The Toyota Echo is a passenger car model from the Japanese manufacturer Toyota , which was designed by Sotiris Kovos . It is the notchback counterpart and coupe of the Toyota Yaris . Under the name Echo , the vehicle was sold in North America from 1999 and there had a differently designed front section and different exterior mirrors than the Yaris. Between 1999 and 2004, around 150,000 units of the Echo were sold in the USA.

Toyota Echo Sedan (2003-2005)

In Japan the Echo was marketed as Toyota and in Southeast Asia as Toyota Vios . In the People's Republic of China , the Echo has been offered under the name Xiali Vela since 2002 . The Echo sold only moderately in America because the car was too small for the conditions there. Unlike the Yaris, the Echo was only available with a 1.5 liter 108 hp engine. It was optionally supplied with a 5-speed gearbox or a four-speed automatic.

The successor to the Echo is the Toyota Belta , which in turn is based on the Toyota Yaris (from 2006).
