About the Toyota Aygo AB40
The second-generation Toyota Aygo, internal code AB40, is a quintessential city car defined by its bold 'X' graphic front-end design. Developed as part of the B-Zero project alongside the Citroën C1 and Peugeot 108, the Aygo distinguishes itself with Toyota's own 1.0-litre 1KR-FE engine, renowned for its reliability and thrummy three-cylinder character. The x-play trim was the core volume seller, offering essential modernities like air conditioning and Bluetooth in a lightweight package weighing less than 900kg. While not fast, its short wheelbase and light steering make it exceptionally agile in tight European city streets.
