Toyota Aygo X Review - the best small car?

- Say hello to the new Toyota Aygo X!
Toyota’s beefed up its entry-level offering, and it’s now one of the smallest crossover SUVs you can buy! But is it really worth it?
Well, let’s check out the design. It’s clear to see it’s increased in size compared to the previous edition, having grown slightly wider, longer and taller! It also comes in a pretty fetching two-tone paint, and if you’re willing to splash the cash, you can ever get it with a canvas folding roof!
On the inside, it’s clear that this is Toyota’s entry-level car. There’s scratchy plastic found throughout the cabin, apart from on the areas you’ll touch often, such as the steering wheel and gear stick. The infotainment screen ranges between 7 - 9 inches, and the graphics are suitable for a car of this size. Thankfully Android Auto & Apple CarPlay are both available.
Where the Aygo X is really let down is the engine. There’s only one available, a 1-litre 3 cylinder that produces an almighty 72hp.
The Aygo X starts from just £16,000, so should you choose it over competitors such as the SEAT Ibiza or Hyundai i10? Stick with Mat to see for yourself!

Holy moly 🤣
Those cinematic shots during the launch to 60 were lit🔥
I was about to comment exactly that
I like this addition to detail, keep 'em, coming!
Vin Diesel aproves!
Wow, what a pathetic life you must live
I thought I was watching the fast and furious movie for a second.
I love when Mat reviews inexpensive cars. He looks so lively.
The problem is that this car is not actually inexpensive, at least in Europe. It's around the price of a hyundai i10, suzuki swift, vw polo or seat ibiza, while falling behind all those in MANY departments especially overall quality
Yeah charity makes honest people happy. : )))))
@@azenyr it is inexpensive but you could buy a golf r/ Leon cupra for the same price so not what I would spend my money on
@@azenyr this car is pure garbage 😭
This car is expensive.
My mom used to drive a 2011 Peugeot 107 and then a 2014 Peugeot 108 because she works in a Peugeot dealer in Portugal, and both cars were the rebadge of the 1st and 2nd generations of the Aygo, and I fell in love with both of them. I'm actually sad that Peugeot and Citroën stopped producing their version of the car, but I'm glad to see that the whole DNA of the previous generations is still there. Good work Toyota
I had a 2019 version of the previous model. Needless to say it was faultless right from the start, no teething troubles and no others either. The back seats were permanently down, the space filled with a couple of old duvets and it became the car for transport of our two dogs - a Terrier and a pet Greyhound. They had masses of room to stretch out. Those old style flip out windows , along with the privacy glass, were absolutely ideal for the dogs.
The best bit though? It was just like driving a proper small engined, small Italian car. (With decent build quality thrown in) Needed to be worked with the gears, and taken to the max with the revs but that little 3 cylinder engine is actually great. Not going fast had never felt…so fast. Great on the twisty stuff.
Complete fun, completely faultless and actually comfy…I’m 6ft tall.
Add to that the masses of safety Builth into the car…it’s a winner.
I love the editing on the 0-60 😂😂
I thought it was 1/4 mile, and then I realized it was 0-60. Nearly fell out of my chair.
I love my Aygo, it’s literally like owning a go cart with a body shell 😂
Kart
just dont think it ll handle a crash like normal cars .... it sounded soooo thin
@@mehdiremidi8632 Well it doesn't go fast enough for a crash to be dangerous lol
@@dieselscartalk4146 omg bruh hell nah
@@mehdiremidi8632 If it weren't safe enough it wouldn't be on the road.
I do love a little economical car, and it was a treat seeing this one in a manual transmission. We have even less of them in North America. Thanks for throwing it into some corners for us, Mat!
Americans would probably be better drivers if they started their driving careers in cars like these.
It's a great budget option! It's awesome how you balance out these reviews with high end cars and low end! Was so cool to watch. Thanks Matt!!
Must have to have an IQ of 12 to buy a crossover that doesn't have 4 wheel drive. Just buy the normal cheaper AYGO
Oh it's budget alright... I am so surprised Toyota would still let their name be attached to it.
@@aussie2uGA Oh no! Toyota, an economy car manufacturer, made an economy car.
@@kjm3672 Sorry, you have that confused with Scion, the budget Toyota. This should be a Chinese car given the low quality.
I rented an Aygo on holiday. No power but was great fun on windy roads. You have to carry the speed into the corner.
Mat even says 'Yaris Cross' instead of 'Aygo Cross' at 14:02 :D
Haha :D
Haha yes
Halal
I thought I miss heard that Yaris
@@TheSuperBoyProject meat
That cinematic gear shifting was 🔥
Fast and furious uh..
the old aygo is one of the most economical car i have driven. they really making a good job on this, on long trips i averaged about 4.0 l/100 km. and imo a fun car to drive, its just so small 😂
16:50 gave fast and furious vibes love it 🔥
cus he used a sound pack from 2 fast 2 furious
specifically from the scene where brian drives to the race from his house boat at the start
I brought this car for my daily driver and fell in love how easy this car to drive around London and across UK very good. also a reliability is why i choose this car 👍
Camry TRD would have been a better choice imo
@@TonyStark-wr7ob
The Camry (TRD or not) is gigantic in comparison to an Aygo and not as practical for People driving and parking in European Cities, so i don't understand your Comparison nor why it would have been a better Choice for someone who looks for a Car comparable to an Aygo.
An Opel Adam would be comparable just to name one
I’m sorry lol. This is almost $20k in the US. Pile of crap for that kind of money. To say anyone is going to keep this pile of crap for 10 years, let alone 5, to take advantage of its warranty, is hilarious. My MK7 GYO cost me $23k brand new in 2017, and it’s WORLDS BETTER, and only cost me $4k more than this pile of crap lol

