Toyota: Go Now!

EPSOM, UNITED KINGDOM – January 18, 2011: When the going gets tough, AYGO Go! will make life behind the wheel that bit calmer thanks to a bundle of multi-media features to keep motorists on course, in touch and in tune. The latest addition to Toyota’s city car line-up comes as standard with a removable TomTom satellite navigation unit that has touch screen controls and a voice recognition function.

Not only will it guide you to where you want to go to, it will even tell what the weather will be like when you arrive and flag up points-of-interest along the way – including filling stations.

The sat-nav comes along with Bluetooth and a USB port for connecting iPods and other digital music players to the audio system, which itself provides a CD player that can play MP3 files from disc.

The 4.3-inch navigation screen offers a bird’s eye route view and can also display playlist and album details and SMS messages, with a handy speech-to-text facility if required.

AYGO Go! adds a healthy helping of extra style, too, with new-design alloy wheels, dark-tinted rear privacy glass and a leather-trimmed steering wheel. New exterior colours are Chilli Red and Cirrus White, with metallic Carbon Quartz available as an option. Air conditioning can also be specified, together with the dedicated AYGO Style and Protection option packs.

AYGO Go! is available in both three and five-door body styles and is powered by the ultra-frugal International Engine of the Year award-winning 1.0-litre three cylinder VVT-i petrol engine with manual or MultiMode transmission.
