BEST MPG EVER? THE NEW TOYOTA AYGO X HYBRID HAS A SURPRISE FOR US IN THE DRIVING REVIEW!

EV Channels Review

The Toyota Aygo X Hybrid receives a significant facelift, introducing its first-ever hybrid powertrain. The reviewer highlights the substantial improvement in acceleration, with the 116 hp hybrid system making the car 6.3 seconds quicker from 0-100 km/h compared to the previous 72 hp model. A key takeaway is the exceptional fuel efficiency, achieving a remarkable 3.4 L/100 km (70 MPG US) in a mixed driving cycle, which the reviewer states is the lowest ever recorded on the channel for a non-plug-in hybrid. The interior sees upgrades with new sustainable materials and an improved infotainment system. While the GR Sport trim offers a sportier aesthetic with a black hood and stiffer suspension, the reviewer notes that the base model also benefits from improved sound deadening and thicker windows (on mid-trims) for a quieter cabin. The convertible soft-top option is also a notable feature. Downsides include continued use of hard-pack plastics in lower sections and the steering wheel's lack of reach adjustment. Despite the added weight of the hybrid system, the car retains its agile feel, and the reviewer praises its suitability for city driving and its improved stability on the road.