@@chartreux1532 I did say imo
It is kinda Crazy that even after spending 80k pounds on a porsche , Lane keeping assist isn’t standard while it is standard on an Aygo now
Ancient Finnish wisdom; the Germans make you pay extra for everything except the tires and steering wheel
@@piuthemagicman Unfortunately it's true
Even though the aygo has a lot to be desired compared to other modern new cars, that little 3 cylinder engine is bomb proof. Im still thrashing a 2008 aygo with 170K miles on the clock and its never had a peep of an issue.
I love my Aygo X…great little small car for short runs…we use it as our second car…it’s fun driving through London roads..easy to park and economical…
it's actually a good first car for beginners, the size is good for parallel parking and it looks amazing 👌
I have this car and I also have a GLB. I thoroughly enjoy driving the Aygo X and it has very good handling and an excellent adaptive cruise control the lane assist is also very accurate and firm.
That 0-60 section was 🔥
Give the editor of the video a raise, haven't laughed that hard in a while while hearing an RB26 in an Aygo X
I've never heard of this vehicle until now. Thank you, Mat. It's always entertaining to watch you review.

How’s the rent in that cave your living in
@@user-kn4gx5ih7m I haven't either...well until like a day or 2 ago....but I am an American and it isn't sold in the U.S.
What I love about the Aygo X are the driving characteristics. It feels like driving a Yaris (minus the engine) which is a really huge upgrade compared to the previous Aygo. This justifies at least a part of the higher price.
Makes sense, Peugeot/Citroën didn't continue the Aygo/108/C1 line so this new Aygo had to be based on the current Yaris instead

It is such an upgrade!
Is it rly?i have an ab1 aygo from 2013 and it feels rly good when driving,even quicker ,you have to rev it out,to get the most of it,but its so much fun around corners,idk why ,as for city driving it s really good,confortable,and with the aftermarket exhauste i put on it makes it roars😂😂😂(you still hear the engine trough the cabin tho)
Ffs buy the Yaris. The price difference is insignificant compared to the upgrade. The Aygo is to expinsive for what it is.
- Toyota salesman.
This Toyota is like conceptualizing the look and feel of a car and wrapped it around their reliability record. No power, no space, nothing fancy other than a roof that goes BRRR....
This makes me happy. My 2017 VW UP now has modern, up--to-date functionalities and characteristics!
3:08, the way he did the thing with gear knob, 👁️👄👁️, that's not the only knob...
I love this car. Looks so cute and compact.
I’m glad that little Daihatsu 1KR-FE engine is still soldiering on, although the 4cyl 1.3 adds some much needed pep.
Wasn’t really designed for use in something that big.
Mat's gear change when launching was so cool! lol 😂
I've owned my Aygo X about 15 weeks now, and love it, it's turning out to be good value for money imho! Been getting around 56MPG average, but as good as 62MPG on E5. E10 petrol not so good, knock 4 or 5 MPG off if you're gonna use cheapskate juice! I do find it a little noisy at 70mph, but it's bearable. It's comfy, it's cosy in hot and cold weather, great active cruise, lane assist and rear reversing camera. I bought a spare wheel /space saver kit for mine, from Toyota at just £145, but you do lose some boot space then though! I never carry rear passengers, so no issue to me, there's plenty of space in the front though!
I have also added the spare wheel, and mudflaps which really improved the appearance from the rear.
We need more cars like this!!! Back to basics!amazingly, quirky, fantastic looking, and the roof is mind-blowingly cute !!! ❤️
It isn't back to basics its filled with electronic crap you don't want nor need in this segment of car. All annoying interfering driver aids and its incredibly expesnive for what it is and drive like a sack of shit. Car wants to tip over in corners and is only prevented from doing so by having a really stiff suspension, tyres are also £150+ a pop due to the weird size wheels. This is not a back to basics cheap to run and maintain car any more.
I like back to basic cars but not THIS back to basic lol
@@gravemind6536Any descent 18 tyre is 150 a pop so whats your point?
@@GG-ml3vr My point is that on a basic economy car thats suppossed to be cheap to maintain expensive 18 inch tyres are a massive contradiction.
@@gravemind6536 They look great though😀 i test drove one today(for my mum)ragged the arse off it and ok whilst it was woefully slow at no point felt like it would "tip over"and also felt like a well built wee motor,each to their own i suppose🤷♂️
Completely love mine (entry level). On some longer runs I've had 70mpg.....but rarely 70mph....
Love mine too (Exclusive model) but a bit lacking ie no sunroof or heated seats
I like this addition to detail, keep 'em, coming! 16:50
I just love how you have to explain its name and how it should be named
Love my Aygo X - Great for the local Pembrokeshire roads!
3:08 you know someone's gonna make a GIF of that stroking action
Great video! I wanted it when I saw it. Now I think I'm gonna stick to my old open roof Ford Ka, and save a ton of money. Besides having more space in the back. 😄
Come on Matt, 53 MPG and you had to know it wasn't going to be a speed-demon. Great little Eco car.
Might not be the greatest car for the US but for Europe man Toyota nailed it
I own an Aygo and I love it. It’s a cheap car, and cheaply made yes, but damn if it isn’t reliable. It’s a Toyota after all.
In 10 years of having it I only had one major issue with it (automatic gearbox replacement).
Nice review
16:57 I just died of laughter during the launch 😂😂
i love the gear change editing
Great video!
I was hoping for the day when I could see the new 108.

