Toyota Aygo (2014-2022) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Excellent reliability, as you'd expect of a Toyota	Noisy on the motorway
Very economical to fuel and inexpensive to run	So-so Euro NCAP safety rating
Easy to drive and park	Small boot, even for a city car

Quick Summary

The Toyota Aygo (2014-2022) is a compact, efficient, and reliable city car designed for urban driving and short commutes. This second-generation model retained the strengths of its predecessor, including its compact footprint and low running costs, whilst adding more playful exterior styling and modern features. Available in three and five-door versions (later five-door only), the Aygo shares its underpinnings with the Citroën C1 and Peugeot 108. It offers a four-seater configuration with 168 litres of boot space, though access is limited by a high loading lip. The interior is straightforward and well laid out, with optional colour-coded inserts adding visual appeal.

Powered by a single 1.0-litre, three-cylinder petrol engine producing 68bhp (later 71bhp), the Aygo accelerates from 0-62mph in around 14 seconds and averages more than 60mpg, easily returning over 50mpg in real-world driving. An automated manual transmission is available, though the manual gearbox with its light clutch and easy shift is more popular. The Aygo excels in town, proving extremely easy to manoeuvre, but struggles on motorways where the engine becomes noisy and strained. Running costs are exceptionally low, with no VED for pre-April 2017 models, inexpensive servicing at around £145, and small, affordable tyres. The timing chain engine eliminates costly belt replacement concerns. Toyota's excellent reliability and long warranty make this an outstanding choice for budget-conscious buyers prioritising dependability over driving dynamics.

Best for: Budget-conscious buyers, new drivers, urban commuters, and those prioritising reliability and low running costs over motorway performance.

Not ideal for: Drivers requiring frequent motorway travel, those seeking premium badge appeal, or buyers needing a spacious boot and rear legroom.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Aygo if: You're a budget-conscious buyer, new driver, urban commuter, or prioritise reliability and low running costs over motorway performance.

Consider alternatives if: You require frequent motorway travel, seek premium badge appeal, or need a spacious boot and rear legroom.

Competitive Position: The Toyota Aygo (2014-2022) is a strong contender in the city car market, offering exceptional reliability, outstanding running costs, and ease of use in urban environments. Whilst rivals like the Hyundai i10 and Volkswagen Up offer superior driving dynamics and premium feel, the Aygo's Toyota reliability, low maintenance costs, and excellent value as a used car make it an outstanding choice for budget-conscious buyers and new drivers. The Kia Picanto provides similar practicality, but the Aygo's proven dependability and lower running costs give it a clear advantage for those prioritising long-term ownership costs.
