PRODUCTION of the new Toyota Aygo is now under way and it will reach our roads in a few weeks. The manufacturing plant is currently producing around 300 vehicles a day, that’s one every 55 seconds, but in June will be working at full capacity, with 1,000 cars coming off the line every 24 hours.

New Aygo was unveiled at the Geneva motor show in March, and is powered by an improved version of Toyota’s award-winning three-cylinder 1.0-litre VVT-i petrol engine, offered with a choice of manual, or new x-shift automated manual transmissions.
