Is the 2026 Toyota Aygo X's CVT noisy?

Hi Leslie,

It's much better than hybrid Toyotas used to be for sure, though it still makes a bit of racket when you put the accelerator pedal all the way down for maximum performance. And it'll be noisy for short periods of acceleration as well, for example when joining a motorway.

But it's fine when up to speed and even at motorway speeds. And it drops into fully electric mode in stop-start traffic a lot so there's no issue there either.

Go test drive one for yourself before you commit to buying it though.
