Author Description

The decision to produce the cars was made on July 12, 2001, when the presidents of Toyota and PSA Peugeot Citroën, Fujio Cho and Jean-Martin Folz respectively, decided to produce a small car to share development costs. This project was called B-Zero. The Peugeot 107 and Citroën C1 are rebadged versions of the same car. The Aygo's starting on the road price was e8,500 (GB£6,845). The main difference between the Aygo and its siblings are the badges, rear side windows, steering wheel and the easily recognizable front and rear end of the car. The planned production is 300,000 cars annually - 100,000 cars per brand. Sales began in July 2005, and the car was available as a three or five door hatchback. There were two engines available, a 1.0 L three cylinder engine rated at 68 bhp (51 kW), and a 1.4 L HDi Diesel I4 engine rated at 54 bhp (40 kW).
