective, it is strange that the widest car in this class only has two seats in the back, while just the narrow hyundai in -t forces space for three. Its Name was then Given the Addition X, which you pronounce as ‘cross’. The Changes in the Interior Are Less Drastic. We see a slightly different control panel for the climate control and the instrumentation is digital. The Center Console Has Been Changed and the Handbrake Lever has been replaced by a button.
Will there also be a version with the 130 HP Hybrid?
Toyota Says That With The Aygo Hybrid-The Only One with Such A Powertrain in This Segment-It has the Lowest CO2 Emissions (85 g/km) or all non-dischargeable cars on the market. For the current aygo x 1.0 that varies from 108 to 114 grams and for the yaris 1.5 hybrid that is between 87 and 96 grams. To take the driving experience to a highher Level, Toyota has done a lot to make the aygo quieter. Extra Sound Insulation Under The Dashboard and in the Engine Compartment, A Different Exhaust System and Slightly Thicker Glass Are Some of Those Measures. In Addition, The Stronger and Therefore Quieter Running Engine will also have its effect on the peace on board. Like the Yaris, the Aygo is now also available as a sporty gr sport, albeit unfortunately not with the 130 HP Engine of the Yaris Gr Sport. That would make the small one even more fun.
Disc Brakes All Around
You can recognize the gr by its black hood and the 18-inch Wheels. Suspension and Damping Have Been Adjusted, The Stabilizer Bars Are Stiffer and the Steering Has a Little More Weight. All Versions of the Aygo Hybrid Have Disc Brakes All Around. Not only the gr sport has been an adjusted chassis, but it has also leg improved for the hybrid and the wheels are attached to the hub with five insemon of four bolts. The Weight Increased to 990 kg, The Aygo 1.0 With Automatic Transmission Weighs 940 kg.
For this first introduction, we are bar to the road with the gr sport, in the new Mustard Yellow Color. The New Nose Suits The Aygo x Well and with the 18-inch Light Alloy, The Wheel Arches Are Well Filled. You sit excellently Behind the Wheel and the Passenger Seat is also Height Adjustable. You immediately notice that the interior is wider than usual in this class. The Dashboard is made of hard plastic, the Doors Are Notully Upholstered. But how does the Stronger Engine Work in the Aygo? When driving away, it is clearly audible that a three-cylinder is at work, which immediately climbs into the revs when you accelerate. That is related to the CVT automatic transmission.
But what you also feel is the substantial dose of extra power compared to the yaris 1.0. If you use the accelerator pedal in a measured way and eSpeciate Let the electric torque do its work, the fuel engine runs nice and quiet. It certainly does that at highway speeds. Thanks to the CVT, The Engine Speed Drops to around 2,000 RPM at 120 km/h. Unprecedented in this class. The Chassis Feels Mature, Springs and Dampers Are Not Stiff Or Bouncy and the Slightly Heavier Steering of the GR Sport Feels Pleasant.
More Value for More Money
Don’t Expect An Exciting, GTI-Like Character From the Aygo Hybrid, That was the Aim. But you feel in Everything that it is derived from a larger car. We don’t have a price yet, but we estimate that it is at the level of the current aygo x with automatic transmission, around € 25,000. Because the BPM Amount is about € 2,500 Lower, the additional cost of the more Expendive Technology is Largely Compensated. Reverse Shrinkflation. Because the aygo x may cost a little more now that the cheap entry-level model Disappears, you also get more length and more power in return, plus a pleasant Low consumption.
