Review Spec Price and Manual

Launched in 2005 at the heart of the growing A-segment, the Toyota Aygo offered Europeans a radical new alternative for stylish urban mobility.

Rejecting the commonly held stereotype that compact could only mean pragmatic and economical, the Aygos revolutionary design re-defined perceptions of what small could be.

Extensively revised at the end of 2008, the Toyota Aygo quickly established a solid reputation in the A-segment for space-efficient packaging, reliability and value for money, with over 580,000 units sold to date.

Designed and built in Europe, the new Aygo continues to set the highest standards for interior roominess and driving enjoyment in the compact car segment.

A stronger Toyota design execution, a revised interior with new colour schemes, enhanced infotainment connectivity, improvements to ride comfort and cabin quietness, and the addition of paddle shift control to MultiMode transmission versions.

A new, ECO version of the Toyota Aygo is available, offering improved fuel efficiency and generating CO2 emissions of just 99 g/km.

The Toyota Aygo offers customers outstandingly low ownership costs. It achieves excellent insurance classifications in Germany (15) and the UK (3E), which lect its very reasonable repair costs. It also features a remarkably low cumulative maintenance time of just 5.1 hours after 100,000 km.

For added peace of mind, Toyota offers every new Aygo with a 3 year (or 100,000 km - whichever comes first) pan-European warranty. The Aygo also comes with 12 years corrosion cover.

Driven by rising fuel prices and increasingly stringent environmental legislation, current downsizing trends suggest that the highly competitive and ever more fragmented A-segment is one of the few areas of the automotive market expected to grow in the coming years.

In 2011, Toyota sold more than 85,000 Aygos. The new Aygo will be on sale throughout Europe from early spring 2012.

MORE DYNAMIC EXTERIOR DESIGN
The new Toyota Aygo offers A-segment customers the ideal combination of interior roominess and driving enjoyment in the most compact possible package.

At 3,430 mm, the new Aygo is just 15 mm longer than its predecessor. Yet short front and rear overhangs, a long, 2,340 mm wheelbase and a broad overall width of 1,615 mm create a surprisingly spacious, practical interior, whilst giving the Aygo the stable stance, agile handling and small, 4.73 m turning circle essential to urban manoeuvrability.

While maintaining the friendliness and sense of fun inherent in the current models styling, the new Toyota Aygo features a stronger, more dynamic front design. It combines improved aerodynamics and engine cooling with Toyotas new, Under Priority frontal design language.

The distinctive new face of the next generation Toyota family, Under Priority places the design emphasis on an enlarged lower grille to focus attention on the bottom half of the car for a distinctive, more assertive appearance.

Housing this large, trapezoidal, radiator air intake, the front bumper has been widened and the new, integral foglamps positioned at the bumper extremities, giving the new Aygo a wide stance and a strong road presence.

Set within the lower extremities of the grille, optional LED daytime running lamps complete the new, Under Priority frontal signature of the new Aygo.

The new front bumper design also enhances the aerodynamic performance of the new Aygo. The position of the integral front spoiler has been moved forwards by 70 mm and all openings, as well as the front wheel arch periphery, have been shaped to smooth the flow of air into and around the front of the vehicle, improving fuel efficiency.

Above a more slender form of the familiar, friendly upper grille, a new bonnet design has been shaped to create greater volume in the middle section, strengthening the new Toyota Aygos road presence.

Privacy glass is available for the rear glazing of both 3- and 5-door versions of the new Aygo, and a new 14" steel wheel cap design is available in addition to the existing 14" 5- and 6-spoke alloys. A choice of eight exterior colours includes two new to the Aygo model range; Vibrant Metallic Orange and Bronze Mica.

UPGRADED SENSORIAL QUALITY
Combining a sense of fun with more mature finishes of a higher perceived quality, both upper and lower sections of the dashboard are now finished in Dark Grey, bringing a greater feeling of integration to the new Toyota Aygo interior.

