Toyota unveils the Aygo its new city car

Toyota has unveiled the second generation of its segment A city car, the Aygo, which will be produced as of the summer 2014 in the Toyota-PSA plant of Kolin in the Czech Republic, alongside the new Peugeot 108 and Citroën C1.


Unlike the small Peugeot, Toyota will not change the name of its vehicle. The new Aygo replaces a model produced at more than 740 000 units between 2005 (launch date) and 2013, slightly less than the Peugeot 107 (790 000 units) and the Citroën C1 (760 000 units), over the same marketing period .


Like the Peugeot 108 and Citroën C1, the Toyota Aygo will be produced in both a three-door and a five-door version, unlike its direct competitor the new Renault Twingo (only available in five-doors).


The Aygo (unlike the 108 and C1) will only be available in a petrol version (3 cylinder 1.0 Genuine Toyota engine and 3-cylinder 1.2 Genuine PSA Peugeot-Citroën engine), following the general trend which aims to reduce the share of diesel engines in the segment of small cars (following the new European regulations on gas emissions).


Inovev expects the production volume to reach nearly 100 000 units per year for the Toyota Aygo (three and five-door versions), a production volume similar to that of the 108 and C1. Let us recall that the Kolin plant has a current capacity of 340 000 vehicles per year.
