2012 Toyota Aygo facelift revealed

Posted on 09 January 2012. Tags: Toyota Aygo

The new updated Aygo will be revealed at the Brussels motor show on 10 January and will go on sale in the UK in March with a fresh new look with a front-end treatment that follows Toyota’s new design language.

Aygo now has a wider front bumper, with integrated foglights at each corner and a large trapezoidal air intake. Optional LED daytime running lights set into the lower edge of the grille add further emphasis to the look.

The upper front grille has been rendered more slender, while the new bonnet design contributes more to Aygo’s overall road presence. The re-style has added just 15mm to Aygo’s length; other dimensions – including the tight 4.73m turning circle – are unchanged, making the car as well-suited to life around town as ever.

In the cabin the look and feel of the fixtures and fittings has been improved. There is also a new-design steering wheel, that comes with a leather trim, plus paddle controls on the steering column for models using Toyota’s Multimode automated manual transmission.

Three-cylinder 1.0-litre VVT-i petrol engine packs 67bhp and 93Nm of torque. With five-speed manual transmission CO2 emissions fall from 105 to a road tax-busting 99g/km* and combined cycle fuel consumption improves from 61.3 to 65.7mpg.
