2013 Toyota Echo Review Pictures
2013 Toyota
Echo is available in two body styles: two-door and four-door. A five-speed
manual transmission is standard; a four-speed automatic is an $800
option. You get front-wheel drive, a nicely tuned suspension that
delivers the ride of a much larger vehicle, and Toyota's anti-vibration
tricks that make the car amazingly smooth at highway speeds. It wasn't
designed for looks. It was designed for comfort, convenience, safety
and affordability. So it's tall. 2013 Toyota Echo comes with a wonderfully
zippy motor and a tight five-speed gearbox. On the highway, a steady
70 mph in fifth gear is smooth, silent and relaxed. The funky-looking
little Echo is the least expensive way to drive a new Toyota. Even
with all its highway strengths, it's hard to imagine a better city
car than the 2013 Toyota Echo.
2013 Toyota Echo's 1.5-liter DOHC 16-valve 4-cylinder is the most
powerful engine of its size available. It features Variable Valve
Timing with intelligence (VVT-i) - advanced technology usually found
only on more expensive vehicles. VVT-i optimizes engine breathing
by adjusting intake valve timing as engine speed and load vary. Unlike
some systems that switch between two compromise settings, VVT-i adjusts
continuously, tailoring performance to suit virtually any situation.
The result is the best of all worlds: smooth idling, remarkable torque,
surprising power and fuel-efficient cruising. It comes with a spunky
four-cylinder engine that can achieve over 30 mpg around town.
