Toyota Aygo 3 generation (2021–2026)

New displacement 996 cm³ (was 998 cm³), still Gasoline, 3 Inline, 4 valves per cylinder, Front, transverse, Distributed injection (multi-point), compression 11.8, bore and stroke 71 × 84, fuel 95. Boost is not measured. Power is 72 hp / 52 kW at 6000 rpm and 94 Nm at 3600 rpm on both 1.0 MT and 1.0 CVT.

What changed versus 2 generation, restyling: −2 cm³, −1 kW, torque peak 800 rpm earlier (3600 vs 4400), kerb +100 kg on the manual (940 vs 840) and +105 kg on the automatic-side car versus 1.0 DCT KR-FE (965 vs 860). Combined fuel goes from 4.2 to 5 L/100 km. CO2 goes from 95 to 113 g/km. Top speed falls from 160 to 158 km/h (1.0 MT) or 151 km/h (1.0 CVT). Gross weight is not measured. Ground clearance is 129 mm (the restyle robotic car was 118 mm; restyle 1.0 MT clearance is not measured). Front brakes are Ventilated disc; the restyle used Disc. Gears on 1.0 CVT are not measured; 1.0 MT keeps 5.

Buy 3 generation only if you specifically want Variable (1.0 CVT) — no other Aygo in the data has that gearbox — or if you need the later production window. On measured performance and economy it is not the 72 hp bargain.

Toyota Aygo 2 generation, restyling (2018–2022)

This is the peak of the 998 cm³ petrol: 72 hp / 53 kW, Euro 6, 95 g/km CO2, combined 4.2 L/100 km. 1.0 MT is the fastest Aygo here (13.8 s, 160 km/h). 1.0 DCT KR-FE is the only version whose name includes the engine code; it makes 97 Nm versus 93 Nm on the restyle manual, yet still loses 1.4 s to 100 km/h because of Robotic and +20 kg.

Wheel sizes are measured only here, and only on 1.0 MT: 165/60 R15 and 165/65 R14. Other Aygo wheels are not measured.

Toyota Aygo 2 generation (2014–2019)

Same 998 cm³ Gasoline 3 Inline, 69 hp / 51 kW, 95 Nm at 4300 rpm, compression 11.5, Euro 5. CO2 is not measured. Engine layout is not measured.

1.0 MT is the economy pick of the whole petrol line: city 4.5, highway 3.8, combined 3.8 L/100 km. That is 0.4 L/100 km less combined than restyle 1.0 MT, with 3 hp less and 0.5 s more to 100 km/h (14.3 s). Kerb is 855 kg (+15 kg vs restyle 1.0 MT). Ground clearance 135 mm is the highest measured Aygo figure.

1.0 TFT matches 69 hp and 95 Nm with Robotic 5, but kerb jumps to 930 kg (+75 kg vs this generation’s 1.0 MT). 0–100 is 15.5 s. City, highway and combined fuel are not measured. Do not buy 2 generation 1.0 TFT if you care about documented consumption: the catalogue does not give it.

Toyota Aygo 1 generation, restyling 2 (2012–2014)

67 hp / 50 kW, 93 Nm at 3600 rpm, compression 10.5, top speed 157 km/h. Eco class and CO2 are not measured. Front brakes Ventilated disc.

1.0 MT: 14.2 s, 800 kg, city 5.5 / highway 3.9 / combined 4.5. 1.0 TFT: 14.9 s, 790 kg, city 5.5 / highway 4.1 / combined 4.6. The robotic car is 10 kg lighter and 0.1 L/100 km thirstier combined. Clearance and wheels are not measured.

Versus 2 generation 1.0 MT: −2 hp, +0.7 L/100 km combined, −55 kg, −3 km/h top speed. The restyling-2 petrols are light, not economical by later measured numbers.

Toyota Aygo 1 generation, restyling (2009–2012)

Six versions: the only generation with a diesel and two petrols at 67 hp and 68 hp that share the names 1.0 MT and 1.0 TFT. Distinguish them by power (and, for the two 1.4 MT at 54 hp, by kerb and city fuel).

Petrols stay 998 cm³, 93 Nm at 3600 rpm, compression 10.5, Ventilated disc / Drum. Diesels are 1398 cm³, 4 Inline, 2 valves per cylinder, Turbo, Diesel, 54 hp / 40 kW at 4000 rpm, 130 Nm at 1750 rpm, compression 17.9, injection not measured.

