The all new Toyota Aygo made its public debut at this year’s Geneva Auto Show, coming with a striking new look and promising tons of inner city driving fun.
Regarding its looks, Toyota made it quite clear that the car is addressed to young active clients who demand lots of personalization options to express their style. As a result, the 2015 Aygo comes with a different approach to design as opposing to its PSA much toned-down sister cars, the Citroen C1 and Peugeot 108.
First thing to notice is that huge X splashed on the front end, which can be had in different colors, next comes the floating roof effect, angular design and other bits and trims you can had in custom colors.
But the new Aygo also promises to be fun to drive, as the engineers revised its mechanical parts. The 1-liter three-cylinder engine has been improved to offer 69 hp and 95 Nm in a more responsive way. The optional x-shift automated gearbox has been revised too and the steering is more sharper now. This also led to stiffening the rear end by 20 percent to compensate the possible roll as the car plummets quicker around the bends.
Of course, we can’t tell if there’s a big difference in handling until we get one and test it, but we can make an idea of how it should feel by looking at the first video with the car being drove around a test track.
