[Auto] The new delivery of the Toyota Aygo continues on its way without the PSA Group

[#Steeven.™]

The micro urban segment is one of the most complex in the automotive sector. Developing a vehicle of this type involves a high economic cost that, in many cases, does not translate into benefits. The proof is in how the Volkswagen Group has stretched the e-Up! or Mii. To all this must be added the transformation that this industry is experiencing. Thus it is not strange to see very curious tactical movements.

One of them has to do with the break between the now defunct PSA Group and Toyota. This has resulted in the Japanese being left alone to develop a new generation of Toyota Aygo. The Gauls will abandon segment A, as it will be Fiat who will be responsible for covering it. But they will not leave this part of the market alone and the proof is that the development of the new Aygo is going well. So much so that he can be seen dressed in camouflage.

The new Toyota Aygo will follow the aesthetic and technical path of the renewed Yaris

Thanks to the guys from Auto Express we have been able to see how the work of the new Aygo is progressing. The units his photographers have captured are still laden with camouflage. However, they do not hide some aspects of their design and final format. If there is no change against it, it seems that it will follow the same aesthetic path that the last generation of the Yaris has released. That is, it will have a strong hatchback body.

This last data collides with the rumors that there were. All pointed to an SUV body and attractive design. However, it seems that its creators have chosen to maintain a more traditional format to maintain their image. However, this evolution will also translate into a larger exterior size. The growth will not be exponential but it will be enough to improve the interior habitability and the capacity of the trunk.

In addition, this gain will also be transferred to the technical section, especially due to the adoption of a new platform. It will be an adaptation of the TNGA-B that the Yaris debuted and will allow it to adopt cleaner and more frugal mechanics. The question is whether the third generation Toyota Aygo will go to full electrification or will stay on the road. At the moment we know that under its hood it will have a gasoline mechanic.

It is still unknown if it will be a hybrid like the Yaris or will bet on a simpler technical solution to contain production costs. We will have to be patient and wait for the evolution of events.
