Review: Toyota AYGO - Upcoming competitor to Suzuki Alto
X-Play model in Europe comes with air-conditioning, 15-inch steel wheels, Bluetooth , a leather steering wheel and gearlever, a four-speaker stereo and a rev counter.
More expensive models Aygo sports alloy wheels, part-leather seats, DAB radio, a touch-screen infotainment system and a reversing camera etc.
If it can throw a contender to Alto & Eon, we can see a stiff competition in the space which be useful to end consumers.

While most of European variant of the car features AMT, the Indian version will come 5-speed manual gearbox which shall power the front wheels.![]() |
