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), the second-generation model, is a compact, efficient, and reliable city car designed to compete with rivals such as the Fiat 500, Volkswagen Up, and Skoda Citigo. It retains 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-door and five-door versions (later slimmed to five-door only), the Aygo offers decent front space but cramped rear seating as a strict four-seater. Boot space is limited at 168 litres with a high loading lip, though the interior is straightforward and well laid out with optional colour-coded inserts adding appeal.

Powered by a single 1.0-litre, three-cylinder petrol engine producing 68bhp (later increased to 71bhp), the Aygo accelerates from 0-62mph in around 14 seconds with a top speed of 99mph. It averages more than 60mpg claimed, easily returning over 50mpg in real-world driving. An automated manual transmission is available, though the manual remains more popular with its light clutch and easy shift action. Around town, the Aygo excels with excellent manoeuvrability and comfort, but struggles at higher speeds where the engine becomes noisy and strained. Running costs are exceptionally low, with no VED for pre-April 2017 models, inexpensive servicing around £145, and small, affordable tyres. The timing chain engine eliminates costly belt replacement concerns. In 2024, CarGurus named the Aygo the best used car for new drivers.

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

Not ideal for: Drivers requiring frequent motorway travel, those seeking premium interior quality, or buyers needing a larger boot and five-seat capacity.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

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

Consider alternatives if: You require frequent motorway travel, seek premium interior quality, or need a larger boot and five-seat capacity.

Competitive Position: The Toyota Aygo (2014-2022) is a strong contender in the city car market, offering outstanding reliability, exceptional running costs, and ease of use. Whilst it may not match rivals like the Volkswagen Up for premium feel or the Hyundai i10 for expert rating, its Toyota badge, proven durability, and affordability make it an excellent choice for budget-conscious buyers and new drivers. The Aygo excels in urban environments but is less suited to frequent motorway use compared to some competitors.
