The original Aygo was a big hit for Toyota, with its compact dimensions, minuscule running costs and cheeky looks earning it strong sales numbers across the UK. So the Japanese brand didn't mess with a winning formula for the second-generation car.

It’s powered by the same three-cylinder engine and employs the same lightweight build. But Toyota has tried to give the Aygo even greater youth appeal with a funky design, a range of personalisation packages and smartphone-optimised infotainment system.
