Super Toyota Aygo, super deal
Written By Richard Lawton Published On: Mar 16 2010Toyota’s super city car the Aygo has been a popular sight on UK roads since it began rolling off the production line in 2005.
Revised in 2009 at the heart of all Toyota Aygo’s is the award winning three-cylinder 1.0-litre VVT-i petrol engine incorporating Toyota Optimal Drive, a range of technologies that deliver greater efficiency, improved performance and lower emissions.
When the engine was first launched in Aygo in 2005, it produced 109g/km of CO2. By early 2008, this figure had been reduced to 108g/km and for the current Aygo it has fallen even further, to only 106g/km.
With its all-aluminium construction, the 1.0-litre VVT-i is the lightest internal combustion engine on the market, weighing just 67kg.
To provide better driveability in urban traffic, the development team worked to ensure strong torque at low to medium engine speeds by optimising the intake system, setting the appropriate manifold length and giving the intake ports a smaller diameter. The three-cylinder configuration also promotes the availability of torque in the low to mid-range, with less “metal” to move at lower speeds.
The engine remains remarkably fuel efficient, with consumption improved to 62.8mpg on combined cycle driving with the five-speed manual transmission.
