But it costs £19,650, nearly a grand more than a Renault Clio, which is more refined, more spacious, more powerful and available with zero per cent finance on a two-year deal. The high-spec Limited Edition adds a retractable canvas sunroof, heated front seats, rear privacy glass and keyless entry and go. The Edge adds larger wheels, automatic air-con and front foglights for £16,505, while the Exclusive trim we tested gains LED headlights, parking sensors all round and wireless phone charging for £17,725. If you’d rather fewer thrills, the Hyundai’s starting price is more than £2,000 cheaper. For that money, you can buy an i10 with a more powerful 83bhp four-cylinder petrol engine, and with an eight-inch touchscreen. Prices start from £14,805 for the entry-level Pure trim, which gets 17-inch wheels, a seven-inch touchscreen, adaptive cruise control and a reversing camera as standard. While the low gears are long, fifth is relatively short, so the Aygo X is still busy on the motorway. The lower ratios are quite long given the power available – 60mph is possible in second – and it means you need lots of revs and to slip the clutch to move off without stalling. With 71bhp, there’s a reasonable amount of performance, but there are times it can be found wanting, although many of these issues are down to the gearbox. It’s an agile car, too, which makes it fairly fun to drive in built-up areas. There are good points the steering is light and well weighted, which means that it’s both easy to use around town yet not nervous at higher speeds. On the road, the Aygo doesn’t quite live up to the promise that we’d hoped for given its close relationship with the Yaris. One that’s somewhat unsurprisingly taken on more than a hint of crossover for its. The 231-litre boot is right on the money with the Hyundai, though. This Aygo X Prologue shows us a taller, chunkier, more practical take on the city car. Getting in is a little awkward, because the back doors are small – worth bearing in mind if you plan to fit a bulky child seat. The rear bench is strictly for two people, but on the plus side, there’s plenty of foot room beneath the front seats.
