The 2012 Toyota Matrix is a Hatchback for the Future

Put yourself on the map in the new 2012 Toyota Matrix, a daring hatchback with a bold attitude and practical design. The Matrix hugs every twist and turn in the road, courtesy of its electric power steering system and independent MacPherson strut front suspension. For durable, reliable performance, the Matrix comes equipped with steel-belted radial tires and multi-reflector halogen headlamps.

The Matrix's roomy interior features a sport-inspired telescopic steering wheel with metallic accents, along with convenient audio system controls. A 12V auxiliary power outlet gives you the option to bring along your laptop or electronic devices while on the go. Other standard amenities include power windows and locks, a dual glove compartment, and a multi-function in-key remote keyless entry system.

The Matrix comes loaded with a complete set of safety features at all trim levels. All passengers are completely covered by Toyota's STAR safety system, which includes anti-lock brakes and an enhanced vehicle stability control system. You can also drive with the assurance that you're covered by an energy absorbing steering column, three-point seatbelts at all seating positions, and an advanced airbag system.
