Toyota Aygo 1.0 VVT-i X-Clusiv 3 5dr x-shift Review

1.0 VVT-i X-Clusiv 3 5dr x-shift

Trim

This range-topping trim gets you some serious luxuries (by city car standards), including keyless entry and start, leather seats, climate control and 15in alloys. There are far better cars available at this price, though.

Engine

Only one engine is offered with the Aygo: a three-cylinder, 1.0-litre petrol. Pull away from standstill and it suffers a prolonged flat spot and a shortage of power until 4000rpm, after which it is more eager. As a result, this engine has to be worked hard to make decent progress and you'll often need to change down a gear – especially on steep hills – to avoid losing speed.
