2006 Toyota Matrix Base Front-Wheel Drive Hatchback

Overview

The Toyota Matrix combines the style and fun of a sport coupe with the utility of a small sport utility at the price of a compact. Matrix was designed for people who want a vehicle with a sporty image and high functionality. Toyota Matrix is available in three trim lines: the standard Matrix, XR, and XRS. Front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive versions are available along with a choice of two engines: Matrix and Matrix XR are powered by a 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine rated at 126 horsepower (123 horsepower with four-wheel drive). Matrix XRS is a high-performance model powered by a 164-horsepower version of the 1.8-liter engine. Safety is enhanced with available Vehicle Stability Control, anti-lock brakes with electronic brake-force distribution, side curtain and seat-mounted side-impact airbags. The Toyota Matrix is a carryover from 2005.
