When Toyota adds the GR badge and hybrid technology to its smallest model, we get the 2025 Aygo X Hybrid GR Sport – a city kid with a big heart.
In a world where cars fight for space on the road (and in the hearts of drivers), Toyota The Aygo X Hybrid GR Sport 2025 writes a new chapter in how a small car can be both practical, environmentally friendly and playful. After a facelift for 2025, this “urban warrior” no longer just wears a cross between a hatchback and a crossover – it is now a hybrid. And not just any hybrid. The only one in its class.
A hybrid that needs no excuses
Goodbye, underpowered one-liter engine. The new Toyota Aygo X Hybrid GR Sport 2025 boasts a 1.5-liter three-cylinder engine and an electric motor, developing a combined 116 hp (114 bhp). It's like replacing your city bike with an electric scooter that can go from 0 to 100 km/h less than 10 seconds – which is a huge improvement from the previous 14.9! I know, it's not exactly a Tesla, but in the city it's enough to feel like you're driving through light years.
Small body, big mind
Just 3.77 metres long, but packed with more technology than some sedans. Fuel consumption is a claimed 3.8 litres/100 km (61.6 mpg), and emissions are lower than your average breakfast – 86g CO₂/km. Engineers had to stretch the front end (by 76mm) to fit all the eco-magic, including two stacks of battery cells under the rear seats. The auxiliary battery was moved under the boot, which nevertheless remained the same size (231 litres). Japanese engineering wizardry in all its mini glory.
GR Sport – spice for the sporting soul
The exterior of the GR Sport version is, hands down, a real eye-catcher. 18-inch wheels, a sharper grille, new bonnet and some visual “kimono” such as the exclusive mustard yellow paint with gloss black details. While not more powerful, the GR Sport brings a tuned suspension, sharper steering and more of that real GR fun in the corners. This car doesn’t scream “speed”, it whispers “fun”.
A cabin that knows what's trending
Interior? Small, but nice – and above all, useful. 7-inch digital display, wireless charging, electronic handbrake, Panasonic nanoeX air purifier and recycled materials with a texture reminiscent of Tokyo's cherry blossoms (it's actually called SakuraTouch®). All USB-C ports, OTA updates and a safety gadget system are standard. It's like Apple and Toyota had a baby.
Conclusion: The city has a new pet
The Aygo X GR Sport Hybrid is no longer a cute city mouse – it is a city fox with a hybrid heart and a sporty character. With better performance, outstanding efficiency and a refreshed look, it will certainly continue to reign supreme among city vehicles. Prices have not yet been revealed, but we should expect a bit more than the classic version – but still within affordable limits.
For anyone looking for something more than a small car – something that combines practicality, durability, playfulness and GR character – the Aygo X Hybrid GR Sport is a great candidate. Because if we're going to drive a city car, it should at least be the coolest on the street.
