It is reported that Toyota Aygo This facelift seems to be an attempt to do something good with the appearance and interior, but there is probably no major change in terms of power.

Let’s talk about the appearance first. The front face of the new Aygo X should have the biggest change. The disguise is quite tight, but many clues can be seen. The bulging ribs on the front hatch give it a strong sense of strength.

The flat design of the grille is difficult to say exactly, but the headlights on both sides are blackened and have lenses, which makes the eyes sharp at once. The lower enclosure has a three-section design, and the fenders on both sides also have small air guides and fog lights. The trapezoidal air inlet at the bottom is decorated with a grid, and the entire front of the car has a distinct sense of hierarchy.

There are no major changes to the side of the body, it still has a compact and flexible shape. The roof has a bit of curvature and a shark fin, which looks quite playful. The segmented waistline design makes the side look less monotonous.

The black trim panels on the wheel arches and side skirts highlight the wildness of the crossover. The five-spoke blackened wheels are both atmospheric and sporty, and I personally think they look pretty good.

The rear shape has a small spoiler on the roof and a high-mounted brake light. This is a popular design now. The taillight group is arranged vertically and is quite satisfactory. The concave design in the license plate frame area adds a bit of three-dimensionality to the tail. The lower surround also has some layers, but the exhaust pipe is hidden, making it appear relatively low-key.

In general, the appearance changes of the new Aygo X are mainly concentrated on the front face, which emphasizes sportiness and power, and is more in line with the tastes of young people.

But I have to say that the appearance design is not too advantageous in the domestic market. After all, our own brand is already very sophisticated in design. The design language of Aygo X can only be said to be quite satisfactory.

Let’s look at the dimensions again. The length, width and height of the current model are 3700/1740/1525mm, and the wheelbase is 2430mm. After the facelift, the dimensions are expected to be slightly adjusted, but the wheelbase should remain unchanged.

This size, to be honest, is at the A00 level in our country. It is not much larger than mini cars such as BYD Seagull and Wuling Bingo. There is basically no space in the back. It is suitable for daily transportation in the city and occasionally picking up a child. .

But considering that it is mainly sold in the European market, where small cars are more popular, this size is considered sufficient. Moreover, small cars also have the advantages of small cars. They are convenient for parking, can shuttle freely, and are easier to drive in congested cities.

Regarding the interior, foreign media said there will be changes. The current interior has lines, but the texture and technology are really not that interesting. I think the facelift should focus on improving the quality of the interior, such as changing to a larger central control screen, using more advanced materials, adding some ambient lighting and so on.

After all, consumers now have higher and higher requirements for interiors, and no one wants to face a plastic-like center console every day.

Of course, the positioning of Aygo X is here after all, and the interior materials are not too luxurious. It can be simple and practical, and it is enough to add a sense of design and technology. As for the specific changes, we have to wait for further official news.

Finally, let’s talk about power. The current model uses a 1.0L three-cylinder self-priming engine with a maximum power of 72 horsepower and a peak torque of 93 Nm (the original data of 73N·m here is wrong, according to external data, it should be 93N·m). Matched with 5-speed manual or CVT transmission.

To be honest, this power is just enough for daily transportation. If you rely on its strong acceleration, forget it. It is estimated that the power of the new model will not change much. After all, this car is positioned to be economical and practical, and low fuel consumption is the key.

And in the European market, small-displacement engines are also very popular. After all, oil prices in Europe are quite expensive. Of course, for us domestic consumers, 72 horsepower is indeed a bit fleshy, especially when it is fully loaded or overtaking at high speed, it may feel inadequate.

If the new model can be introduced into the country, I hope it can be replaced with a more powerful engine, even a 1.5L one, which will make the driving experience better.

However, considering that it is mainly aimed at the European market and the price is not cheap, it is unlikely to be introduced into the country. Even if it is introduced, the prospects of Aygo X are not optimistic in the face of fierce competition in the domestic market.
