The Toyota Matrix is so unconventional that it opens up a new class of vehicles that the company calls Street Performance Utility (SPU). What is SPU? This is a 2003 Corolla sedan with an SUV body and a Celica engine. The main idea underlying the creation of the new model was the desire to offer the buyer a large and functional space for cargo (like in an SUV), give the car a sporty character and win the love of young people who value spacious, functional cars with a memorable, sportyfit appearance. Body panels stamped on special presses give a special style. Thanks to the latest technology and equipment, Toyota engineers have managed to combine smooth lines and contours with sharp edges.

The Matrix model is designed to satisfy any customer with a choice of 2 engines, 4 transmission options, four-wheel drive, front-wheel drive and three interior trim options.

The interior design of the car is quite attractive and, as mentioned above, is aimed at a young buyer. Inside are fashionable withIdeas, and the roof is covered with stylish yellowish transparent glass. The center panel design is reminiscent of the 1990 Mitsubishi Eclipse. Additional instrument control buttons are located on the steering wheel.

The Matrix has a 102.4-inch wheel spacing (like the Corolla), but its overall length is 7 inches shorter, which is compensated for by the greater height and width. As a result, the passenger space is 118 cubic feet.

The car's suspension is in front of a McPherson strut, at the rear, either a torsion bar for 2WD, or double wishbones (4WD).

Front-wheel drive Matrix and Matrix XR are equipped with a 130-horsepower 1.8-liter VVT-i engine from Celica 1ZZ-FE. On the model with additional all-wheel drive, the same engine is installed, albeit with 123 hp. There is also a more powerful Matrix XRS variant with a 1.8-liter 4-cylinder engine producing 180 hp. from Celica GT-S which is also known as 2ZZ-GE.

The 6-speed manual gearbox has a very unusual look. Much more traditional 5-speed manual and two 4-speed automaticno boxes.

So, the Toyota Matrix is a car built using Toyota Corolla chassis elements, arranged in an innovative single-volume body. In terms of its characteristics, this car combines a minivan and an SUV, and at the same time is comparable in price to conventional sedans. Equipped with an all-wheel drive transmission and sports suspension, the Toyota Matrix represents a new class of vehicles that Toyota representatives call Street Performance Utility, or SPU for short.
