Navas put City ahead after only 13 seconds and Spurs' day got progressively worse from that moment on, with the former Sevilla man finishing off the 6-0 rout in stoppage time.
Alvaro Negredo's shot was turned into his own net by Sandro before Aguero bagged a brace in a nine-minute spell either side of the interval, taking his tally for the campaign to 15.
Negredo profited from Fernandinho's superb through-ball to net a fifth, by which stage Tottenham resembled little more than a rabble.
Indeed, the scale of this damaging loss sent the north London outfit tumbling down to ninth in the Premier League, the position in which City had begun the afternoon.
As the hosts have now jumped back into Champions League contention, six points adrift of leaders Arsenal, evidently their position is not grim as some have made out.
However, as Andre Villas-Boas has now overseen a run of just one point from their last three games, some tough questions might soon start to be asked of the Spurs boss.