I have this car. I like it. But every time I turn it on I turn OFF the ‘stop start’ technology and the weird lane assist, and I don’t like the constant beeping of the pre collision detection which you can turn down but not off! The car isn’t quick by any means, but it’s comfortable to drive and sits at 70 with ease. It’s nice to drive. The air vents should move in two directions not 1, and there should be middle dash vents. You only get the side vents. Demisting is quite quick. Petrol consumption is good. 👍
14:04 “little Yaris cross” 🤣🤣
It is really beautiful in form! The price is also OK. The main drawback is in my opinion the weak engine.
emissions,the Jimny was dropped because of that.
Its not lacking in normal driving and will still move if you rev it
Hey Mat, just a quick suggestion: reveal the manufacturer's 0-60 time AFTER you've done your run. It'd make things exciting as we could make predictions and then compare the actual result and the official stat. Anyway, great review, don't know why I'm watching this if I'd never buy such a car lol.
Sorry. Not sure I agree, I like to know the Manafactures time beforehand, usually Mat beats it!
Nah, it's way more fun knowing the manufacturers time and seeing whether Mat can beat it.
God if that excites you , get out more
Exciting??????? WTF
I appreciate this honestly
Happy New Year Matt, I saw online that this car you’ve just reviewed you spoke about the windows not going down with one press, I saw a hack online you have to hold the button down for five seconds and then when you use it and you want it down press it once and it works try it mate it work for me on a Suzuki splash.
As a small car lover, can't stop thinking about a GR Yaris engine swap. That would be a super car.
Carwow reviews, drag races and videos are the best with Mat and Yianni in drag races!
For sure👍
That’s one explosive suitcase 👀 Lol, that bit surprised me 😁
Top choice of podcast there Mat ;)
Besides the brand, I can not find one single reason anyone would chose this over the Kia Picanto or Hyundai i10...
aygo better for ur second car not ur first
I had a sunroof like that on a 1972 Triumph 2000 Mk2 saloon and it was brilliant. More manufacturers should offer them.
Webasto
The load cover was also originally designed to reduce noise in the cabin, so these flimsy nets aren't going to cut it.
This is such a cool car. Wish we had it in North America
Wow you got me to watch an Aygo review. You got me there matt
The plastic body cover may not just be for show: it may help to avoid rust in the long run (just a thought).
It's obviously to safe money bro don't fall into the PR
@@samirav1137 save....but you are 100% on the money
@@fortheloveofnoise9298 cheers bro
Plastic sill covers are the worst. They just trap all the dirt. Your sill rots without you realising.
All that plastic will look faded in 10 years. Not a good look
Nice review, it looks interesting even though it is too small but it has big wheels. thanks Mat and i really wait your review about new Toyota Corolla Cros.

