Toyota Aygo X
The segment of the smallest vehicles is gradually dying out, at the expense of a class of larger cars. This was most recently felt by the Toyota factory in Cologne in Central Bohemia, which stopped producing mini-cars in cooperation with Peugeot and Citroën. While the 108 and C1 are a thing of the past, the Toyota Aygo has been given a successor. His new name is Aygo X, read cross, and he has a lot in common with the bigger Yaris.
Basically, it is a reduced variant, for example, the platform is the same, only adapted to smaller dimensions. The Aygo X is 3.7 meters long and 2.43 meters between the axles, which is significantly more than its predecessor. The trunk also increased to 231, after folding the rear seats even 829 liters. The SUV concept of the whole car, in addition to the larger wheels (there are basically steel seventeen with covers, there are also an inch larger rims among the surcharges) and the overall more robust look is complemented by 55 mm higher seat positions. Overall, according to the carmaker, the cabin should be more airy.
Yaris helps his smaller sibling even under the hood, as he lends him its three-liter three-cylinder VVT-i petrol engine with an output of 53 kW. It’s no fast, it accelerates from 0 to 100 km / h in 15.6 seconds, but according to the carmaker, it can drive in 4.7 l / 100 km. The engine is combined with a five-speed manual transmission or a continuously variable automatic transmission (S-CVT), again derived from the Yaris system, but at the same time lighter and more compact overall. The machine reduces the time needed to accelerate by a tenth, but raises the average consumption by two tenths.
Another engine is not offered and the same is true for the five-door body. The former model with three doors has been out of the offer some time ago and will not return. However, you can pay extra for the middle canvas part of the roof, with the two highest equipment, this solution costs 26 thousand crowns, but it also entails the need for additional surcharges. The cab then always contains a touch screen, depending on the equipment, only its size differs, and there will always be a smaller four-inch display in the instrument panel.
