Hyundai-Matrix became the second minivan of the company after the Trajet model. The car was designed on the Lantra platform, but the body parameters were significantly changed. When developing a model, designers primarily intended to create a convenient and comfortable car. The technical characteristics of the Hyundai Matrix make it an excellent option for both family and business trips. The machine is simultaneously compact and has a fairly spacious interior. As for the design, specialists from the Italian studio Pinifarina were engaged in its development. In a few words: the car combines many important advantages, including safety, comfort and reliability.
SalonInterior design is distinguished by its unusualness. Here, the dashboard is located on the center console. Due to the fact that it is deployed to the side, the driver has the opportunity to see her better. Along with this, the control of the main parameters of the system is carried out through the information monitor, which is located directly in front of it. Such technical characteristics of the Hyundai-Matrix significantly increase the visibility. Armchairs have good side support. Rear passenger seats have both vertical and horizontal adjustment. Thanks to the convex shape of the windshield, the aerodynamic characteristics of the car are also improved. The seats that are located behind can be folded and thereby increase the volume of the luggage compartment. The salon is characterized by the presence of a large number of various departments, designed to arrange things. This also includes the twelve cupholders that are inside the car.
Engine and transmission
Separate words deserve the technical characteristics of the Hyundai-Matrix in terms of movement. Three engine options can be installed under the hood of the machine. The simplest of them is a turbodiesel, consisting of three cylinders and developing 82 horsepower. The second is a 103-horsepower 1.6-liter engine. Only the most powerful Hyundai-Matrix is delivered to our country. The engine of the car has a volume of 1.8 liters, and its power is 122 "horses". As for the gearbox, here the buyer has a choice between "mechanics" and "automatic".
Brakes and safety
The model uses disc brakes at the front , and drum brakes at the back. The braking system boasts an anti-lock braking system. Technical characteristics of the Hyundai-Matrix in terms of safety meet the highest requirements.
The first line of defense here is the body. Due to the fact that all key elements are made of high-strength steel, its high rigidity is ensured. Deformation of body elements in a collision occurs according to schemes calculated previously. It also reduces the cost of repairs Hyundai-Matrix. The filter is combined with the fuel pump in one unit, which is located in the tank. It should be noted that such a scheme is the safest of all existing. In addition, the ABS system is standard on the car, and the headlights are equipped with a system that allows them to refract their light on the guide lens, which prevents blind drivers moving towards them.
