Due to the exhaust type extremely inclined forward front glass and a characteristic feature of the geometry of the hood, the engineers managed to improve the aerodynamics of the car, which are characteristic of high bodies.

Pretty good for a car like this. ground clearance 16 cm provides the minivan with good cross-country ability compared to similar vehicles. The front wheels are placed in front of the engine, while the rear wheels are almost under the rear bumper. In 2003, the brand was updated, which affected the lights in front and behind the car, and, moreover, the radiator grille.

2005 was marked for Hyundai by another small restyling. The type of head optics, radiator grille was changed, the redesign model of 2006 was left without 2 built into the floor luggage compartment tool boxes. Car window tinting at the factory was now available only in the top-end version, or for an additional fee. And the year 2008 at the Geneva Motor Show was marked by an updated version of this car, which was presented as the 2nd generation of the brand. This year's model has acquired the recognizable curves of the lines characteristic of the Matrix.

The air intake nozzle on the front bumper has become larger. "Foglights", head optics turned in the other direction. The wings in front have become a little wider, making a convex arc. A characteristic exclusivity of the Hyundai Matrix is ​​​​an absolute overview in a circle, as well as a high seating position. Large doors make it easy to get into the car.

I changed it 10 thousand ago ... and I’m not going to sell ... an excellent car ... although a lot of course it depends on the gasket between the steering wheel and the seat ... where else in more detail? ... everything is in the characteristics .. I have a complete set .. there is everything ... I also put the sound on the back shelf, a subwoofer stuck under the order .. due to the body such dynamics .. installed multimedia .. navigator .. rear view camera ..and instead of a rear-view mirror, an additional monitor for passengers in the rear seats ... anyway, a buffer on a shelf. closes the rear view ... you can’t see anything behind the tinting ... from the outside .. beauty ... well done designers ... PININFARINO .. ..that says it all ... and there are enough side mirrors ... only this body is not a minivan ... dear editors ... but there is also one like a compact van ... although traffic cops wrote when registering .. .hatchback ... you idiot ... but where is the sedan ... and station wagon ...? ... well, nothing ..

there are no problems ... I do everything myself ... nothing complicated ... there are no problems with spare parts ... everything. always ... in stock ... "

Hooke 21.12.2011 : “My first car Matrikosh! I bought in the salon, from scratch, in 2006. I have been driving for the fifth year in winter and summer, almost all year round, without problems. There is no garage, all the time in the yard. The perfect car for women. I like it. A high-mounted brake light repeater, a folding table - for more fun, you can put a book on the table, put a glass or a jar. The mesh of the luggage compartment, there you can keep some things under the mesh, and you like the trunk arches, you can also carry goods on the roof.
I changed the spark plugs in the fall, and the front and rear stoics. ”

Igor 08.12.2010 : “The impressions are only positive. There was a MONDEO-2 before the MATRIX, and earlier there was a lot of other things, including KALINA. After transferring to the Matrix, the bumps on my head went away! From the spaciousness in the cabin, I’m just bastard. Regarding the clearance, I write: Where I didn’t meddle in the MONDEO, I go on the MATRIX without any problems! And now I put winter tires higher so I can crawl under it! Who is he crawling on the ground with his belly? The bullshit is complete. All summer, on weekends, a crowd went to rest with an overnight stay. They took everything they wanted! And a boat, and tents, and blankets, and a brazier, .... Slightly moved the back row forward and everything is OK! MATRIX didn't even sag! The 1.6 engine is enough. NOT 2 liters, like on the MONDEO, of course, but loaded along the highway, + condo, 130 does not fart. And the city is absolutely lovely. The suspension is not very comfortable - harsh, but not bone-shaking. Noises from the front are inaudible, but rear passengers the wheels go over the ears. Neither the steering wheel (in general), nor the seat (in height) are regulated, but everything is so chosen correctly that this is not necessary! My wife also drives and is happy with everything. Headlights are great! The short-wheelbase machine therefore steers and parks with a bang. For a woman, this is not a car-toy!
There are no malfunctions pah-pah yet, but I’ll throw a fly in the ointment. In recent frosts, it started up without problems, but they don’t want to thaw the windows and the interior doesn’t warm up well. On Kalina and FORD, everything warmed up in 3 minutes! The back is covered with mud instantly and the janitor scratches the glass with sand! From spare parts I bought: an oil filter-100 rubles, candles for 100 rubles, light bulbs for 180 rubles. Shumka is certainly rather weak (against MONDEO), but tolerably from the front. And, here's another: Why is the emergency button not highlighted? Wife didn't like it! The front wipers left large uncleaned areas, I had to conjure. ”

