2007 Toyota Echo
The entry-level Toyota sedan is the subcompact 2007 Toyota Echo. With
great initial purchase pricing and some of the best fuel economy numbers
in the class, the 2007 Toyota Echo is a remarkable buy. The new Echo has
a redesigned exterior, to give it a more distinct and sporty appearance,
and has a higher quality interior look and feel. This is despite the many
competing factors that block such low pricing. For one, the Echo maintains
Toyota's commitment to quality, reliability, performance and handling.
The Echo's target demographic is the first-time car buyer on a limited
budget but it also being chosen by people who want a second car for practical
workhorse purposes. The Echo has comfortable room for five adult passengers
who will find climbing in and out quite easy as it has the low floor height
of a sedan with a high seating position similar to that of an SUV or minivan.
Available Models
The 2007 Toyota Echo comes as either a 2-door hatchback coupe or a 4-door
sedan. These come with a choice between manual or automatic transmissions.
Interior Features
The Echo's interior has been refined for this year with new fabric patterns
and interior colors, beige and dark grey, giving it a richer look and
feel. Chrome and silver trim elements can be added with the addition of
the optional Chrome Package while the distinctive Echo center-mounted
instrument cluster can be optionally outfitted with a new speedometer
/ tachometer combination meter.
Despite its small size, the 2007 Toyota Echo offers spacious accommodations
for rear-seat passengers with 35.2 inches of legroom. Details like the
rear center armrest add value and customer comfort with a small impact
on the bottom line.
The available 60/40 split rear seat adds a new armrest for enhanced rear
seat comfort and folds down for cargo carrying versatility.
Exterior Features
Exterior enhancements are a big part of this year's redesign. From the
front bumper to the rear, there have been significant alterations: 1.6
inches has been added to the overall length, the front bumper and fenders
feature sharper lines and the new chrome-slat grille with horizontal body-color
elements looks fresh and sporty. Headlight clusters, which gain a chromed
housing, and small round fog lamps, another new option, combine to improve
function and styling.
Performance
The highly efficient 1.5-liter aluminium alloy 4-cyl engine fuel efficient
engine has dual overhead cams and can be coupled with a manual or automatic
transmission. The little power-plant pushes 108 hp at 6000rpm and 105
ft-lb of torque at 4'200 rpm. Coupled with the 5-speed manual transmission,
the motor gets 35/43 mpg with the standard five-speed manual transmission
and 33/38 mpg with the four-speed electronic automatic transmission. A
five-speed Echo can accelerate from 0-60 mph in just 8.5 seconds. Mascpherson
struts add handling and performance capability.
Safety and Security
Toyota has installed basic equipment in the Echo to keep costs down, Anitilock
brakes and front side airbags are optional extras.
