Hyundai Matrix

The Hyundai Matrix designed by Pininfarina.

Vehicle Overview

The Hyundai Matrix, designed by Pininfarina in Turin, Italy, is built on the platform of the third-generation Hyundai Elantra and is the result of project FC. This mid-size, mid-engine minivan is produced in Turkey and targeted at both the European and South Korean markets. The Matrix stands out for its bright and spacious cabin, a decent level of finish, and excellent rear seats that can slide almost 20 cm, allowing the trunk to expand up to 500 liters. Additionally, it features airplane-style tables for rear passengers, adding to its practical and comfortable design. Mechanically, the Matrix has received some criticism, particularly regarding its engines. The relatively small engine displacement for the vehicle’s size results in sluggish acceleration. The transmission is described as slightly stiff and obstructive, while the steering is considered imprecise. Despite these drawbacks, the Hyundai Matrix is praised for its particularly durable brakes. In terms of safety, the Matrix is equipped with front airbags and an ABS braking system. However, it lacks side airbags and ESP stability control, which are notable omissions in its safety features. Nonetheless, the Hyundai Matrix remains a practical choice for those seeking a spacious and versatile minivan with a design pedigree from Pininfarina.
