The Toyota Aygo is getting a new version for the 2022 model year and has been given an additional letter to signify the multitude of changes. Now called the Aygo X, it’s much larger than the small hatchback it was two generations old, with added ground clearance.
That said, the Aygo X is still an urban crawler, but that doesn’t mean the moose test standards will be lowered for the city car. How did the new Toyota raise the price of hatchbacks in the dreaded Moose Test? As led by Spain km77.com, the Toyota Aygo X did not pass the criteria of said safety check.

At the reference speed of 77 kilometers per hour (47.8 miles per hour), the Aygo X failed to complete the evasive maneuver. As seen in the video embedded above, the understeer was quite apparent, preventing the tailgate from returning to its lane. In a real-life scenario, the sedan will be able to avoid a sudden obstacle in the road at 77 km/h, but it risks hitting oncoming traffic because it failed to get back into the correct lane.
It should be noted that the Aygo X is not a powerful vehicle, with its three-cylinder engine producing only 72 horsepower (54 kilowatts) and 69 pound-feet (93 Newton-meters) of torque.
The results were the same with other speeds; the fastest attempt without the Aygo X hitting a cone was 70 km/h (43.5 mph), which is well below the canal’s reference speed.
According to the presenter, the Aygo X’s ESC reacted slowly, so there was no reduction in speed when he started the maneuver, which meant weaker traction. The Aygo X also used a set of Michelin e-Primacy tires focusing on efficiency, ergonomics and poor grip performance when needed. These two factors resulted in the Aygo X failing to pass km77.com’s moose test.
