In addition to a complete list of standard features, the Echo Hatchback LE also comes with one major decision: 3-door or 5-door? Once that’s out of the way, almost everything else is part of the bargain. Which means enhancements such as a 4-forward-speaker stereo system and a rear window wiper/washer are all included. The same can also be said for Echo Hatchback’s spontaneous 1.5 Litre, 4-cylinder, 16-valve, fuel injection engine, as well as power steering and dual front airbags. With comfortable seating for four and 60/40 fold-down rear seats, the LE easily adapts to just about any kind of situation your lifestyle wants to throw at it. Both performance and dependability are provided by the 1.5-litre engine developed specifically for Echo. The 4-cylinder, DOHC powerplant uses an aluminum alloy cylinder block and produces 108 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 105 lb/ft of torque at 4,200 rpm. Light, compact and equipped with Toyota's advanced Variable Valve Timing with intelligence (VVT-i), the engine's combination of power, exceptional fuel economy and emissions which meet National Resources Canada's standards for certification as a low-emission vehicle (LEV).
The engine is linked to a standard 5-speed manual transmission or optional electronically controlled 4-speed automatic transmission.
Like Echo sedans, the Echo Hatchback's suspension uses MacPherson struts with offset coil springs in the front. The rear suspension, which uses a torsion beam with low-mounted coil springs, was reconfigured to suit the hatchback design.
Roomy, Comfortable and Safe Inside: it may look compact on the outside, but inside, the Echo Hatchback makes superb use of its cab-forward design to create a passenger compartment that's surprisingly roomy.
The front bucket seats are both comfortable and supportive, and the 60/40 split folding rear bench has an integrated storage console in the centre that includes a cup holder.
All passengers are protected by three-point seatbelts and the front belts are equipped with pre-tensioners and force limiters for additional safety. De-powered airbags are provided for the driver and front passenger as standard equipment. There are rear seat anchors for child restraint seats.
Like the Echo sedan, the gauge cluster is located in the centre of the dash, making it easy for the driver to see without looking away from the road. An electric rear window defroster and dual manual remote side mirrors further enhance visibility.
Echo Hatchback is equipped with Toyota's standard no deductible, no transfer fee, comprehensive warranty that covers the entire vehicle for 3 years/60,000 kilometres. Powertrain components are covered for 5 years/100,000 kilometres, major emission control components for 8 years/130,000 kilometres and corrosion perforation for 5 years with unlimited distance. Optional Extra Care Protection (ECP) at four levels is available for up to 6 years/200,000 kilometres.
