Toyota Aygo X (2022-2026) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Lots of standard equipment	A little short of power
Impressive fuel economy	Quite pricey
Decent space given its compact dimensions	Not that much fun to drive

Quick Summary

The Toyota Aygo X (2022-2026) is a characterful city car that breaks the mould of its predecessors by adopting a funky, SUV-inspired design. Built on a joint platform with Peugeot and Citroën, this third-generation Aygo forges its own path as a pint-sized crossover. Powered by a naturally aspirated 1.0-litre three-cylinder petrol engine producing 71bhp, it remains front-wheel drive only. Despite its compact 3,700mm length, it offers impressive practicality with 231 litres of boot space, expanding to 829 litres with rear seats folded, plus room for four occupants. The Aygo X stands out in its class for generous standard equipment, including lane-keep assist, adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, and a touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Running costs are a genuine strength, with fuel economy consistently exceeding 50mpg and official figures of 58.9mpg achievable with the manual gearbox. Insurance groups are typically low, making it affordable for younger drivers. However, the naturally aspirated engine requires hard work on faster roads, and performance feels leisurely with a 0-62mph time of 14.9 seconds. The ride is composed despite the short wheelbase, though the firm suspension doesn't always handle potholes brilliantly. Pricing is relatively high for a city car, with top-spec models approaching supermini territory. This generation was replaced in 2026 by an updated hybrid automatic version, offering more power and better drivability at an even higher price point.

Best for: Budget-conscious buyers seeking a characterful city car with impressive standard equipment, excellent fuel economy, and low running costs; those valuing practicality and Toyota's warranty over driving excitement.

Not ideal for: Drivers prioritising performance or engaging handling, those needing more powerful acceleration, or buyers seeking the lowest possible purchase price in the city car segment.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Aygo X if: You value distinctive character, impressive standard equipment, and excellent fuel economy; you prioritise practicality and low running costs over driving excitement; or you appreciate Toyota's warranty and reliability reputation.

Consider alternatives if: You need more performance and engaging handling, require the lowest possible purchase price, or prefer a more conventional city car design.

Competitive Position: The Toyota Aygo X occupies a unique position in the city car market with its funky SUV-inspired styling and generous standard equipment. Whilst it trails rivals like the Hyundai i10 and Kia Picanto in expert ratings and overall appeal, it offers distinctive character and impressive practicality for its size. The Fiat Grande Panda provides better value, whilst the Hyundai i10 delivers superior performance and handling. However, for buyers seeking a characterful, well-equipped city car with Toyota's reputation for reliability and warranty coverage, the Aygo X remains a sensible and appealing choice, particularly on the used market where prices are more competitive.
