I think it is just the Toyota Echotech engine. I looked on Rockauto and they list a timing chain tensioner for it so I'm thinking a timing chain engine. Plus the Echotech is a Variable Valve Timing engine witch is harder to to with a timing belt system.
Opel and US-market Chevrolet versions of the Delta II platform compact cars use a turbocharged version of the 1.4 L engine with double variable cam phasing (DCVCP); in the future, an optional gasoline direct injection system will be introduced.[1] Opel versions feature Start&Stop system from 2011 and a Gen III block; a lower-power 120 ps version has been introduced as well. For MY 2013, the overboost to 220 Nm has been added. [2]
