Toyota Aygo X Hybrid (2026) | Expert Rating

Summary

The Toyota Aygo X (pronounced ‘Aygo Cross’) is a crossover city car that challenges compact supermini rivals like the Fiat 500 and Hyundai i10. This is the newest petrol-electric hybrid version, which is now the only variant of the Aygo X you can buy new in the UK.

While Toyota defines this change to an updated hybrid model as a facelift and not a standalone model, we have decided to give the Aygo X Hybrid its own Expert Rating page due to the vastly different driving experience, and because the pre-facelift petrol-powered Aygo X is no longer on sale.

Now available to order in the UK, the Aygo X Hybrid has been given a warm reception by the British motoring media, with a collection of review scores that are greatly improved over the petrol Aygo X.

“The Toyota Aygo X now feels like it has the engine should have been available from the start”, says Car’s Ted Welford. “It’s considerably faster but also much more efficient.”

Likewise, the Top Gear team calls the car’s fuel economy “incredible”, and “positively rapid” when compared to the Aygo X, also praising the city car’s “nimble” steering and brakes. That said, they also criticise the car’s automatic gearbox, the lack of a manual option, and the price premium that comes with the car’s hybrid powertrain.

We are holding off on giving the Toyota a full Expert Rating score for the moment. Once UK-based review scores are published on the model, and we get our hands on running cost data for this model, we will update this page. Check back soon!

New car warranty information for the Toyota Aygo X Hybrid

Toyota’s new car warranty is essentially the minimum coverage manufacturers must offer by UK law, and worse than rival brands in a similar price bracket as the Aygo X.

The duration is three years, with a limit of 60,000 miles. In addition to the standard new car warranty, this hybrid version has an eight-year/100,000-mile warranty for the battery components.

Warranty on a used Toyota Aygo X Hybrid

• If you are buying an ‘Approved Used’ Toyota Aygo X from an official Toyota dealership, you will get a minimum one-year warranty included.
• If you are buying a used Toyota Aygo X from an independent dealership, any warranty offered will vary and will probably be managed by a third-party warranty company.
• If you are buying a used Toyota Aygo X from a private seller, there are no warranty protections beyond any remaining portion of the original new car warranty.

If you’re looking to buy any used car that is approaching the end of its warranty period, a used car warranty is usually a worthwhile investment. Check out The Car Expert’s guide to the best used car warranty providers, which will probably be cheaper than a warranty sold by a dealer.
