Tadao Mori, Toyota Motor Europe's Head of Styling Design, acknowledged the profound impact that Undercover's distinct fashion language had on the Aygo X's development. This collaboration provided a unique opportunity to explore novel perspectives on colour and creative approaches to elevate even the most ordinary automotive elements into something extraordinary.

For Toyota, the Aygo X has been an emblem of accessibility and youthful appeal since its introduction in 2005. However, the Aygo X Undercover pushes the boundaries of luxury, introducing a whole new dimension of exclusivity and refinement to the model.
