The Toyota 2E engine is a straight-4 piston engine series, and uses timing belt rather than a chain. The E engines were the first multi-valve engines from Toyota designed with economy, practicality and everyday use in mind. The 2E is a 1.3 L SOHC version with three valves per cylinder using Nippon Denso type Starter motor, Alternator/Regulator, Ignition and Distributor. The power output ranged from 65 hp to 82 hp at 6000 rpm with 72 lb ft (98 NM) of torque at 3600 rpm to 77 lb ft (104 NM) of torque at 5200 rpm.

The 2E engines appeared in both carburetted using Aisan Type Fuel system. and fuel-injected versions with Firing order 1-3-4-2. The 2E-TE, appearing in 1986, was a turbocharged engine producing 101 hp (75 kW). A later version, the 2E-TELU produced 110 hp (82 kW). . Like many other Toyota engines from the era, the E engine series features a cast iron block, along with an aluminium cylinder head.
