New Toyota Aygo goes on market

The second generation of the Toyota Aygo (below) has just gone on sale in Ireland with prices from just €12,625.

The Aygo, which is a sister car to both the Peugeot 108 and the Citroen C1 and is manufactured in France and Toyota says the new car retains the ‘fun-to-drive’ aspect of its predecessor, but now offers more choice, more equipment and the latest in multimedia technology.

The new Aygo continues to be available with 1.0 VVT-i engine in both 5 speed manual transmission and ‘x-shift’ automated manual transmission, but Toyota says CO2 emissions have been reduced by 4g to 95g for manual and 7g to 97g for x-shift.
