What to Weigh Before Buying
Trim selection is the central choice in the Matrix lineup. The L trim starts at $20,115, uses a 1.8-liter engine, produces 132 hp and 128 lb-ft of torque, returns 25 city and 32 highway MPG, and pairs with a four-speed automatic. The S trim starts at $21,455, uses a 2.4-liter engine, produces 158 hp and 162 lb-ft of torque, returns 21 city and 29 highway MPG, and pairs with a five-speed automatic.
Consider whether the higher output of the S trim matters more than the L trimās higher stated fuel-economy figures. The Matrixās 19.8 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats and 1,500-pound maximum towing capacity also help frame how it may fit daily transportation and light utility needs.