A newly designed steering wheel is finished in leather and is now available with manual paddle shift controls for the optional MultiMode Transmission (MMT). Both MMT and new manual gear knobs are also available in leather.

The trim rings of the speedometer, tachometer and air vents are now available in a choice of Grey, Orange or Black, and the front door speaker features a new grille with a choice of Silver or Orange trim ring.

New Aygo is available with a choice of two audio systems. A 35 Watt AM/FM/CD system features a choice of two or four speakers and an AM/FM/CD unit which incorporates Bluetooth hands-free mobile phone connectivity, a multi-language display and a USB port for the connection of portable music players such as the iPod.

Further improving the practicality and convenience of the new Aygo, the opening angle of the rear parcel shelf has been increased to improve access to the loadspace.

A special, Vibrant Metallic Orange launch edition of the new Toyota Aygo features body-coloured trim rings for the speedometer, air vents and for both the optional tachometer and door speakers.

IMPROVED EFFICIENCY AND RIDE CsayaFORT
Due to price sensitivity and low average mileage, petrol currently dominates the A-segment, accounting for 85% of the sales mix.

The new Aygo is equipped with Toyotas remarkable, 3-cylinder, 1.0 litre VVT-i petrol engine. Combining light weight and compact design with the power and torque delivery essential to urban driving, the Euro V compliant engine returns highly competitive fuel consumption figures and generates low, tax-efficient CO2 emissions.

A marvel of miniaturisation, the all-aluminium, 3-cylinder, 1.0 litre petrol unit led the trend for powertrain downsizing. To this day, it remains a erence for compact, efficient engineering. At only 67 kg it is one of the lightest units in its class and has won successive Engine of the Year awards in the sub-1.0 litre category.

Toyota engineers have worked continuously to improve the performance and fuel efficiency of the engine, whilst lowering emissions with every successive upgrade. This latest version of the 998 cc unit benefits from a revised combustion chamber shape which increases the compression ratio from 10.5 to 11.0:1, improving combustion efficiency. Iridium-tipped spark plugs have also been adopted for their greater durability.

Mated to a 5-speed manual transmission, the 3-cylinder VVT-i engine generates 50 kW/ 68 DIN hp at 6,000 rpm and maximum torque of 93 Nm at 3,600 rpm. Fuel consumption has been lowered to 4.4 l/100 km, and CO2 emissions are just 102 g/km.

A new, ECO version of the Aygo is available for the first time. It is equipped with a longer 3rd gear ratio and fitted with low RRC (Rolling Resistance Coefficient) tyres, which reduce rolling resistance by 14%. This improves fuel efficiency without impairing ride comfort, manoeuvrability or braking performance. Fuel consumption is reduced to 4.3 l/100 km and CO2 is lowered to just 99gr/km.

Available as an option on the new Toyota Aygo, MultiMode is an automated manual transmission with a fully automatic shift mode and no clutch pedal. It uses computer control to manage the engine, clutch and transaxle for quick, precise shifting.

Selecting E (Economy), M (Manual) or R (Reverse) allows the car to creep in the manner of a conventional automatic. In E mode, the car makes automatic gear shifts that will maximise fuel economy. Selecting M mode allows the driver to manually change gear via either the gear lever itself or -for the first time on Aygo- with steering wheel-mounted paddle shift switches.

When equipped with MultiMode Transmission, the 1.0 VVT-i Aygo returns fuel consumption of 4.5 l/100km and generates CO2 emissions of only 104 g/km.

With a lightweight body shell (over 50% of which is fabricated in high tensile steel) and short front and rear overhangs, the new Toyota Aygo has been engineered to excel in the urban environment.

Speed-sensitive, fuel-efficient, Electric Power Steering (EPS) equips the new Aygo with a very tight, 4.73 metre turning circle, offering customers the ideal combination of agility and manoeuvrability.

Providing a perfect balance of ride comfort, stability and go-cart-like handling enjoyment, the new Aygo uses a proven, MacPherson strut front suspension system, and an inverted-V profile torsion beam to the rear, which brings considerable advantages in weight and torsional stiffness.

