The Aygo X: Toyota to unveil new city car crossover next month

Overview

Toyota’s next-generation city car will be a compact urban crossover that will be unveiled next month, according to reports.

It was previewed earlier this year with a concept called the Aygo X Prologue.

I remember there was quite a fuss made of it on the basis there was nothing else like it on the market.

If they carry even half the looks and pzazz over from concept to production, we could be in for a special treat.

I suppose it comes as no surprise then to learn the new car will be called the Aygo X.

According to Autocar, the motoring giant claims it will be unique in its market.

It replaces the current Aygo city car.

However, while it will still reflect the image of an Aygo in overall terms, the car will look a lot more dynamic.

And, of course, it will sit a good deal higher off the ground to justify its crossover nomenclature.

By the way, Toyota seemingly wants us to pronounce the ‘X’ as “cross” in keeping with other crossover-styled models such as the new Yaris Cross.
