Inovev forecasts 100,000 units per year of the new Toyota Aygo Cross
- Toyota has unveiled the new generation of its city car Aygo (A-segment sedan) at a time when most carmakers are abandoning this type of model. This new Aygo is renamed Aygo Cross, which places it in the SUV category, below the Yaris Cross (B-segment SUV), CHR (C-segment SUV), Corolla Cross (C-segment SUV) and RAV4 ( D-segment SUV) which currently makes up the Toyota SUV range in Europe. The Aygo Cross will be sold only in Europe.
- This is the first Aygo not to be dubbed Peugeot and Citroën versions, since the Stellantis group ended this year the association with Toyota in small cars, continuing this association in LCVs (Toyota ProAce and ProAce City).
- The Aygo Cross is based on the NGA-B platform of the Yaris and Yaris Cross, its dimensions being 24cm smaller than the Yaris but 23cm larger than the old Aygo. The total length is now 3.70 m.
- The height also gains 5 cm, SUV requires, but the engine remains the 1.0 petrol 3 cylinders offered on the old version. There will be no diesel, electric or hybrid version (like on the Yaris and Yaris Cross), officially for cost reasons.
- The new Toyota Aygo Cross, which will now represent the Japanese automaker's entry level in Europe, will be assembled at the Czech Kolin site, like the previous Aygo, at a rate of 100,000 units per year according to Inovev.
- Remember that part of the Toyota Yaris will be manufactured on this site from this fall, replacing the Citroën C1 and Peugeot 108, with the aim of relieving the French factory of Onnaing which manufactures both the Yaris and the Yaris. Cross.