Almas Serikbekuly 15.06.2010 : “The car is excellent, the price is normal, it’s just cool for a budget car, I like the design of the current The Italians could have rear parking lights make it a little prettier! =) Comfortable speedometer, high-torque engine for the machine, but voracious! I don't understand the fuel gauge! Chassis: stiff suspension, but it seems like a strong! I myself am from Almaty, and here we have terrible roads after the winter! And most importantly, they will make the road and then they begin to change the pipes! After that, there are linings on the roads, and so every year! Headlights are not conveniently made, they are solid (along with turn signals), it is not very convenient if, say, the turn signal scratched a little! The trunk is small, yes, but the rear seats fold down! Finishing is not surprising for a budget car, weakly C grade, well, that's okay! There are caps on my iron disks, what's good about them: that from afar they look like tit. disks, so the design of the caps is very good, and they fit well, they are screwed together with the bolts (very convenient). I don’t know about you, but my handbrake is rather weak, I drove to the service station and asked to tighten it, but it was already tightened! Handling is good, maneuverability is excellent, it slows down with difficulty but quickly, the water seat is excellent and comfortable
In winter, I drove through kaldaebins (under 110 km), of course, not on purpose, and bent two disks, respectively, broke two caps (in principle, a trifle), I had to order a set of caps for 12,000 tenge (2,400 rubles), I don’t know about you, but for the price for caps is too high for me! It’s not convenient to change (yourself) a fog lamp, you need a hole ... then there will be more, I haven’t finished ... "

The Matrix was designed based on the Lantra III, Hyundai Motor Company's first station wagon. However, the parameters of the body have undergone quite strong changes. The car is the second minivan of the company (the first was Trajet) and the first compact van in particular. It debuted first in Asia with the Lavita, and then in Europe in 2001, where Hyundai introduced the same model, but under the name Matrix. The version for the European market received a more powerful engine, a 1.5-liter unit with a capacity of 100 hp is installed on the Lavita.

Creating the Matrix, Hyundai specialists, first of all, sought to create a car that would be good, convenient and comfortable. It is perfect for family outings and business trips. In the city, it is distinguished by good maneuverability and small dimensions (height -1635 mm, length 4025 mm), but at the same time the car pleasantly surprises with a spacious interior.

The Matrix is ​​designed by the legendary Italian atelier Pinifarina.

It is easy to get inside through large doorways. The interior design is original. So, for example, in place of the dashboard is located information display with set control lamps, which greatly facilitates the control over the state of all systems. And herself dashboard placed on the center console and turned to the side to be constantly in the driver's field of vision. As a result, visibility increases, and it becomes easier to follow what is happening on the road.

The seats are solid, moderately hard, with sufficient lateral support, the driver's seat has an armrest. The rear seats are adjustable horizontally (range - 195 mm), which creates additional legroom, and vertically (23-58 degrees), which provides comfortable seating and best review roads. The Hyundai Matrix windshield has a convex shape and is somewhat recessed - this improves aerodynamic performance and also increases visibility.

The transformation of the cabin allows you to completely fold the rear seats and get one flat surface, which is very convenient when transporting goods. Backdoor traditionally opens up. The trunk, despite the short overhang, is quite large, a full-size spare wheel is placed under its floor.

Provided in the cabin and many convenient compartments for storing things. Two niches in the side walls of the trunk and under the row of rear seats are designed for tools. There is a shoe compartment under the front seat, and folding tables are mounted in the backs of the front seats. There are also a lot of small containers on the front panel and about 12 cup holders throughout the cabin.

For complete control of the situation on the road provided on-board computer. It displays information about fuel consumption and distance to refueling, tracks distance traveled, travel time and more. A special sensor warns about the applied hand brake.

The heart of the Matrix today can be one of three engines: 1.6 l / 103 hp, 1.8 l / 122 hp, as well as a three-cylinder turbodiesel with 82 hp. The car is delivered to Russia only with the most powerful engine 1.8 l.

Gearbox to choose from: automatic or manual.

Brakes Matrix with anti-lock system, front disc and rear drum.

MacPherson front suspension is the best option equipment passenger car. Rear suspension Dual - link successfully copes with the lateral roll of the car when entering a turn.

Matrix has good system security. The body is the first line of defense. Critical body parts made of high-strength steel provide maximum rigidity and protect the driver and passengers. In the event of a collision, the load-bearing structures of the body are deformed according to specially calculated schemes - this allows you to extinguish the main impact force. Naturally, the presence of airbags and belts with pretensioners.

The fuel pump and filter are combined into one unit and located inside the gas tank. This is the most secure of all existing systems. Leakage and ignition of fuel after the accident are excluded.

to standard complete set of Hyundai Matrix includes ABS and EBD. These systems ensure even distribution braking force depending on the pavement and interior loading and shorten the braking distance.

