The 2007 Toyota Matrix is a compact hatchback belonging to its first generation (2003-2008). Equipped with a 1.8L I4 engine, it generates a modest 126 horsepower and is available with either a four-speed automatic or five-speed manual transmission; all models are front-wheel drive. A sportier XR trim offers an optional 158-hp engine. Standard features include air conditioning, power mirrors, and a CD player, while upper trims provide upgrades like keyless entry, a moonroof, and a six-disc CD changer. It does not offer modern infotainment features like touchscreen or smartphone integration, but is well-regarded for its durability, fuel efficiency, and versatile cargo space. Standard safety features include front-seat side airbags and full-length side curtain-type airbags.
