  • Toyota Aygo x-clusiv: Is It Really “All You Could Want For 2016”?

    A cool new club or restaurant, a hot new travel destination, the latest fashion look – everyone wants something new and different. The Toyota Aygo has already proved a big success as a fun and super-stylish city car that gives people the chance to make a statement with a wealth of personalisation features. Now there’s a new addition to the line-up, the 2016 x-clusiv, taking its place at the top of the range.

    This newcomer majors on looks and the kind of luxury features more commonly found on larger (and more expensive) models. On the outside the Electro Grey metallic paintwork strikes a winning contrast with bright silver customisation features – the style-defining front ‘X’, front pillar extensions, front bumper trim and rear bumper insert. Rear privacy glass and 15-inch machined alloy wheels with a large silver centre cap add to the x-clusiv’s visual impact.

    An x-wave electrically retractable canvas roof lets the whole cabin enjoy genuine open-top driving.

    The cabin is every bit as stylish, with black leather upholstery, a gloss black centre console and Electro Grey detailing on the air vent, centre cluster and gear shift surrounds.

  • Toyota Aygo vs Peugeot 108

    If you’re on the hunt for a city car, there’s plenty of new models to choose from in the current market. You need to make sure your car is fuel-efficient, comfortable, stylish to drive and a true reflection of your personality.

    We’re interested in two new models in particular; the Toyota Aygo available at Inchcape Toyota and the Peugeot 108. But with the two being so similar, how do we know which one to choose? Which one is more fuel efficient? Which is more comfortable to drive? What kinds of prices are we looking at? Well, let’s have a look and see.

    The Toyota Aygo; the features

    The Toyota Aygo, which starts around the £8k mark, is a small car with a playful personality. You might have seen the “go fun yourself” slogans on billboards everywhere recently, and the car itself lives up to its reputation.

    The Aygo is inspired by the Japanese cartoon ‘Astroboy’ and is beautifully styled, compact and agile. With the Aygo, there’s a wide range of customisation options available so that the customer can express their individuality. With the 1L engine, the Toyota Aygo is cheap to fuel and tax, making it economical as well as downright fancy.  The ‘X’ styling may take some getting used to, but the design is distinctive enough to completely differentiate the Aygo from every other car on the road at the moment.

    You can take the personalisation of the Toyota Aygo a step further with more investment. The Aygo x-play, x-pression, x-cite and x-clusiv offer varying technological extras, from Bluetooth connectivity, to multimedia systems, to rear-view cameras. For the top-end Aygo X-clusiv, you’re probably looking more around the £11k mark, but it’s definitely worth the money.

    Pros and cons

    The pros:

    • The size of the engine makes the Aygo relatively cheap to run
    • You pretty much have the option of personalising the Aygo any way you see fit
    • The size of the vehicle is well-suited for short trips around a city, but is also comfortable to drive on the motorway
    • With the distinctive ‘X’ design, the Aygo is very stylish drive
    • The Aygo’s engine is notably quiet to drive a lot of the time

    The cons:

    • For the top-end x-clusiv, the price is a bit steep but overall, excellent value for money
    • The Aygo is a four seater, with not a great amount of boot space, so it’s maybe not an ideal choice for a family car
    • The Aygo currently only comes with a 1L engine, so there’s not much room for variation in that regard

    The Peugeot 108; the features

    The Peugeot 108 is the most recent little car to roll off the production line. It shares a lot of characteristics with the Toyota Aygo, in that it’s small, compact and ideally suited for busy city dwellers. The new 108 3-door comes as a hatchback version or as a cabrio with a retractable fabric roof, in a variety of colourful interiors and exterior themes. Whilst the 108 has been revolutionized in terms of its new lines and stylish design, it’s still got the recognizable front grille and headlights. The 108 is perfect for manoeuvring in tight spaces, with a turning radius of 4.8m, making it perfect for short city journeys. You can choose from eight different paint finishes, 7 creative themes and three interior ambiences, so you can truly make this car your own. Except for the cheapest version, the 108 has a touch screen system for controlling infotainment and can also hook up to certain smartphones. A mirror image can be projected onto the screen so you can use Google maps and play music whilst driving. The prices for the Peugeot 108 are quite similar to those of the Toyota Aygo and as a general rule, the more you customise the more you pay.

