Toyota has given the Aygo a facelift

Bolder front-end styling distinguishes the revised Aygo, which is due to arrive at Toyota dealers in July.

A choice of six trim grades will be offered. According to the manufacturer, each version is “tailored to appeal to the tastes and needs of different target customers” and there has been “a special focus on the high end of the segment”.

The range-topping x-clusiv, for example, features 15” twin-spoke alloy wheels and two-tone paintwork. Its generous specification also includes smart entry and start, part-leather upholstery, automatic air conditioning, an x-touch multimedia system and the Toyota Safety Sense suite of driver assistance technologies.

Every Aygo is powered by a 998 cc, three-cylinder petrol engine that develops 71 bhp (53 kW / 72 PS) plus 93 Nm (68 lb/ft) of peak torque.

With a five-speed manual gearbox, the result is a leisurely 0-62 mph (100 km/h) time of 13.8 seconds and 68.9 mpg (4.1 l/100km) on the combined cycle. Opting for an x-shift automated manual transmission instead sees those figures worsen to 15.2 seconds and 67.3 mpg (4.2 l/100km) respectively.

Saab 9-3 Aero Carlsson

Image
Saab has got experience of producing special editions in honour of rally driver Erik Carlsson, having previously named versions of the 900 and 9000 after him during the late 1980s and early 1990s. Now it has decided to do it again, this time to mark the fiftieth anniversary of the Swedish driver’s first win in Britain’s RAC Rally, which was achieved at the wheel of a Saab 96. Thankfully, the company has resisted the urge to just bung some fancy alloys and a few other extra bits onto something like a mid-range diesel model. Instead, it appears to have resurrected the limited edition Turbo X from a couple of years ago, as the new edition similarly features a turbocharged 2.8 litre petrol V6, Saab’s XWD all-wheel drive system and a six-speed automatic gearbox. The result is the 9-3 Aero Carlsson saloon, which turns out to be a very rapid car. With 276 bhp (205 kW / 280 PS) and a healthy 400 Nm of torque, the 0-60 mph (96 km/h) dash takes just 6.9 seconds. But it’s in the mid-range t...

American spec Fiat 500

Image
Fiat has released the first details and images of the North American specification 500. The tiny city car will be available in Pop, Lounge and Sport trim levels, and is distinguished from the European version by its more aggressive front and rear bumpers, bigger grille and flared sills. Another unique feature is the engine. Fiat has decided to use the 1.4 MultiAir unit currently found in models such as the Fiat Punto Evo and Alfa Romeo MiTo. Perhaps it felt that using the forthcoming two-cylinder TwinAir in the American 500 would have been too much for markets there to take? There’s no word yet on what power output the MultiAir will have, although in its current applications it comes with either 103 bhp (77 kW / 105 PS), 133 bhp (99 kW / 135 PS) or 167 bhp (125 kW / 170 PS). Similarly, prices have yet to be confirmed, but hopefully both details will have been sorted out by the time the order book for the 500 hatch opens later this year. For convertible fans, the 500C is due ...