The damping force of both front and rear shock absorbers has been adjusted to promote even greater ride comfort without compromising the cars dynamic abilities and engaging handling.

Building on the comprehensive Noise, Vibration and Harshness (NVH) improvements introduced in the current car, the new Toyota Aygo benefits from a revised clutch pre-damper system to reduce noise and vibration from the drive line.

The addition of a high density bonnet insulator -located to provide an air space between the bonnet panels- reduces the transmission of noise from the engine bay, further improving cabin quietness.

Innovative New Renault Clio Estate breaks new ground on the sports tourer market, with its attractive styling inspired by range-topping models.

The athletic bodyshape contains all the functionality and modularity expected of segment B estates. The roomy 443dm3 VDA boot can be extended to a full 1,380dm3 by folding down the 1/3 - 2/3 split rear bench seat. When the front passenger seat is folded flat, New Renault Clio Estate boasts an unmatched loading length of 2.48m from the tailgate to the glove compartment.

New Renault Clio Estate offers all the qualities of the New Clio hatch, from comfort and safety, to vitality, features worthy of higher segments and two multimedia options. It heralds the launch of R-Link, Renaults multimedia tablet that forms an innovative link between the car and a networked lifestyle. The catalog of R-Link apps is unparalleled on the automotive market, and is available right from system launch.

New Clio Estate is equipped with a selection of latest-generation engines, including the Energy TCe 90 3-cylinder petrol unit and the Diesel Energy dCi 90 powerplant, which consumes just 3.2 l per 100km and is on a par with hybrids in terms of CO2 emissions, outputting just 83 g / km.

The renewed engine range is completed by the arrival of the EDC dual-clutch gearbox, which will be available on the TCe 120 engine in the first half of 2013, and on the dCi 90 at a later date.

INSPIRED BY SHOOTING BRAKES
Renault has added an original take on an estate to its New Clio range that continues the brands drive towards irresistibly attractive styling. New Clio Estate arrives hot on the heels of New Clio hatch, the first vehicle in the range that fully expressed the renewal of Renault Design, initiated by Laurens van den Acker. With its reshingly attractive lines and distinctive personality, inspired by sports tourers from higher up the range, New Clio Estate is clearly the second descendant of DeZir.

ELEGANT AND PRACTICAL
New Renault Clio Estate was one of the major revelations on the Renault stand at the 2012 Paris Motor Show. While it shares the same dynamic breeding as the hatchback, New Renault Clio Estate has its very own identity, with its caully honed and fluid silhouette. Measuring 4.267m in length, this compact break is both high on style and accommodating. The wheelbase is the same as the hatchback, but at 825mm, the rear overhang is 204mm longer.

Research reveals that estate-car customers are strongly drawn towards the aesthetic design cues of shooting brakes. New Renault Clio Estate certainly has that style, along with practicality and versatility for good measure.

With its long bonnet and pronounced shoulder line, the profile flows smoothly to the rear, where the straight tailgate emphasizes the volume of the boot. As on the hatchback, the rear door handles are concealed in the C-pillars. The quarter light uprights and center pillars are integrated in the glass surfaces, producing an impression of harmonious continuity. The tailgate is topped by a curved wing above the rear window that elongates and stretches the line of the roof, which appears to float elegantly.

The new Clio Estate is also fitted with roof bars (aluminum in certain finishes) that blend in with the roof line. The optional glass roof makes for an even brighter interior.

UNMATCHED PERSONALIZATION
With New Renault Clio Estate, personalization finally comes naturally to a genuine sports tourer, and is available to the greatest number and in the top-selling versions.

The personalization offer is made up of three distinctive finishes - Trendy, Elegant and Sport - and a range of configurations of external hues, one dominant color for the decor and wheels, plus a graphic theme. Personalization was built into New Renault Clio Estate right from the drawing board, enhancing the cars strong personality with zones dedicated to the custom features that were reserved as part of the vehicles design process. The mid-range versions can be personalized too, for an attractive and modular offer, and the factoryinstallation of the custom features guarantees incomparable quality.