Toyota Aygo 1 generation (2005–2009)

Six versions again. Two 1.0 MT both 67 hp (tell them apart by 50 kW vs 49 kW, and by 0–100: 14.2 s vs 14.9 s). Two 1.0 TFT both 67 hp (14.2 s vs 14.7 s). Two 1.4 MT both 54 hp: one is 1399 cm³, 16.8 s, 154 km/h, 890 kg; the other is 1398 cm³, 15.0 s, 145 km/h, 790 kg. Front brakes are Disc, not Ventilated disc.

The standout buy in this generation, if you stay original, is the 1.0 MT 67 hp / 49 kW with combined 3.8 L/100 km, city 4.6, highway 3.4, 14.9 s, 800 kg, clearance 121 mm. The other 1.0 MT 67 hp / 50 kW has city/highway/combined not measured, 14.2 s, 800 kg. Same name, same horsepower, different kW and a 0.7 s gap — pick by the 49 kW row if you want the documented 3.8 L/100 km.

Engines and specs

Specific output (hp per litre, using catalogue displacement): 3 generation 72 / 0.996 ≈ 72.3 hp/L; restyle 72 / 0.998 ≈ 72.1 hp/L; 2 generation 69.1 hp/L; 68 hp petrols 68.1 hp/L; 67 hp petrols 67.1 hp/L; diesel 54 / 1.398 ≈ 38.6 hp/L (54 / 1.399 ≈ 38.6 hp/L on the 1399 cm³ 1.4 MT). The diesel’s case is torque: 130 Nm vs 93–97 Nm on petrols, arriving at 1750 rpm instead of 3600–4400.

Compression: petrol 10.5 (all 1 generation rows) → 11.5 (2 generation and restyle 1.0 DCT KR-FE) → 11.8 (restyle 1.0 MT and both 3 generation cars). Diesel 17.9. Restyle 1.0 MT is the only 998 cm³ petrol at 11.8.

Performance, mpg and economy

0–100 km/h, fastest to slowest (measured): restyle 1.0 MT 13.8 s; restyling 2 / restyling 1.0 MT 67 hp 14.2 s (same figure on 1 generation 1.0 MT 50 kW and 1 generation 1.0 TFT 14.2 s); 2 generation 1.0 MT 14.3 s; 1 generation 1.0 TFT 14.7 s; 3 generation 1.0 CVT 14.8 s; restyling 2 1.0 TFT and restyling 1.0 TFT both powers 14.9 s; 1 generation 1.0 MT 49 kW 14.9 s; 1 generation 1.4 MT 1398 cm³ 15.0 s; restyle 1.0 DCT KR-FE 15.2 s; 2 generation 1.0 TFT 15.5 s; 3 generation 1.0 MT 15.6 s; restyling 1.4 MT both kerbs 16.8 s; 1 generation 1.4 MT 1399 cm³ 16.8 s.

The robotic/automatic tax inside a generation: restyle +1.4 s (13.8 vs 15.2); 2 generation +1.2 s (14.3 vs 15.5); restyling 2 +0.7 s (14.2 vs 14.9). 3 generation reverses that: 1.0 CVT is 0.8 s faster than 1.0 MT (14.8 vs 15.6) even though it is 25 kg heavier. If you want two-pedal Aygo and care about 0–100, 1.0 CVT beats every Robotic Aygo except none — it also beats its own manual.

Top speed: 160 km/h on all 2 generation and restyle petrols; 158 3 generation 1.0 MT; 157 first-generation petrols; 154 most 1.4 MT; 151 1.0 CVT; 145 1 generation 1.4 MT 1398 cm³. The CVT is the slowest petrol on top speed (151 vs 157–160).

Fuel (L/100 km). Combined, best measured petrol: 3.8 on 2 generation 1.0 MT and on 1 generation 1.0 MT 49 kW. Restyle both boxes: 4.2. Restyling 2 1.0 MT: 4.5. Restyling 2 1.0 TFT and restyling 1.0 TFT both powers: 4.6. 3 generation both: 5. Diesels combined 4.1 (all four 1.4 MT rows). Highway diesel 3.4 or 3.5; restyle petrol highway 3.8; 2 generation 1.0 MT highway 3.4.

