Super TestCar reviews - Toyota - Echo - Sportivo 5-dr hatchToyota modelsResearch Toyota Seats10 Aug 2001 THE driver still sits high in the Echo Sportivo models, with the hip point remaining 580mm above the ground for ease of entry and exit. The Sportivo front seats are, however, more heavily bolstered and use a good-quality Jacquard cloth trim that is no longer available on the base hatch models. Jacquard is still part of the power pack optional on the sedan. The front seatbelts are adjustable for height and both front seats have pretensioners, however, a force-limiting pretensioner on the passenger's side is only fitted when a second airbag is called for. The rear seating positions in the hatch models have head restraints, however, the centre-rear position misses out on a three-point seatbelt. Let's not forget just how versatile the rear bench seat is: it can slide fore/aft, split-fold 60/40 and tumble forward. Did you know?The standard Echo front seats were designed to create the optimum angle of hip and knee joints for long periods on the road - thereby reducing fatigue. Front seat fore/aft adjustment range had also been optimised, to suit drivers of all heightsAll car reviewsAlfa Romeo Abarth Alpine Alpina Audi Aston Martin BMW Bentley Chevrolet Chery Citroen Chrysler Dodge Cupra Ferrari DS Ford Fiat FPV Foton GWM Great Wall Holden Haval HSV Honda Hyundai Hummer Isuzu Infiniti Jeep Jaguar Lamborghini Kia LDV Land Rover Lotus Lexus Maserati Mahindra McLaren Mazda Mercedes-Benz Mercedes-AMG Mini MG Nissan Mitsubishi Peugeot Opel Proton Porsche Renault Ram Rover Rolls-Royce Skoda Saab SsangYong Smart Suzuki Subaru Toyota Tesla Volvo Volkswagen |
