This little Toyota has become 12,000 euros more expensive in ten years!

New cars are becoming more and more expensive (except for certain electric cars) and this can be clearly seen in the Toyota Aygo. Because you won’t believe how much the price has risen.

Back in time. About ten years ago you could buy the Toyota Aygo from 8,480 euros. Many cars in the A segment were so cheap back then. Now you’re shocked at what you’re paying for the Aygo.

Price increase Toyota Aygo

Toyota just increased the price of its smallest model. The funny Aygo

Then the current basic model will be retired and the Play, now the second equipment level, will become the entry-level model. The price of the game will increase by 700 euros from 19,795 to 20,495 euros on January 1st.

And that will soon be the starting price of the Aygo

Stricter security requirements

By the way, none of this is Toyota’s fault. Due to increasingly stringent safety requirements, cars are more expensive to produce and therefore must be more expensive to be profitable.

For this reason, almost all manufacturers have stopped producing smaller models in the A segment. Actually only Toyota and Kia are left. The Picanto – one of the best-selling new cars – is also expensive.

The Kia Picanto is also more expensive

Kia still has an old price list online in which the starting price of the Picanto is stated as 17,245 euros, but we assume that something will be added on January 1st.

To make a comparison: in 2013 a new Picanto cost 8,195 euros. The price has also risen significantly in ten years. No wonder used cars are becoming increasingly popular.
