Aygo is a small car with limited equipments as we have in Citroen C 1. Safety measures are also selective and choosy ones. Toyota Aygo has three out of five star ratings of Euro NCAP.
These small cars have very short space to use so experts have noticed that in front impact driver’s chest might be hit by the steering wheel. Though there are airbags available for the driver and front passenger, but due to short space there is not enough time to activate the airbags properly in any front impact.
Despite its design looks small and short but it offers good and reasonable passenger space at front and rear as well. In three and five-door models the high roof gives healthy head room for all passengers.
Leg room at rear are not good enough but affordable according to the size of the car. Boot space is just 138-Litres but thanks to 50/50 rear bench folding system that gives some extra space to use.
