Detailed analysis of the Toyota Aygo 5p 1.0 VVT-i "Aygo" · 68 CV (2007-2008)
General description
The 2005 Toyota Aygo, in its 5-door version with the 1.0 VVT-i engine, is presented as a compact and efficient urban option. Priced at 8,600 euros at its launch, this model aimed to conquer the small car segment with a practical approach and a youthful design. Its 68 hp gasoline engine, combined with a 5-speed manual gearbox, promised agility in the city and contained consumption.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel of the Aygo, the predominant sensation is that of an agile and easy-to-handle car. Its compact size and electric power steering make it ideal for navigating traffic and parking in tight spaces. The 1.0-liter engine, although not a powerhouse, responds with enough verve for the urban environment, offering 0 to 100 km/h acceleration in 14.2 seconds. On the road, its behavior is predictable, although the McPherson type suspensions at the front and trailing arm with torsional element at the rear, along with 155/65 R14 tires, prioritize city comfort over sportiness. The combined consumption of 4.6 l/100km is one of its strong points, making every trip economical.
Design and aesthetics
The design of the 2005 Toyota Aygo is fresh and carefree, with lines that seek to maximize interior space despite its reduced dimensions (3405 mm long, 1615 mm wide, and 1465 mm high). The 5-door version adds extra practicality. The front is friendly and recognizable, while the rear, with its glass tailgate, gives it a distinctive touch. Inside, simplicity and functionality are key, with a well-organized dashboard and materials that, although simple, fulfill their function. The four seats offer reasonable space for its category, and the 139-liter trunk is sufficient for daily shopping.
Technology and features
In the technology section, the 2005 Toyota Aygo focuses on the essential and functional. Its 998 cc gasoline engine, with 3 cylinders and 12 valves, incorporates indirect injection and a compression ratio of 11, seeking efficiency. Electric power steering facilitates maneuvers. In terms of safety, it has 247 mm ventilated disc brakes on the front axle and 200 mm drums on the rear. Although it does not incorporate the latest active safety innovations of current models, it meets the standards of its time, offering basic but effective equipment for daily driving.
Competition
The 2005 Toyota Aygo faced tough competition in the urban segment. Its main rivals were the Citroën C1 and the Peugeot 107, with which it shared a platform and many components, the result of a collaboration between the three manufacturers. Other direct competitors included the Renault Twingo, the Fiat Panda, and the Volkswagen Fox, all of them seeking to offer the best combination of size, price, and efficiency for the city. The Aygo stood out for Toyota's reputation for reliability and a design with its own personality.
Conclusion
The 2005 Toyota Aygo 5p 1.0 VVT-i is a car that more than fulfills its purpose: to be an agile, economical, and practical urban car. Its youthful design, ease of handling, and low consumption make it a very attractive option for those looking for a vehicle for daily use in the city. Although it is not a car for great performance, its 68 hp engine offers the necessary power to move around with ease. It is an honest car, without great luxuries, but with the reliability and efficiency expected from the Toyota brand, ideal for those who value functionality and savings.
