The city car’s redesign includes more than just the magenta paint job and a redesigned front fascia.
For 2018, the Japanese member of the Citroen 108 / Toyota Aygo trio will see some minor tweaks, nearly four years after its debut. While the A-segment car still features the “X”, the front fascia has undergone some modifications and now looks a little more sophisticated.
These slightly modified headlights, which Toyota calls a “Keen look”, have LED daytime running lamps with new graphics and come equipped with LED daytime running lamps. You can choose from black, silver or glossy black for the trim under the headlights, while the lower portion of the front grille has been discreetly modified.
The Aygo’s side profile is almost identical to the one before. However, the outer lenses of its taillights have been modified to match the new design of the headlights. New are the LED daytime running lights signature on the taillights, 15-inch alloy wheels, and Magenta and Blue paints.
Toyota has added more seats fabrics to the cabin and a new color scheme. There is also a revised illumination color. The Aygo has a lower level of noise, vibration and harshness (NVH), which is more noticeable to the naked eye. It should also be more comfortable than it was before.
Engineers have modified the 1.0-liter three-cylinder engine to comply with Euro 6.2 standards. The engine produces 72 horsepower (53kW) at 6,000 RPM and a maximum torque output of 69 lb (93 Newton-meters). It can run from 4,400 to 62 mph (13.8 sec) and reach speeds of 100 mph (163 kph). 2018 also saw the introduction of a dual fuel injector system and cooled exhaust gas recycling (EGR) to improve the cabin’s refinement.
The Eco version of Aygo is more economical. Fourth and fifth gears are longer for lower fuel consumption. This can also be achieved by aero tweaks, including installing low rolling resistance tires and the start/stop system.
The 2018 Toyota Aygo will be at the Geneva Motor Show next week. It will continue to carry the x play and xclusiv trims, as well as the xcite and x trend special editions that will be offered every so often.