For the exterior
    Gloss black lacquer on the door mirror housings, rear bumper apron and side protective moldings, plus five different shades for the trim on the grille, rear hatch and side protective moldings (chrome, black, red, blue or ivory).
    Black and ivory for the 16" diamond-effect wheels, plus four colors for the 17" diamond-effect wheels (black, red, blue and ivory).

For the interior

COLORS
Like the hatch version, New Renault Clio Estate will be available from launch in a choice of eight body colors, including the distinctive launch color, Flame Red, which takes its inspiration from the DeZir concept car.

    Non-metallic finishes: Glacier White, French blue, Inca Yellow
    Metallic finishes: Ardent Brown, Diamond Black, Flame Red, Mercury Grey, Oyster Grey

NEW CLIO ESTATE ADDS VOLUME TO EMOTION
Style and functionality come together in harmony in New Renault Clio Estate. The readily 443dm3 boot can be extended to a full 1,380dm3. The maximum loading length of 2.48m sets a new record in the segment, thanks to the passenger seat that can be folded flat towards the front of the vehicle. Even the passengers in the rear have more space, with an extra 15mm of headroom compared with the hatchback.

THE MOST PRACTICAL CLIO OF ALL

The highly modular New Renault Clio Estate will appeal to customers looking for a bold design and advanced functionality.

The boot measures 443dm3 under the rear shelf, with the rear bench seat in position and the floor removed, a full 143dm3, or 50%, more than the hatchback, of which 85dm3 is under the extractible floor in the boot. When the 1/3 - 2/3 split rear bench seat is completely folded away, the boot measures 1,380dm3.

Access to the boot is made easier by the exceptionally low loading sill, at a height of 604mm (150mm lower than in the hatchback), that is also flush, so that objects can slide rather than having to be lifted.

The tailgate opening is also larger than in the hatchback, measuring 685mm in height (+133 mm) and 994mm (+ 89mm) at its widest point. Bicycles and other large objects fit in the boot quite comfortably.

THE ADVANTAGES OF THE EXTRACTIBLE BOOT FLOOR
In position: the boot floor provides a flat loading surface that is flush with the boot sill.
Raised: ready access to objects concealed under the boot floor.
Extracted: adds 85dm3 to the volume of the boot.

THE INTELLIGENCE OF THE FLAT-FOLDING FRONT PASSENGER SEAT
The front passenger seat with a backrest that can be fully folded towards the dashboard is a specific feature of New Renault Clio Estate. Combined with the flat floor function, the fully folding passenger seat offers a "record-breaking" loading length of 2.48m in all versions. Furniture or long objects, such as surfboards, can be transported comfortably and easily: an exceptional feature in this type of supermini estate.

ROsayaY STORAGE CsayaPARTMENTS
New Clio Estate occupants benefit from plenty of practical stowage space located throughout the cabin:
    a tray in front of the gear lever which can hold items like a portable music player, mobile phone or portable CD player
    a large seven-liter glove box capable of containing a 1.5-litre bottle of water
    a 1.2-litre tray situated above the glove box for keys, a mobile phone, gate remote controls and a telephone
    three easy-to-access cup holders and additional stowage for small items between the seats at the foot of the centre console
    stowage in the optional central armrest (almost one liter)
    bins in each door designed to contain a 1.5-litre bottle of water

AND MORE HEADROsaya TOO
With an extra 15mm of headroom in the rear seats compared with the hatchback, New Renault Clio Estate offers even more space for family and friends.

THE SAME TECHNICAL QUALITIES AS THE HATCHBACK: ECONsayaY, CsayaFORT AND PERFORMANCE

New Renault Clio Estate boasts the same technical fundamentals and qualities as New Clio. The engines head the segment with the same fuel consumption figures as the hatchback, while delivering just as much pleasure at the wheel. New Clio Estate takes great care of its occupants and packs in the latest technology from Renault.

