TheToyota Aygo is acity car (A-segment) marketed byToyota mainly in the European market between 2005 and 2022 across two generations. The Aygo was first displayed at the2005 Geneva International Motor Show. It was built alongside the relatedCitroën C1 andPeugeot 107/108 at theToyota Peugeot Citroën Automobile Czech (TPCA)joint venture inKolín,Czech Republic. The Aygo's production ended in 2021 and the model was replaced by thecrossover-styledAygo X.
The name "Aygo" comes from "i-go", symbolising freedom and mobility.[4]

The decision to produce the cars was made on 12 July 2001 when the presidents of Toyota and PSA Peugeot Citroën,Fujio Cho andJean-Martin Folz respectively, decided to produce a small car to share development costs. This project was calledB-Zero. ThePeugeot 107 andCitroën C1 arerebadged versions of the same car.
The main difference between the Aygo and its French siblings are badging, rear side windows, steering wheel, and the easily recognizable front and rear treatments. The planned production was 300,000 cars annually – 100,000 cars per brand. Sales began in July 2005, and the car was available as a three- or five-door hatchback. There were two engines available, a 1.0-litre, three-cylinder engine rated at 68 PS (50 kW), and a 1.4 Lturbo-diesel I4 engine rated at 54 PS (40 kW).
The Aygo was used onBBC'sTop Gear in a giant match offootball, showcasing its maneuverability. TheTop Gear presenters deemed the Aygo and its Peugeot and Citroën counterparts to be competent town cars.
A modified Aygo was also used onFifth Gear to perform a twelve metre highloop the loop on a specially designed track to determine if a stunt that can be done usingHot Wheels toys can be replicated in real life. The stunt was driven by stuntmanSteve Truglia in May 2009.
In January 2010, the Aygo was part of aworldwide recall by Toyota for a faulty sticking accelerator pedal. It was found that under some circumstances, the pedal could stick in a partially depressed position, or return slowly to the off position. The recall affected the Aygo, Peugeot 107 and Citroën C1 models built between February 2005 and August 2009.[5] Information from Toyota later suggested, however, that only Aygos with automatic gearboxes were affected, and that those with manual gearboxes were not.[6]
First generation models include:
The Aygo received its first facelift, replacing the front bumper shape from the original, and changing the rear lights to a transparent appearance, from their original red tinted cluster. A revisedclutch was fitted from this model onwards.[19]
The Aygo received its second facelift, this time incorporating a more angular bumper with the inclusion of daytime running lights (DRL).[20]

Breakdown statistics reported by theGerman Automobile Club in May 2010 placed the Aygo (which the data grouped with theCitroën C1 andPeugeot 107) at the top of the sub small car class, in respect of the low breakdown rates achieved for cars aged between one and four years.[21][22]

In 2008, Toyota created a driveable one off concept car based on the Toyota Aygo with amid-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout. Named the Aygo Crazy, it was unveiled to the public at the July 2008British International Motor Show in London, before appearing at other motor shows that year based in the United Kingdom.[26]
The Aygo Crazy has a Japanese-built1ZZ-FE 1.8 litre VVT-i engine, mated to a five speed manual gearbox, both from theToyota MR2, fitted with aToyota Motorsportturbocharger conversion. The manufacturer claims the engine produces 147 kW (197 bhp) at 6,700 rpm and 240 N⋅m (177 lb⋅ft) torque at 3,400 rpm.
Weighing just 1,050 kg (2,315 lb), this gives it a 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) sprint time of 5.75 seconds and a theoretical top speed of 204 km/h (127 mph), though the latter has not been tested. Unlike the standard Aygo, it has no driver aids, power steering oranti-lock brakes.
Exterior modifications include wider arches to accommodate the one inch of extra track, 17 inch alloy wheels withGoodyear tyres and a carbon fibre rear spoiler designed for the 322 km/h (200 mph) AmericanChamp Car series.
Suspension is from the MR2, with adjustableTein shock absorbers andMacPherson struts front and rear. To cope with the extra power, Toyota upgraded the standard 247 mm (9.7 in) front brake discs to a 328 mm (12.9 in)Brembo conversion, with 280 mm (11.0 in) ventilated rear discs replacing the 200 mm (7.9 in) drums normally found on the Aygo. An upratedHelix clutch is also used.
The interior features a partialroll cage for extra chassis rigidity and driver protection. Two specially designed sports seats, trimmed in red and black, and a suede rimmedSparco steering wheel complete the race-inspired look.
Toyota claims the Aygo Crazy cost£100,000 to build.[27]
From 2008 to 2015, and again from 2019 to 2020, the Chinese car manufacturerBYD Auto has produced theBYD F0, an unlicensed clone of the Toyota Aygo.[28]

Models include:
The Aygo also includes numerous safety features such as vehicle stability control (VSC), anti lock braking system (ABS), hill start assist control (HAC) and supplemental restraint system (SRS) with six airbags.[36]
