Toyota Aygo X-Cite (2017) Specs & Price

The Toyota Aygo compact hatchback range has been expanded to now include a convertible version. Here are the specs and pricing for the new Aygo X-Cite.

Toyota's Aygo is a budget-friendly hatchback which was a finalist in the Cars.co.za Consumer Awards as we were impressed with its value offering.

The Aygo is the result of a three-way tie in between Toyota, Peugeot and Citroen to build a compact city car. Peugeot has the 107 (although not offered in our market) and Citroen the C1 – the latter was available in South Africa until the brand was discontinued on the local market last year. Interestingly, the Citroen version was sold right from the beginning with the option of the convertible roof, while the Aygo was not.

Now Toyota sees a business case in offering its Aygo with a retractable roof and it's called the Aygo X-Cite. Locally, the Toyota Aygo X-Cite is only available with a black canvas roof. This roof is full-length, factory fitted and electronically operated.

In terms of power delivery, the 1.0-litre petrol engine is mated to a manual gearbox. This X-Cite comes standard with 15-inch alloy wheels, LED daytime running lights, Vehicle Stability Control and four airbags.

Aygo X-Cite: R189 500

Prices include a 3-year/100 000 km warranty. A service plan is optional.

Aygo X-Cite: R189 500

Overpriced mediocrity.

Overpriced mediocrity.

I agree with you most of these small cars are overpriced. Back in the days for R190k you could get a decent family car.

 

[FiestaST]

Overpriced mediocrity.

That's harsh. Have you seen the spec level on this model? Top notch.

Not everyone wants or needs a bigger car OR wants to buy 2nd hand. As a small runaround the cheaper Aygo; the Up! & the latest Picanto are my top 3 choices.

Watched the Ignition GT review of the Aygo X-Cite. Funky little thing...

 

[semisane1987]

Yeah I think it will be my next little car.

10 things you should know about Toyota's Aygo X-Cite

Toyota has added an exciting new derivative to its Aygo range and this one comes with street cred', writes Wheels24's Janine Van der Post as she drives the new X-Cite convertible.

Cape Town - The Western Cape is made for convertibles or at least a retractable sunroof. However, more often than not, previous droptops required the driver to pull over to the side of the road to open/close the roof.

Now, it takes less than as 15 seconds on the fly up to speeds of 40-60km/h.

A few years back, Fiat introduced its tiny 500c fitted with a retractable rooftop. The chic little number offered open-air motoring in a cute package.

Now, Toyota has given its adorable Aygo a similarly retractable roof in the form of its new X-Cite version.

I like it as well, just concerned its a bit like a french car underneath, so its prone to breakdowns
as all french cars usually do.

Have you owned a French car before?

 

[Jet-Fighter7700]

Have you owned a French car before?

heard enough stories, and know a bit about geography to know as they don't manufacture in SA,
the support is sub-par.

situation might improve as its badged a toyota, but underneath its a french car,

might be wrong though, lets wait and see.

 

[Ghoster79]

Its actually the other way around - its a Toyota base that the surrender monkeys added their bodies and badges to.
