“The push for electric cars makes a compelling case for the funky Honda e or Fiat 500e, but their prices are about double that of the Toyota Aygo X. For those in the market for petrol power – which is likely to be most people in this sector – and not wanting something quite as big as a Toyota Yaris, the Aygo X is worth sticking on the shortlist.” (Cat Dow)

“Toyota has pulled out all the stops with the new Aygo X, giving its city car an SUV-inspired flavour, a new platform and revamped tech. The result is a far more accomplished model, but thanks to inheriting its forebear’s lacklustre engine and cramped rear seats, it’s short of scoring top marks.”

“The Toyota Aygo X is a much more substantial looking city car than its predecessor, and the interior quality is a big step forward, too. It’s reasonably roomy inside and nice to drive, though the lack of any hybrid option from Toyota seems like an own goal, especially since higher-spec models are priced close to the Yaris.”

“Electrification is definitely the future, but there’s something appealing about such a simple package like the Aygo X. It’s not without its faults, but the purity of the concept and the lack of weight are refreshing in an era of ever more complex solutions.”

“The Toyota Aygo X is otherwise fun to drive, whether you’re in a city or not. If you would rather trade the SUV looks for more rear passenger space, the Hyundai i10 is for you. It offers a turbocharged engine if you need a bit more pace, too. But as it stands, the Aygo X is refreshingly simple for thrifty everyday motoring.”

“If the pillars of any city car are compact size, nippy performance and low cost, the Aygo X is pretty borderline. Yes, its styling, ride quality and equipment levels redeem it to some extent. And the remaining opposition is far from perfect. But that puny engine, increased price and hopeless rear seating area are significant fails.”

“The Toyota Aygo X is certainly a very welcome entry into the city car segment, offering customers a stylish, safe and fuel-efficient choice. In entry-level trims, it’s decent value too considering the level of standard equipment on offer. It doesn’t lead the way in this class, though, not being as roomy as sophisticated as the best, particularly the Hyundai i10 and Kia Picanto.” (Ted Welford)

“The Toyota Aygo X is still a city car, but now with mini-SUV styling. It’s just a shame its engine lacks any form of electrification.”

“The Toyota Aygo has been part of a trio of city cars alongside Peugeot and Citroen for the last two decades. But now, like Beyonce after Destiny’s Child, the Japanese maker is hoping for success with a new, edgier solo effort: the Toyota Aygo X.”

“The Toyota Aygo X isn’t really a crossover – it’s a city car with a faint hint of SUV design. But it’s stylish, good to drive, solid and well-equipped, and the raised driving position and tight turning circle make it perfect for town use.”

“Spacious with a generous safety spec and an elegant infotainment interface that won’t date quickly, the disappointment of the engine noise and unpolished gear shifting fades quickly.”

“Toyota’s emphasis on safety puts Aygo X at the very front of the class. Bear in mind this sort of car is often bought by parents for their kids’ first cars. I know I would want the peace of mind.”

“The Toyota Aygo X might not be the last car standing in this market (the fast-disappearing VW Up is arguably better), but in a much-diminished line-up of rivals – which is likely to get even smaller as new safety and emission regulations tighten their bite – it is a courageous attempt to provide mobility to the masses.” (Andrew English)

“A fun little city car to drive despite the raised suspension. Could do with more character, though.”

“The Aygo X offers thrifty everyday motoring and is packed with safety tech, but if you need extra rear-seat passenger space, the Hyundai i10 will be a much better fit. The i10 also has a more powerful engine so it gives you a bit of extra pace, too.”
