Body Styles, Trim Levels, and Options

The new Toyota Matrix at this Laconia Toyota Dealer is a compact hatchback available in three trim levels: Base, S and XRS. The Base model 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 the Base model version of the Matrix but standard on the S.  All-wheel drive is optional on the midrange 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 loses the spoilers, but it gains foglights 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 this Laconia 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 mpg city, 31 mpg highway and 28 mpg combined.

Safety

The Toyota Matrix at this Laconia Toyota Dealer comes standard with stability control and antilock 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. The rear-seat side impacts received four stars.

Interior Design and Special Features

Inside the Matrix you’ll immediately notice the edgy ambience.  The controls are both intuitive and attractive, plus the telescoping steering wheel and ample seat-track travel allow drivers of all sizes to get comfortable.

In back, the tall, deep bench is inviting for children and adults alike, and it 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.
