Toyota has launched a new version of the Aygo, dubbed the JBL Edition, which is an audiophile’s dream wrapped in a small package.
Developed by JBL, the 600W premium sound system features two 25 mm (1 in) high-frequency tweeters on top of the instrument panel and two 150 mm (6 in) speakers mounted in the front doors. Rocking its world is a 160 mm (6.3 in) subwoofer placed in the spare wheel well, with a tire repair kit provided as standard.
There is no depleting the battery while rocking your favorite tunes, which can be played through Apple CarPlay and Android Auto too, as the Aygo JBL Edition has the audio-maker’s energy saving GreenEdge technology. This reduces the power consumption by half while maintaining the dynamic performance, with sound reproduction coordinated through the bus-less amplifier.
The Aygo JBL Edition also stands out with its Electro Grey paint finish, contrasted by the Mandarin Pop orange accents on the front and rear bumpers, side skirts, A-pillars and roof. The shade has been applied inside as well, around the air vents, on the gearshift lever, seats and floor mats, while the ‘JBL’ badge sits in the middle of the dashboard, under the infotainment system.
On sale in the United Kingdom, this special version of the city car starts at £14,150 ($18,803) with a five-speed manual or £14,850 ($19,733) with the automated manual gearbox. All cars come with black twin-spoke 15-inch alloy wheels, rear privacy windows, front fog lamps, automatic air conditioning, part-leather upholstery and the Toyota Safety Sense suite of driving aids.
