Toyota adds hybrid power to Aygo X

2026 Toyota Aygo X Hybrid

Toyota has electrified its Aygo X city car, with an overhauled  full-hybrid version on its way at the end of 2025.

The Toyota Aygo X Hybrid should be one of, if not the cleanest non-plug-in hybrid on the road with a claimed carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions figure of just 85g/km. It also gets more power than earlier versions of the Aygo X, with 116PS for a 0-62mph acceleration time of less than 10 seconds.

The hybrid system is the same powertrain used in the Yaris and Yaris Cross, and replaces the 1.0-litre petrol engine used in the current Aygo X.

The new car will also come in a GR Sport trim for the first time, with a more performance-orientated look.

New 2026 Toyota Aygo X Hybrid: price and release date

UK specs and prices for the new Toyota Aygo X Hybrid haven't yet been announced, but we know it'll go on sale here at the end of 2025. More details will be revealed nearer the time.

New 2025 Toyota Aygo X: exterior and interior

While the underpinnings of the new Aygo X have been dramatically overhauled, changes to the looks are less dramatic. The design has been tweaked with new body panels and bumpers, and various noise-reducing measures have been added for a quieter drive, including extra damping and insulation, with thicker glass and more soundproofing on higher-spec models.

New 17-inch or 18-inch alloy wheels will be available, with black flared wheel arches. Customers will have the option of bi-tone paint schemes, with Mustard, Cinnamon, Jasmine, Tarragon, and Lavender hues available – we're assured these are colours rather than scents. A "Canvas" patterned roof is also promised as an option on higher-spec models.

Inside, the dashboard has been refreshed with a new seven-inch digital display – with dials – for the temperature controls, and two USB-C charging points. There's new upholstery, including the plant-derived PVC material SakuraTouch. A new wireless smartphone charger is available on higher trim levels.

The revised Aygo X's hybrid powertrain will be the only one available, replacing the old 1.0-litre petrol engine. It uses a three-cylinder, 1.5-litre petrol engine with 116PS, mated to a battery and electric motor, which should let it run on electric-only power for short distances, particularly around town and in stop-start traffic. No fuel economy figure has been revealed yet, but Toyota promises CO2 emissions of 86g/km.

New 2026 Toyota Aygo X: trim levels

UK specs and trim levels haven't been confirmed yet, but we do know that one will be a GR Sport model, with beefed up looks inspired by Toyota Gazoo Racing motorsport teams, and with a "G-pattern" grille seen on other GR Toyota models. It gets special alloy wheels, black and grey accents and GR embroidery inside, and has tuned suspension and sharper steering for improved handling.
