Body Styles, Trim Levels, and Options
The new Toyota Matrix at our Orange County Toyota Dealer is a compact hatchback available in three trim levels: Base, S and XRS. The Base car features 16-inch steel wheels, power mirrors, air-conditioning, a CD stereo with an auxiliary audio jack, a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel and a fold-flat front passenger seat.
Cruise control, keyless entry and power windows and locks are optional on the Base model version of the Matrix but standard on the S. All-wheel drive is optional on the midrange S which also adds a rear window wiper, underbody spoilers, an upgraded stereo and a 115-volt utility outlet. The all-wheel-drive version of the S loses the spoilers, but it gains foglights and an independent rear suspension. The top-of-the-line Matrix XRS tacks on 18-inch alloy wheels, a rear roof spoiler, sport-tuned suspension and steering, upgraded seat fabric and a leather-wrapped steering wheel.
