Toyota Aygo cars

What types of used Toyota Aygo cars are there?

If there’s one thing that’s immediately noticeable about the Toyota Aygo, it’s the quirky design. This has been hugely appreciated by many motorists and probably plays into why it’s become so popular – the other part of that is likely down to just how nicely it will fit into your daily life. 

It’s small in a way that’s not silly – so you can still fit a good bit in the boot and your back-seat passengers won’t be sat in each other’s laps – but it’ll nip around busy roads with an agile feel that you’ll appreciate.    

Compared to other city cars, the Aygo feels fresher and a lot more fun, but is still functional for everyday use. Plus, it comes in at an affordable price point, yet still packs in a whole lot of features that’ll improve your drive.    

Trim levels available include the Aygo X, X-Style and X-clusiv.

What features does the Toyota Aygo have?

When it comes to the features of a used Toyota Aygo, it’ll really depend on which model you pick. Even the entry-level options come with some great standard kit – usually, you’ll get a rear-view camera for extra confidence while parking, cruise control, Bluetooth connectivity, plus a modern seven-inch touchscreen for navigating the car's functions.    

If you really want to push the boat out and get all the extras, you could bump up your budget and pick one of our flashier trims.

The Toyota Aygo X-Trend model gets all the normal bits but also offers paddle shift gears for a bit of a racing car feel, smartphone integration for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a more stylised interior.    

It’s also worth noting that the boot can usually fit around 168 litres, making it on the compact side but still big enough for your essentials, and the rear seats can usually be dropped back to make room for any extras.    

Is the Toyota Aygo reliable?

You only have to look at the consumer reviews and surveys to see how Toyota Aygo owners rate their reliability – the result is definitely positive. 

This is a dependable small car that isn’t known to be high on maintenance. Plus, it’s a Toyota, so it’s as robust as they come.   

Toyota Aygos are known to be reliable and durable cars, and they come with an impressive warranty from the manufacturer that covers up to 10 years' use, or 100,000 miles.   

How much does the Toyota Aygo cost to run?

You’ll usually find that most Toyota Aygos for sale are in insurance groups five or six, depending on the model. With the cheapest band being group one, you can see that the insurance is definitely on the lower end of the scale.   

Add to that the fact that its 1.0-litre petrol engine is incredibly efficient, and you’ll find yourself with low fuel and car tax bills. 

Who is the Toyota Aygo suitable for?

Because of the low running costs, especially its affordable insurance, a used Toyota Aygo makes a lot of sense for a first-time driver. However, with room for four adults, it remains a usable car for even seasoned drivers. 

Its main rivals include the Fiat Panda, Hyundai i10 and Kia Picanto.
