Driven: 2022 Toyota Aygo X Is A City Car With Altitude | Carscoops carscoops
60 MPG Combined WLTP That’s all they do though. The X has no real go-anywhere credibility. Beneath the crossover dressing it’s an ordinary front-wheel drive micro-hatch whose fractionally taller ride height gives you a little extra visibility from the driver’s seat.There’s no all-wheel drive option available to Aygo X buyers and the only engine is a 1.0-liter naturally aspirated triplewith no hybrid assistance whatsoever, and which makes a tiny 71 hp and 69 lb-ft of torque.
Long intermediate gears killed much of the potential zip in the five-speed manual car we drove, meaning zero to 62 mph takes 15.6 seconds, though the CVT alternative, which theoretically should always have the right ratio, still needs 15.5 seconds. If you need to get places in a hurry, this isn’t the car for you, but the little triple does at least sound fairly characterful, even if it isn’t the quietest engine around, and the clutch and gearchange are light.
Up front though, it’s a different story. The cabin feels light and airy, and although the dashboard and door plastics make a marble kitchen worktop feel soft to the touch, there are enough tactile surfaces, like the chunky leather-wrapped steering wheel and gear shifter, and visual treats, including the half-moon speedometer with its add-on digital display, to avoid it feeling depressingly basic.
Other niggles include the position of the auxiliary power sockets, which are tucked below and partially hidden by the climate control panel, which itself is mounted a little too low. At least you still get user-friendly rotary controls for temperature and fan speed.in North America or Australia, but in the UK the Aygo X starts at £14,805 for the basic Pure with a five-speed manual transmission, or £15,905 for the same thing mated to a CVT.
But to be honest, the basic Pure is probably where the sweet spot is, because even that entry level car comes with 17-inch alloy wheels, reversing camera, adaptive cruise control, manual air conditioning, auto lights, a 7-inch infotainment system with DAB radio, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration.
