New Toyota Aygo X 2025 review: cheap city car’s hybrid powertrain is a delight
The boot is pretty tiny, too. It has just 231 litres of space, and a high loading lip due to the single-pane glass tailgate. However luggage space is unchanged compared to the previous model, despite the need to package in an extra battery pack, which is an impressive feat in itself.

The curvy dash still doesn't have centrally-mounted air vents, but Toyota has upgraded the infotainment system.
In place of the previous car's old-fashioned double-DIN infotainment screen is Toyota's latest 10.5-inch system, with a much larger touchscreen and easy pairing to Apple CarPlay[1] and Android Auto[2]. Despite some limitations, the Aygo X hybrid is still full of charisma and charm. The only thing that's left to consider is the price, which is still yet to be confirmed in the UK.
If it's too close to that of a Yaris, the physical size limitations of its tiny body will make it a hard sell, and compared to other city cars like the Kia Picanto[3] or Hyundai i10[4], it still feels a little less substantial behind the wheel. But as a mission statement proving the relevance of simple, low-cost and efficient ICE-powered cars, the Aygo X Hybrid makes a very compelling case.
