View dealThe Toyota Aygo X is Toyota's smallest car: a four-seat, five-door hatchback just 3.78 metres long, sold in one body style with one engine. It's built for town driving, tight parking and low fuel bills rather than family holidays.
The choice is refreshingly simple. One hatchback body, one self-charging Hybrid powertrain with an automatic gearbox, and four trims - Icon, Design, Excel and GR Sport - so the only real decision is how much kit and what wheels you want.
It suits commuters, second-car households, downsizers and drivers who want hybrid economy without a home charger. If you regularly carry three adults or a large boot's worth of luggage, be honest with yourself about the 226-litre boot before you order.

The Aygo X is the entry point to Toyota's car range, sitting below the Yaris. It's a four-seat city car with crossover styling cues, a 226-litre boot and a 3-year / 60,000-mile manufacturer warranty.
Reviewers consistently praise the switch to hybrid power, which transformed a car previously criticised for a weak engine. Road testers report real-world economy that lives up to the official figures, and they like the light steering and tight turning circle around town.
The criticisms are just as consistent: rear space is tight, and the boot is small even by city-car standards. Fold the rear seats and you get 824 litres, which covers the flat-pack run but not much more.
Because every Aygo X arrives with the safety and convenience kit that matters, and it's cheap to run. Adaptive cruise control, autonomous emergency braking, lane-keep assist, traffic sign recognition, automatic high beam, a rear-view camera and air conditioning are standard across the range.
You also get a digital instrument cluster, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, DAB radio, voice control, rain-sensing wipers, automatic headlights and an electric parking brake on every version. Euro NCAP rated the Aygo X four stars, with 83% for vulnerable road user protection.
On economy, the hybrid returns 72.4-74.3 mpg WLTP depending on version, with CO2 of 87-89 g/km. Service intervals are every 12 months or 10,000 miles, and there's a 12-year anti-corrosion guarantee. Spare wheel? It's a tyre repair kit, so factor that in.
There's only one, so this part is easy. Every Aygo X is a self-charging hybrid with an automatic gearbox and front-wheel drive, which means no plug, no charging cable and no range anxiety to plan around.
A 1.5-litre three-cylinder petrol engine works with a 0.76 kWh battery for a combined 114 bhp, 0-62 mph in 9.2 seconds and a 107 mph top speed. It charges itself as you drive and brake. Ideal if you do lots of stop-start town miles.
| Hybrid | |
|---|---|
| Boot | 226 litres |
| Power | 114 bhp |
| Seats | 4 |
| Battery | 0.76 kWh |
| 0–62 mph | 9.2 s |
| Economy (WLTP) | 72.4–74.3 mpg |
All four trims share the same 114 bhp hybrid and the same standard safety kit, so you're choosing wheels, cabin trim and comfort features rather than performance.
The entry trim is far from basic: 17-inch bi-tone alloy wheels, cloth upholstery, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a three-spoke synthetic leather steering wheel, a reversing camera and adaptive cruise control. Plenty of customers stop here and don't feel short-changed.
The Icon is currently available from £236.83 a month.
Design moves to 18-inch bi-tone alloys and adds wireless phone charging, LED headlights, rear privacy glass, light blue ambient lighting in the centre console and power-folding door mirrors. It's the sensible pick if you want the phone charger and the darker glass.
The Design is currently available from £253.36 a month. Against the Icon, that is currently £16.52/mo more expensive.
Excel keeps the 18-inch alloys and adds heated front seats, a synthetic leather gear shift knob, front and rear parking sensors and dual-zone climate control. Heated seats in a car this small warm up quickly, which is worth more than it sounds on winter mornings.
The Excel is currently available from £277.09 a month. Against the Design, that is currently £23.74/mo more expensive.
GR Sport is mostly about looks and feel: 18-inch GR SPORT bi-tone black and machined-face alloys, part leather upholstery, a partially perforated synthetic leather steering wheel and its own sports suspension tune. Same 114 bhp as every other Aygo X.
The GR Sport is currently available from £281.00 a month. Against the Excel, that is currently £3.91/mo more expensive.
Packs are worth a look too. A Convenience Pack adds wireless charging, a Parking Pack is available, and a Premium Pack brings a JBL premium sound system - availability varies by trim, so check the individual deal. Our guide to choosing your spec covers how to weigh options against term and mileage.
