Unlike its French brothers and rivals, the current Toyota Aygo is a real hit on European market with more than 70.000 units sold since last summer.
To add to this success, Toyota introduced a new special edition Aygo, called x-Cite and dressed in a Cyan Splash exterior combined with piano black inserts for the frontal “X” graphic and rear bumper insert. The front fender garnish and side mirrors are finished also in Bold Black, while the 15 inch five-spoke alloys are finished in Glossy Black and come with Cyan Splash coloured centre caps. Clients can also opt for blacked out roof and A-pillars for an even more distinctive and dynamic appearance.
For the inside, the designers used Cyan Splash finish for the air vent inserts, and Bold Black inserts for the instrument panel, centre console and gear lever surround. The gearshift knob and the inside door handles are finished in chrome.
As most of recent Toyota models, like the Auris and Avensis, the new Aygo can now also be equipped with ‘Toyota Safety Sense’, a newly developed set of active safety technologies designed to help prevent or mitigate collisions across a wide range of traffic situations.
Under the hood we have a three cylinder, 1.0 litre VVT-i petrol engine which is Euro 6 compliant. The power unit delivers class-leading fuel economy of just 3.8 l/100 km and CO2 emissions of only 88 g/km. It can be had with a manual transmission or ‘x-shift’ automated manual transmission.
New AYGO x-cite will be available across Europe from June 2015.