    Pros and cons

    The pros:

    • There’s a huge range of customisation options available so you can truly make the Peugeot 108 your own
    • If you’re looking for a bit of extra power, you have the option of a 1.2L engine with the Peugeot 108
    • The boot is slightly larger in the Peugeot 108 than the Toyota Aygo
    • The steering is quite accurate and light

    The cons:

    • Similar to the Aygo, the Peugeot 108 is quite a small car, so maybe not suited for families
    • Refinement is a slight issue. With both the 1L and 1.2L, the engines send a lot of vibration through the gearstick, wheel and seat bases, which can be irritating
    • With the Top! Version, the roar of the wind might be little bit too loud on motorway journeys

    The verdict

    When it comes down to fuel efficiency, size and overall price, there isn’t a huge amount of difference between the Aygo and 108. But if we had to pick one, we’d probably go for the Toyota Aygo. It’s arguably the most stylish and likely to last the long term with its comprehensive five-year warranty. Additionally, Toyota boasts a notable sixth place finish in the 2014 Driver Power reliability table, whereas Peugeot finishes in the second half of the league. Toyota has the best reputation for reliability and the makers boast a choice of nearly half a million trim and colour combinations. That definitely gives the Aygo the upper hand for making the car your own.

    2014-Toyota-Aygo-THUMBToyota Aygo was just revealed at the Geneva Motor Show, showcasing a distinctive and characterful design. In these terms, the car was also dubbed J-Playful in reference to Japan’s hip youth culture.

    Aygo is compact, nimble and reliable, and of course has low running costs, which are due to the three-cylinder 1.0-litre VVT-i petrol engine. The car sports relatively small dimensions; it has an overall length of 3,455mm, height of 1,460mm, and widened front and rear tracks.

    The most striking design element is Aygo’s distinctive frontal X-graphic, which spreads outwards across the surface of the bodywork, and takes in all the vehicle’s main external features, including upper and lower grilles, headlamps, foglamps, and even mirrors and side glazing.

    In profile, the roof has been lowered and the front header moved forwards. The result is that cabin’s centre of gravity also moves. The roof has a new pagoda-style profile and an integral rear spoiler. At the he rear end the tailgate and lower bumper form break lines in the vehicle’s solid surface. The lamp clusters are set within the hexagonal tailgate, and the upper bumper section widens into pronounced wheel arches.

    Inside one can see the trapezoidal centre console, new design for the air vents, door trims and gear shift surround. The console supports a wide dashboard with a matt, anti-glare finish; it features a meter made of up concentric rings and central multi-information display.

    The wheelbase remains unchanged for the 2014 Aygo and is 2,340 mm. Despite this fact, the cabin is longer by 9mm, and features wider armrests to enhance the comfort. There’s more room for luggage – additional 29 litres.

    Toyota decided to make the model easily customizable. Optional features include X-shaped front grille, rear bumper insert, enhanced front bumper and alloy wheels, different design for the instrument panel, centre console, air vents, shift knob and gear lever surround. In addition, the brand is offering a choice of exterior and interior styling packs. 2014 Aygo will be fitted with x-touch multimedia system, operated using a fully integrated seven-inch touchscreen. This system is the first to come with a rear view camera as standard.

    Furthermore, the car is driven by the three-cylinder 1.0-litre engine, which produces 68 hp (51kW) at 6,000rpm and 95 Nm (70 lb-ft) at 4,300rpm. The combined cycle fuel consumption here is estimated at 68.8mpg, while the CO2 emissions to 95g/km.

    The engine will be mated to a five-speed manual transmission or optional new x-shift-automated manual transmission that can be used in fully automatic mode, or with manual gear selection using paddle shifts or the shift lever itself.