THE MOST FUEL-ECONsayaICAL PETROL AND DIESEL ENGINES
New Renault Clio Estate also innovates through the quality and fuel-economy of its engines, which place it in the foront of the estates in segment B:
    the brand new Renault Energy TCe 90 3-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine, combining performance and economy: homologated at 4.5l / 100km and 104g of CO2 / km.
    the best diesel on the market: the most fueleconomical version of the Renault Energy dCi 90 fitted with Stop&Start consumes just 3.2l / 100km and emits only 83g of CO2 / km (figures homologated according to NEDC regulations).
    the combination of the Efficient Dual Clutch transmission and the downsized TCe 120 EDC petrol engine, available in mid-2013, achieves moderate consumption while offering a dynamic drive. The EDC will be available with the dCi 90 engine in the course of 2013.

FUEL SAVINGS THROUGH ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY
Stop & Start: automatically stops the engine when the vehicle is at a standstill and in neutral.

Energy Smart Management (ESM): charges the battery when the demand for energy drops under braking and when decelerating.

Flap control: optimizes the vehicles aerodynamics by automatically adapting the air flow through the radiators to the engines cooling requirements.

A DYNAMIC, SAFE AND CsayaFORTABLE RIDE
New Renault Clio Estate has been specifically finetuned to offer the same quality of comfort and performance as the hatchback:
    The Macpherson-type front suspension is linked to a right-angled triangular lower wishbone with twin bushes. This configuration blends sharp handling with excellent comfort and minimizes the effect of longitudinal and transverse loads. A high level of transverse torsional stiffness also benefits road holding without compromising the cars ability to soak up longitudinal shocks, which is vital for the comfort of occupants.
    The rigid sub-frame guarantees responsive handling and also improves steering precision.
    The rear suspension comprises a programmeddeflection torsion beam with coil springs. To optimize cornering stability, an anti-roll bar is incorporated the deformable profile.
    Polyurethane bump stops for more progressive shock absorption.
    Very direct electric power steering (2.71 turns, lock to lock).
    Pendulum weights and carbon synchromesh rings that ensure faster, smoother gear changes.

FEATURES BEFITTING HIGHER SEGMENTS
Like every other generation of Renault Clio, New Renault Clio Estate stands out by packing in features that are brand new or usually only found in vehicles in higher segments.

Almost all of the engines are equipped with hill start assist. Every version is equipped with the cruise control-speed limiter, ESC, traction control, ABS, emergency brake assist and variable-rate electric power steering.

For greater comfort of use, all the versions are equipped with a keyless electronic card, a height- and depth-adjustable steering wheel, electric door mirrors and window lifts and one-touch indicator lights. Certain versions are equipped with automatic climate control complete with an active charcoal/carbon pollen filter and a toxicity sensor.

Every version of New Renault Clio Estate are fitted with the Renault Bass Reflex, which delivers the volume and listening enjoyment of a 30-litre home speaker enclosure. The bass frequencies are more powerful, while the saturation and distortion thresholds are pushed back.

All the radios feature the Bluetooth® function to make hands-free telephone calls and to listen to music stored on portable devices in audio streaming mode with topquality sound reproduction. All the radios are fitted with USB and jack ports. New Clio Estate also features a reversing camera connected to the multimedia systems.

The versions equipped with R-Link also benefit from 3D sound by Arkamys®. Thanks to special digital signal processing software, this system adds depth and texture to listening pleasure thanks to spatial positioning of the sound (selection of the zones covered by the sound inside the cab: for the driver only, for front occupants only or for all occupants).

TWO MULTIMEDIA SYSTEMS WITH THE LAUNCH OF RENAULT R-LINK
New Renault Clio Estate heralds the launch of Renault R-Link. This innovative integrated tablet is connected to both the car and the internet at the same time. It provides quick and easy access to a broad selection of useful services. A catalog containing some 50 apps is already available from the R-Link Store. These automotive-specific applications already cover a comprehensive range of fields. R-Link Store is already well placed to set the standard as an automotive application provider.
