But also, this car It is taller than a traditional urban and is a real lighter.
As some of you were already suspecting, that car is the Toyota Aygo X Cross, launched last year. The Aygo X Cross is a very small car, in segment A: it measures 3.70 meters in length and has five doors. At 1.51 meters tall and with an adventurous-looking aesthetic, it is a car that Toyota sells as a crossover. It doesn’t have a great ground clearance, but its seats are located 55 mm higher than those of the previous Toyota Aygo X. In short, it is a city car somewhat higher than a traditional city car.

Of the Toyota Aygo X Cross we must also mention its good rear width, without forgetting that it is approved for four seats, not five. It is also fair to praise a 230 liter trunk, a satisfactory volume for such a small car. The version on offer is an access Play finish.
Its equipment is well above the segment average in access versions.
This finish has equipment, fortunately, very extensive. At this point it is where it differs the most from the access versions of the Italian urban, or even from the most basic Hyundai i10.