Not measured: 2 generation 1.0 TFT city, highway, combined; 1 generation 1.0 MT 50 kW city, highway, combined; 3 generation city and highway (combined is 5). CO2 not measured except restyle 95 g/km and 3 generation 113 g/km — +18 g/km for the later 72 hp cars.

Tank is 35 L on every version. Approximate combined range (35 × 100 / combined): 2 generation 1.0 MT and 1 generation 1.0 MT 49 kW ≈ 921 km; restyle ≈ 833 km; diesel 4.1 ≈ 854 km; 3 generation 5 ≈ 700 km. The newest Aygo has the shortest documented combined range.

Dimensions, weight and clearance

Kerb, lightest to heaviest among measured figures: 790 kg (several 1.0 TFT and the light 1.4 MT / 1.0 MT 68 hp); 800 kg (several 1.0 MT); 840 kg restyle 1.0 MT; 855 kg 2 generation 1.0 MT; 860 kg 1.0 DCT KR-FE; 890 kg heavy 1.4 MT; 930 kg 2 generation 1.0 TFT; 940 kg 3 generation 1.0 MT; 965 kg 1.0 CVT.

kg per hp: restyle 1.0 MT 840/72 = 11.7; restyling 1.0 MT 68 hp 790/68 = 11.6; restyling 2 1.0 TFT 790/67 = 11.8; 2 generation 1.0 MT 855/69 = 12.4; 1.0 DCT KR-FE 860/72 = 11.9; 3 generation 1.0 MT 940/72 = 13.1; 1.0 CVT 965/72 = 13.4; 2 generation 1.0 TFT 930/69 = 13.5; heavy diesel 890/54 = 16.5; light diesel 790/54 = 14.6. The 3 generation 72 hp cars carry 1.4–1.7 kg more per horsepower than restyle 1.0 MT.

Gross weight: 1240 kg on 2 generation, restyle, and some first-gen petrols; 1190 kg on several 1.0 MT; 1160 kg on several 1.0 TFT and the 68 hp 1.0 MT; 1245 kg on diesels. 3 generation gross is not measured. Payload (gross − kerb) where both exist: restyle 1.0 MT 400 kg; 1.0 DCT KR-FE 380 kg; 2 generation 1.0 MT 385 kg; 2 generation 1.0 TFT 310 kg; restyling 2 1.0 MT 390 kg; restyling 2 1.0 TFT 370 kg; heavy diesel 355 kg; light restyling diesel 455 kg. 2 generation 1.0 TFT has the smallest payload of those pairs.

Ground clearance: 135 mm (2 generation both); 129 mm (3 generation both); 121 mm (restyling 1.0 TFT 68 hp, 1.0 MT 68 hp, restyling 1.4 MT 890 kg, 1 generation 1.0 MT 49 kW); 118 mm (1.0 DCT KR-FE). All other clearance values are not measured, including restyle 1.0 MT. If you need the highest measured figure, that is 2 generation, not the restyle and not 3 generation.

Wheels not measured except restyle 1.0 MT (165/60 R15, 165/65 R14). Rear suspension English label in the data is Semi-independent, springorts hélicoïdaux, sem on every version; front is Independent, spring. Rear brakes Drum throughout. Tank 35 L throughout.

Which version to choose

Default buy: 2 generation, restyling 1.0 MT (72 hp). Fastest 0–100 (13.8 s), highest petrol power with the lowest kerb at that power (840 kg), Euro 6, documented 95 g/km, combined 4.2, wheels measured. Specific output 72.1 hp/L, 11.7 kg/hp. That is the arithmetic peak of the petrol manual.

Two-pedal in the same generation: 1.0 DCT KR-FE. Same 72 hp, +4 Nm (97 vs 93), same 4.2 / 4.9 / 3.8, same Euro 6 and 95 g/km. You pay +20 kg, +1.4 s, clearance 118 mm (the lowest measured), wheels not measured. Buy it only if Robotic is required; the numbers do not reward the gearbox.

