A successor to the Tercel and precursor to the Scion brand, the Toyota Echo was introduced after the turn of the millennium to allow younger U.S. buyers to experience the reliability and power of a Toyota, with a lower price tag.
Launched in 2000, the Echo ran through 2005, with both sedan and coupe body styles offered. Each Echo is powered with a 1.5-liter inline four-cylinder engine capable of 108 horsepower and 105 pound-feet of torque. And thanks to its light curb weight, the Echo has good acceleration. Its fuel economy is also impressive, with real-world mileage typically averaging at 35 mpg, which is quite possibly the best of any non-hybrid, gas-powered car from this time period.
AM/FM four-speaker audio, a tilt steering wheel and 14-inch wheels come standard on the Echo, and optional additions include an all-weather package (including a heavy-duty battery and rear window defogger), antilock brakes, air-conditioning, side airbags, a CD player and keyless entry. Power steering, power windows and mirrors, a tachometer and a split-folding rear seat are also optional. In 2001, side airbags became available. The following year, Toyota began offering optional 15-inch wheels. The Echo also got a restyling in 2003.
Design-wise, the Toyota Echo's most impressive features are its spacious cabin and trunk. The tall greenhouse and narrow roof pillars offer unobstructed visibility and lots of headroom. Front seating is comfortable and there is ample rear seat for two full-size adults.
