Body Styles, Trim Levels, and Options

The new Toyota Matrix at our Portland Toyota Dealer is a compact hatchback available in three trim levels: base, S and XRS. All-wheel drive is optional on the mid-range S. The base car features 16-inch steel wheels, power mirrors, air-conditioning, a CD stereo with an auxiliary audio jack, a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel and a fold-flat front passenger seat.

Cruise control, keyless entry and power windows and locks are optional on this version of the Matrix but standard on the S, which also adds a rear window wiper, underbody spoilers, an upgraded stereo and a 115-volt utility outlet. The all-wheel-drive version of the S has fog lights and an independent rear suspension. The top-of-the-line Matrix XRS tacks on 18-inch alloy wheels, a rear roof spoiler, sport-tuned suspension and steering, upgraded seat fabric and a leather-wrapped steering wheel.

Powertrains and Performance

On the base front-wheel-drive Toyota Matrix, you’ll find a 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine rated at 132 horsepower and 128 pound-feet of torque. A five-speed manual transmission is standard, and a four-speed automatic is optional.

Matrix S and XRS models are available at a Portland Toyota Dealership to upgrade to a 2.4-liter engine that makes 158 hp and 162 lb-ft of torque, as well as an optional five-speed automatic alongside the standard five-speed manual. The AWD S comes only with the four-speed automatic.

Equipped with the 1.8-liter engine, the Matrix returns above-average fuel economy — 26 mpg city/32 mpg highway and 28 mpg combined with the manual, according to the EPA, while the four-speed auto yields 25/31/28.

Safety

The Toyota Matrix at a ME Toyota Dealer comes standard with stability control and anti-lock disc brakes, with the S and XRS boasting larger discs all around. Also standard are front-seat side airbags and full-length side curtain airbags. In government crash testing, the Matrix scored a perfect five stars for frontal and front-seat side impacts, dropping to four stars for rear-seat side impacts.

Interior Design and Special Features

Inside, the Matrix has a significantly edgy ambiance. A telescoping steering wheel and ample seat-track travel allow drivers of all sizes to get comfortable with  controls that are both intuitive and attractive.

In back, the tall, deep bench folds completely flat in 60/40 sections. There are 19.8 cubic feet of luggage capacity behind the rear seats and an impressive 61.5 cubes with the seats folded flat. Come see it for yourself today at our Portland Toyota Dealership showroom.
