Hyundai Matrix

Matrix is Hyundai’s take on the popular Compact MPV sector. The strange Bertone styling means there’s plenty of interior space, it’s quite practical and, like all Hyundai models, there’s plenty of standard kit. The 1.6 feels a bit strained under pressure, the 1.8 and diesel are the ones to go for.

GSI, SE, CDX, TD

Two trim levels. GSi gets air-con, electric windows and mirrors and a CD player. CDX adds part-leather upholstery, an electric sunroof and alloy wheels. Options include auto transmission and full leather seats.
