The tastes of the global market are very clear. The SUV trend has come to mark a before and after in the mentality of car designers, who adopt this aesthetic for all types of launches. The Toyota Aygo has always been, and will continue to be, the economic utility of the Japanese firm. However, and with the sole objective of fitting even more into the buyer’s imagination, the latest generation has made the leap into the SUV segment with the Toyota Aygo X Cross . The brand raised the bar at the beginning of the year, when it presented to the world the Aygo Prologue , an expensive country-style approach with sizable rims, greater height and a very marked waist. The final production model follows the concept set by that prototype, offering a leap in quality both in design and in equipment and safety. Of course, it will continue without having a hybrid motorization as rivals such as the Fiat Panda do present.
Before explaining the main novelties of a model that changes completely, let’s clarify the name of this generation. Hours before its official launch, this utility was called Aygo X (cross in English). In Spain it was very likely that people would end up citing him by Aygo “x “, something that the firm ruled out completely. So, from the headquarters in our country, they negotiated the introduction of the X Cross. Curiosities that happen behind the scenes and are interesting with the passage of time. We will see what we call it when the first units, in spring 2022 , arrive on our streets.
They will do it with an attractive design where they exist. The commitment to the SUV essence is a success for a model that has grown in all its dimensions, starting from the GA-B (TGNA) architecture that the Yaris presented at its launch. The most relevant of this growth is the trunk , which goes from 168 liters to 231 liters of capacity , expandable to 829 if we fold down the seats. Nor will the new color combinations go unnoticed: Cardamom, Chilli, Ginger and Juniper . All of them are combined with the black tone of the roof, which also reaches the rear wings, and a practicable roof that will be optional in our market. We still do not know the prices, nor the final configurations.
