Toyota Aygo
The Toyota Aygo — an ultra-compact city car co-developed with PSA Group (2005–2022), sharing its platform with the Peugeot 107/108 and Citroën C1.
Overview
The Toyota Aygo was introduced in 2005 as part of a joint project with PSA Group (Peugeot-Citroën). This trio — Toyota Aygo, Peugeot 107, and Citroën C1 — were produced at the same Czech factory (Kolín). Positioned as an A-segment city car, the Aygo gained popularity for its extremely compact dimensions, economical 1.0L 3-cylinder engine, and suitability for European urban driving.
The first generation (2005–2014) featured the 1KR-FE 1.0L (68 hp) engine. The second generation (2014–2022) received the updated 1KR-VVT 1.0L (72 hp) engine, a more modern design, and optional cabin equipment. Available in 3 and 5-door hatchback variants, the Aygo came with both manual and AMT (automated manual transmission) gearbox options.
In Azerbaijan, the Aygo is not officially sold but can be found as a European parallel import. Its extremely compact size, low fuel consumption (4–5 L/100km), and reliable Toyota engine make it an interesting choice for city driving. However, the AMT gearbox's occasional hesitant shifts, small boot space, and basic standard safety equipment should be considered by buyers.

| Citroën C1 | Same platform, affordable, efficient | Less brand recognition in Azerbaijan |
| Volkswagen Up! | Better build quality, 3-cylinder TSI, higher safety rating | Higher price, more expensive maintenance |
| Fiat 500 | Iconic design, premium feel, strong brand | Higher cost of ownership, less practical |

Aygo FAQ — Azerbaijan Buyers
How does the Aygo differ from the Yaris?
The Aygo is smaller than the Yaris — A-segment versus B-segment. The Aygo was co-developed with PSA Group and shares its platform with the Peugeot 107/Citroën C1. The Yaris is on a full Toyota platform with a larger cabin and more equipment options. The Aygo is more economical but smaller.
Is the Aygo available in Azerbaijan?
The Aygo is not officially sold in Azerbaijan but can be found through European parallel import. There is no official Toyota service support. PSA (Peugeot/Citroën) mechanics can also service this model.
Is the AMT gearbox reliable?
The AMT (automated manual transmission) in the Aygo operates on a clutch basis rather than like a conventional automatic. Shifts can sometimes be hesitant, especially in city traffic. The manual gearbox option provides a smoother driving experience.
Toyota Aygo ?
The Toyota Aygo is ideal in dense city traffic and areas where parking is a challenge. Extremely low fuel consumption, compact size, and reliable Toyota engine are the main strengths. However, spare parts can be hard to find in Azerbaijan without official service. Prefer a manual gearbox example.