Lowest measured petrol use: 2 generation 1.0 MT (69 hp). Combined 3.8, highway 3.4, city 4.5, Euro 5, CO2 not measured, 14.3 s, 855 kg, clearance 135 mm. Versus restyle 1.0 MT: −3 hp, −0.4 L/100 km combined, +0.5 s, +15 kg. If fuel is the only scoreboard, this version wins among cars with a full city/highway/combined set in generation 2.

Do not buy 2 generation 1.0 TFT unless you accept not measured fuel, 930 kg, and 15.5 s. It is 75 kg heavier than the manual beside it for the same 69 hp.

Newest: 3 generation 1.0 MT or 1.0 CVT. Both 72 hp / 52 kW, 996 cm³, 5 L/100 km combined, 113 g/km, city/highway not measured, gross not measured, boost not measured. 1.0 MT is the slowest 72 hp car to 100 km/h (15.6 s). 1.0 CVT is the only Variable Aygo and the fastest two-pedal 0–100 (14.8 s), but top speed is 151 km/h and kerb 965 kg. Versus restyle 1.0 MT, 3 generation 1.0 MT is 100 kg heavier, 1.8 s slower, 0.8 L/100 km thirstier combined, 18 g/km more CO2. The later car does not buy performance or economy on these figures.

First generation petrols (2005–2014). Same 67 hp (or 68 hp in restyling) 1.0 MT / 1.0 TFT story: Manual is usually quicker (14.2 vs 14.9 on restyling 2). Eco class not measured, CO2 not measured. If you stay here, pick 1 generation 1.0 MT 67 hp / 49 kW for combined 3.8 (matching 2 generation 1.0 MT on that one number) or restyling 2 1.0 MT 67 hp for 800 kg and 14.2 s. Distinguish duplicate names: 1 generation, restyling 1.0 MT 67 hp vs 1.0 MT 68 hp; 1.0 TFT 67 hp vs 1.0 TFT 68 hp. The 68 hp cars add 1 hp and 1 kW with the same 14.2 / 14.9 s and the same 4.5 / 4.6 combined as the 67 hp twins in that generation; clearance is 121 mm on the 68 hp pair and not measured on the 67 hp pair.

Diesel: 1.4 MT only (1 generation and 1 generation, restyling). 54 hp, 130 Nm, Turbo, 4 Inline, 2 valves, Manual 5. Combined 4.1 is better than most first-gen petrols’ 4.5–4.6 and worse than 2 generation 1.0 MT 3.8. Highway 3.4 (restyling) or 3.5 (original). The useful split is mass and speed: restyling 1.4 MT 890 kg, city 5.5, 16.8 s, 154 km/h, bore/stroke not measured; restyling 1.4 MT 790 kg, city 5.3, 16.8 s, 154 km/h, bore 73.7 × 82; 1 generation 1.4 MT 1399 cm³ 890 kg, city 6, 16.8 s, 154 km/h; 1 generation 1.4 MT 1398 cm³ 790 kg, city 6, 15.0 s, 145 km/h. The last one is the only diesel under 16 s and the only one at 145 km/h. Buy diesel only for 130 Nm at 1750 rpm; you give away 13–18 hp versus later petrols and, on three of four rows, more than 16 s to 100 km/h.

Reliability / problems (what the numbers allow). There are no failure-rate figures in the data. What is documented: every Aygo here is FWD Mini 5-doors with Drum rear brakes and a 35 L tank. Petrol injection is Distributed injection (multi-point) wherever measured; diesel injection is not measured. Robotic versions are consistently heavier and slower except 3 generation 1.0 CVT. Euro 6 exists only from 2 generation, restyling onward (plus 3 generation). Euro 5 is 2 generation only. Earlier eco class is not measured. Choosing a later petrol buys a higher eco label and, at restyle, more power; choosing 3 generation also buys more mass and more combined fuel.

Short list. Fastest and strongest manual: restyle 1.0 MT. Same power, two pedals: 1.0 DCT KR-FE. Only CVT: 3 generation 1.0 CVT. Least combined petrol (measured): 2 generation 1.0 MT or 1 generation 1.0 MT 49 kW. Highest clearance: 2 generation (135 mm). Only diesel torque: 1.4 MT, preferring the 790 kg 1398 cm³ original if 0–100 15.0 s matters, or the 790 kg restyling 1.4 MT if city 5.3 and 154 km/h matter. Skip 2 generation 1.0 TFT if you need a fuel figure: it is not measured.
