Reduced Co2 Emissions

Award-winning 1.0-litre VVT-i petrol engine with reduced emissions and fuel consumption

When equipped with the 3-cylinder 1.0-litre VVT-i petrol engine, the AYGO's combined fuel consumption is one of the segment's lowest for petrol engines, at 4.5 litres per 100 kilometres (with manual transmission).

Toyota engineers have worked continually to improve performance on the 1.0-litre 3-cylinder powerplant. When the engine first came off the line in 2005, the frugal 1.0-litre engine delivered 109g of CO2/km. By early 2008, Toyota engineers had already reduced this to 108g, and by early 2009 it will be reduced even further to 106g after the following engineering improvements:

• A newly developed cut off system saves fuel during gear changes
• Use of low viscosity oil for less engine resistance
