Concept
The Toyota Aygo X was prefigured by the Aygo X Prologue concept car presented on March 17, 2021.[11]
Specifications
The Aygo X is built on the shortened version of the GA-B platform.[12] The platform therefore differs from the first two generations of the Aygo, which were produced at the TMMCZ plant in Kolín, Czech Republic, where the Aygo X is also produced.[13] The 1.0-litre 1KR-B52 engine is retained from the previous Aygo models.[14]
