Toyota has unveiled prices and specs for the Aygo X Hybrid, and the little crossover has been sharpened into a far more compelling city car. Orders open 1 December, with the lineup starting at €25,482 for Icon, €27,959 for Design and €30,733 for Excel. The range-topper, the GR Sport, is priced from €31,736. Dealers are still knocking money off the outgoing, non-hybrid Aygo X, with discounts approaching €4,720 for buyers willing to take the previous-generation model. This is Toyota’s smallest hybrid to date, replacing the naturally aspirated Aygo X with a full hybrid powertrain and a stronger standard specification.
Styling changes include a refreshed front end, diamond-cut 17-inch alloys and distinct GR Sport detailing at the top of the range. Inside, the entry-level display grows from seven to nine inches, while a seven-inch instrument cluster sits in front of the driver. A recycled fabric upholstery, automatic air conditioning and two USB-C sockets are all standard, lifting the cabin feel well beyond typical city-car expectations. Toyota offers a trio of option packs to broaden the appeal.
The €590 Convenience Pack adds push-button start, front fog lamps, a wireless smartphone charger and electrically adjustable heated mirrors. The €708 Parking Pack tacks on keyless entry and front and rear parking sensors. For €1,593 the Premium Pack supplies a retractable canvas roof and a JBL premium sound system previously seen on a special edition model. Step up to Design and you get black and diamond-cut 18-inch wheels, LED headlights and the Convenience Pack as standard, plus embroidered X-pattern seats and extra noise‑cancelling measures to keep wind and road rumble at bay. Excel introduces a huge 10.5-inch centre screen and heated perforated front seats for a more premium daily experience. The GR Sport swaps in bespoke 18-inch wheels, tuned suspension, GR-branded seats, a sharper grille and a black bonnet for a far sportier character. Safety has been beefed up too. While the previous Aygo X scored four stars in Euro NCAP testing in 2022, the hybrid benefits from adaptive cruise control, emergency stop, driving assist, pre-collision assist and lane-keep assist — features that should help lift its protection and safety-assist credentials.
The headline change, however, is the powertrain. The new hybrid pairs a 1.5-litre three-cylinder petrol engine with an electric motor to produce 115 hp combined, transforming both performance and economy. Toyota quotes a combined fuel consumption equivalent to 3.59 L/100 km — a big improvement over the former car’s 5.01 L/100 km. During road testing drivers even recorded figures as low as 3.28 L/100 km on a careful run. Performance is lively for a car of this size: 0–100 km/h takes 9.2 seconds, about 5.7 seconds quicker than the outgoing generation.
That pace, together with the instant torque from the electric assistance, makes city traffic and motorway slips far less effortful than before. Packaging also benefits from the hybrid system being integrated without major compromises to boot or cabin space, making it a genuinely practical tiny crossover. In short, the Aygo X Hybrid tightens the package where it matters: sharper looks, stronger equipment, improved quietness and a powertrain that delivers both efficiency and genuine step-up performance. For urban drivers who want low running costs without sacrificing style or comfort, this Toyota now poses a serious challenge in the supermini crossover market.
