The metallic paintwork is offered in addition to the four “spice” themed shades with which this special version of the all-new compact urban crossover was launched in November 2022 – Juniper Blue, Chilli Red, Ginger Beige and Cardamom Green. As well as the bodywork, the colour is used as a contrast highlight on two of the spokes on the 18-inch matt black alloy wheels

The exterior colour carries through to the cabin with matching upper door trims, air vent surrounds and the centre console frame. It is also picked up in the contrast accents on the black fabric seat upholstery.

The Aygo X Air Edition comes with a full-length, power-retracting canvas roof as standard. In other respect, its equipment specification matches the regular Aygo X Edge, including multimedia system with eight-inch touchscreen and smartphone integration (Apple CarPlay and Android Auto), automatic wipers, reversing camera, front fog lights and front and rear parking sensors.

There’s also the benefit of Toyota Safety Sense active safety and driver assistance features, including Pre-Collision System, Emergency Steering Assist, Automatic High Beam, intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Trace Assist and Road Sign Assist. There is also a Driver Alert system that sounds a warning if it detects driver fatigue or a lapse in attention.

The Aygo X Air Edition is available to purchase exclusively online, via the www.toyota.co.uk website. The simple and secure process allows customers to specify their vehicle and, if required make appropriate arrangements for part exchange of their current car and organise finance. The on-the-road prices are £19,365 for the Air Edition with manual transmission, £20,545 for the automatic.
