Car Deal of the Day: Have a happy Aygo Xmas for only £187 per month

It’s been less than a month since the refreshed Aygo X went on sale, and now it’s our Deal of the Day for 21 December

  • New hybrid tech offers up to 74.3mpg
  • Sharp new look and refreshed interior
  • Four-year lease deal

The new Toyota Aygo X Hybrid has only just landed in showrooms and while the chunky city car is more expensive than before – thanks to its new hybrid system and extra tech – you wouldn’t know based on the price of this extraordinary deal available right now through the Auto Express Buy A Car service.

For only £187 a month, VIP Gateway is offering a four-year lease on the brand-new Aygo X Hybrid in Icon trim. It does require a fairly hefty initial payment of £2,600, but being a four-year deal helps you get your money’s worth.

This deal also includes an annual mileage allowance of 5,000 per year, which should be plenty for anyone just looking for a frugal urban runabout or those with a short commute. If you cover a few more miles than that each year, fortunately increasing the limit to 8,000 miles only costs less than £10 extra a month. 

The biggest and most important change for the new Aygo X was under the bonnet, because the old 71bhp one-litre three-cylinder petrol engine has been replaced by the fuel-sipping hybrid system from the Toyota Yaris and Yaris Cross.

The ‘self-charging’ hybrid set-up – which is what Toyota calls it – includes a larger 1.5-litre engine and an electric motor that together produce 114bhp and 144Nm of torque. That cuts the car’s 0-62mph time down from around 15 seconds to less than 10 seconds and, according to Toyota, allows the Aygo X to return more than 70mpg. However, when we tested it, we managed to achieve an incredible 86mpg!

Icon is the entry-level trim for the Aygo X, but you still get a nine-inch central touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, a seven-inch driver’s display, diamond-cut 17-inch alloy wheels, automatic air conditioning, recycled seat upholstery and two USB-C ports.
