Toyota Matrix review

If you're tired of the usual car models and styles, then turn your head to the new Toyota Matrix. It is an entirely different mode of transportation and not merely a utility vehicle. Hot in style and features but with affordable price, this car is aimed for younger buyers. Toyota Matrix is a new member of the sport wagon category. It is a crossover utility vehicle (CUV) or a combination of a car, sport utility and station wagon. Its under skin platform takes its features from Toyota Corolla.

 

The Matrix comes in three trim levels such as Matrix, Matrix XR and XRS. All models use 1.8 liter, DOHC 16-valve engine with Variable Valve Timing and Lift that adjusts intake and valve timing as the engine's speed and load changes. Its price ranges from $16,645 for 4WD base vehicle to the $24,540 XRS. Price may also change for yearly models. Also available are Matrix 4WD and XR in either WD or FWD.