Matt was like from the movie fast and furious car chasing scene 😂😂
The new Toyota Aygo X is such a cute and lovely looking car!
Are you blind🙄
OMG I LOOOOVED THE EDITING on the 0-60 part!
I used to work at a Toyota, it’s worth mentioning that the 10 years warranty still has the 100k threshold so once you’re over that, no warranty
I love your car reviews, awesome work. It would be very nice to see the fuel economy in L/100km (litres per 100 kilometers) so everyone can understand and not have to google it in the middle of the video.
around 4L/100km. Average after 4000 kilometres in the highlands
I like the lower end car reviews....seems they have much more personality, and hopefully 4X4. This one was spiffy though !
That fabric roof is 🔥🔥🔥🔥
It’s a cool looking little car
I've bought a new first generation Aygo and owned it for 7 years. I enjoyed the fact that it was made to be cheap to maintain... every screw was visible, you could disassemble seats and panels and probably the entire box with a set of cheap tools in record times...
The current generation is more mainstream and I bought a Smart car in stead... I would buy an IQ if they would still make them, or a Cygnet
Some days you review the new 911, other days it's the Aygox
Such is life
I loved my 1st gen Aygo and I still have a soft spot for them. I'm a little "cross" that they aren't sold where I live now.
The first Aygo was cheap motoring for a cheap price. This new one is cheap motoring for a premium price!!!
Love the editing they did when Mat launched the car😂
14:03 Mat's only gone and said "Yaris" Cross.
Mat finally called the Aygo a Yaris at the Dual carriage way 😄
The original 05-14 Aygo was fantastic because it was so cheap and did what it said on the tin. You got no luxuries, not even a glove box but this was reflected in the price. If you just wanted a reliable car that got you and your shopping from A to B, the aygo was the motor to go for. The Aygo X has completely lost sight of this and doesn't really seem to have any purpose or USP. It's a shame really, they took a great original concept and messed with it so much that it now doesn't perform well in any area. The three cylinder engine is gutless but it sounds pretty decent if you keep the revs up
Its the same engine from the original model but due to all the extra weight and height and especially unsprung mass its incredibly slow and painful to try and get moving. New tyres are those ridiculous wheels cost £150+ a pop and it drives awful compared to the old shape it feels like it wants to fall over in the corners and the suspension is stiff to try and compensate for the ridiculous proportions of the car.
You can only love the little Aygo
Mat said “Yaris cross” at 14:04 😂😂
At least it's not electric 👍

@@snakeeyes9246 that's why the climate "experts" elites keep buying yachts.. nevermind those beach front properties... rising sea levels will avoid those lol
Crazy to get all the safety systems as standard 🤯
Yes, it must be a huge advantage in this class of cars. My 11 years old 4th gen Lexus GS 450h was very expensive with these options and I pretty sure they work even better in this Aygo X
Unnecessary though. Takes away the fun from driving :D
@@xXAlmdudlerXx how does an emergency braking system and adaptive cruise control take away fun from driving a 1.0 3cyl car?
@@xXAlmdudlerXxhow does collision assist take away from the joy of driving
Mandatory because of regulations, also one of the reasons Toyota only made a cross version... to justify the huge price hike from the previous gen.
Nice promo for the Intercooler podcast!
the 0-60 lauch editing reminded me of the Fast and Furious films, and pretty much any Hollywood car chase sequence. Lots of gear changes and pedal presses 😂
One of the coolest designed engine cover shapes i gotta say
Matt, please take it easy on the steering wheel 😂😂
I have the Aygo X Pure model and it is a fantastic little car
EVERYONE knew where the 0-60 sounds were from and I love it.
Czech here...Škoda is pronounced exactly as you said first time not the second British version. Basically in Czech language everything is pronounced same way as it's written 😉 on the other hand, I totally understand that it would be silly to want pronounce things differently in different countries but just to keep it right, the first version is correct.
@@_Messag_me_mr_car_wow aye right

After watching several of his videos, I first thought his humor was a little over the top but it has really grown on me. I was literally laughing out loud in real life when the roof opened and he went "it even comes with a man operating it" and then continues to throw away his hat lol.
I have an Aygo X and while the engine is kinda laughable, I'm not really in a hurry. With good tyres you are doing 3,7l/100km at speeds of 100km/h. (with bad tyres that will be 5l sadly). It's probably the most eco you'll ever get out of a purely petrol car. (mine is a CVT automatic).
From the back it looks like a fat duck or something, but I really like how the car looks head on and from the sides. And it indeed turns around on a dime, comes with all the security stuff and reversing camera and actually fits surprisingly much of the stuff I actually need to fit in a car on a weekly basis (doing music/band stuff). I've really loved this year I've had it, but it's a leasing car so now I'm switching to a Yaris Cross hybrid. But the Aygo X sold me on modern toyotas.
Octavia is latin and is therefore not pronounced like octave.
Mat's now just like 'bring the review cars to my new manor house you peasants'. My man's too important to commute 😂
I did my license on an aygo so this feels special for some reason.
Love the suitcase explosion 😂😂😂
Aww I had a Polo Open Air sometime around 2000. Ragtop roofs are great.
Amazing “Vantablack” jacket Matt!
Reliability is the true luxury
I love pop out rear windows. Proper retro.
