Toyota Matrix
The preceding design gave it a compact crossover vehicle look, while the 2009 Toyota Matrix design is almost like a sporty station wagon. Still offered as a four-door hatchback, it has a new improved interior design. Under the hood, we find one of two very distinct engines: a 132 horsepower 1.8-litre or 158 horsepower 2.4-litre engine. Let us note that the all-wheel drive versions are back.
