Meet Toyota’s Tiny Hybrid: Aygo X Will be Launched in Europe Soon
JohnJun 03, 2025, 12:29 PM
【PCauto】Toyota has unveiled its all-new model, the Aygo X Hybrid, positioned as the smallest hybrid hatchback in the Toyota lineup, is scheduled to be launched in the European market by the end of this year.
Compact Body Paired with 1.0L Hybrid System, Emissions Expected Below 90g/km
Marking Toyota’s first application of hybrid technology in the A0-segment micro car category, the Aygo X Hybrid combines compact dimensions with agile driving characteristics, maintaining a body length under 3.7 meters.
The powertrain features a 1.0-liter three-cylinder gasoline engine paired with an electric motor, delivering an estimated combined output between 70 to 80 horsepower. The system utilizes advanced nickel-metal hydride battery technology (rather than lithium-ion). Although Toyota has not yet released official emission figures, industry experts anticipate CO2 emissions below 90g/km – a significant improvement from the current gasoline-powered Aygo X’s 99g/km level, thanks to its hybrid configuration.
Priced Under €20,000 to Comply with EU Environmental Regulations
The launch of the Aygo X Hybrid is strategically targeted to meet market demands under Europe’s stringent emission standards. Faced with the EU’s 2035 ban on new internal combustion engine vehicles, there remains strong demand for affordable, fuel-efficient models in the compact vehicle segment.
The Aygo X Hybrid targets the market gap between fully electric vehicles (such as Toyota’s own bZ series) and traditional gasoline cars. With an expected starting price below 20,000 euros, it offers a price advantage compared to similar electric models (such as the Dacia Spring, which starts at approximately 25,000 euros), making it appealing to budget-conscious young consumers or urban family users.
CO2 Emissions Lower Than French Hybrid Competitors
In this segment, the Aygo X Hybrid directly competes with models like the Peugeot 208 Hybrid (1.2L hybrid, 104g/km) and Renault Clio Hybrid (1.6L hybrid, 98g/km). If Toyota can achieve officially certified emissions below 90g/km, it would gain a significant competitive advantage in emission metrics. Such ultra-low emission levels would also help users avoid urban environmental charges like London’s Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ).
However, the challenges cannot be ignored: The Aygo X Hybrid’s compact A0-segment dimensions may compromise trunk space due to battery placement for the hybrid system. Additionally, managing vibration and noise from the three-cylinder engine presents notable engineering difficulties.