Hyundai Matrix headlights use the Multi Focus Reflector (MFR) system. The light from the lamp falls on reflectors, which refract the light into a guide lens and prevent dazzling oncoming drivers.

Hyundai Matrix combines all the advantages that should have modern car: reliability, safety, comfort, convenience and power.

The Hyundai Matrix compact van was produced from 2001 to 2010. The development of this model was carried out on the basis of the third-generation Lantra station wagon. When creating a car, the automaker sought to get a comfortable, convenient vehicle and achieved the set goals.

The compact van is ideally suited for travel in dense urban areas. The small dimensions of the body allow you to easily maneuver in the traffic flow, park wherever the dimensions of the body allow. Thanks to the high roof, the reduced volume of the luggage compartment inside the cabin, there is enough free space to accommodate five people. The initial equipment includes a full power package, standard climate control equipment and car audio. In 2008, the compact van was restyled, and as a result, the composition of the lineup changed. power units, the appearance of the bow of the body has noticeably changed.

Exterior

The flat surface of the Hyundai hood has the same with the pillars windshield angle of inclination, the compact Matrix radiator grille is closed by two horizontal blinds, they bear the company logo. Blocks of frontal lighting equipment are given the shape of a rectangle with rounded edges. The upper edge of the bumper is decorated with a narrow polymer lining, the same lining is present on the side surfaces of the body. An air intake slot is arranged under the radiator, niches with fog lights are made next to it.

The roof slopes at a 10-degree angle, and high polymer roof rails are installed on it. Stoplights are placed at the bottom of the racks vertically. dimensions bodies are 4025x1740x1635 mm, the full turning circle is 10.4 meters. Own weight - 1323 kg, when fully loaded, the weight of the car increases to 1800 kg, a volume of 350 liters is provided for the trunk, this space expands to 1284 liters.

In the second generation of the compact van, the design of the bow has changed. Blocks of head light increased in size, took the form of a stretched triangle. The narrow pentagon of the radiator grille is tightened with a mesh, the logo of the automaker is applied on top of it. Almost the entire area of ​​the front bumper is allocated for the layout of the trapezoidal bell of the air intake system; it has an internal filling similar to that of the radiator. On the side surfaces of the bumper, decorative, protruding linings are made, fog lights are built into them. On the side surfaces of the case there is a decorative polymer body kit. Body dimensions remained unchanged.

Interior

Due to the high Hyundai roof in the Matrix cabin, a feeling of having ample free space is created. Three head restraints are built into the back of the rear sofa, the seats provide minimal support for the side parts of the body. Roomy, wide pockets are formed under the armrests of the doors; personal belongings can be placed on the back shelf or under the sofa. The driver's seat is divided by a narrow, wedge-shaped pedestal with a 40-degree sloped surface. It houses the transmission selector, then the rise of the T-shaped console begins. It includes a block with regulators and buttons for controlling the microclimate, a block with controls for stereo system functions. A semicircular instrument board is mounted above the console, in which four scales of different sizes are built. In the place where conventional cars have a dashboard, a narrow strip with colored indicators is made.

Specifications

The range of power units consists of two petrol and a pair of diesel engines. The initial gasoline engine has a volume of 1599 cubic meters. centimeters, develops power up to 103 liters. forces, acceleration to hundreds is achieved in 12.7 seconds. The most powerful gasoline unit has a volume of 1795 cubic meters. centimeters, develops up to 123 liters. forces, provides acceleration to hundreds in 11.3 seconds.

Junior diesel introduced power plant 1493 cu. centimeters, with a capacity of 82 liters. forces. Acceleration to hundreds takes 17.9 seconds, peak thrust - 187 Nm. The next in the line is a 102-horsepower diesel engine, spending 14.3 seconds on acceleration to hundreds, peak thrust - 235 Nm.

At the beginning of the 21st century, the Korean brand began courting customers from the Old World. The launch of the Matrix coincided with the opening of Hyundai's European headquarters near Frankfurt. The Korean van was developed on the Elantra compact platform. The specific body style was created in the Pinifarina studio. Not completely consistent lines cause mixed feelings. Matrix owners claim that this madness has its own zest. The lowered side window line combined with the high seating position give a sense of space and provide good review. This is confirmed by maneuvering.

It is a pity that the turning circle exceeds 11 meters. Fortunately, finding a parking space is not a problem. The Hyundai Matrix is ​​only 4.03 m long. In size, it is comparable to the Opel Meriva, a classic representative of the microvan segment.

Hyundai Matrix has been upgraded twice. In 2005, the radiator grille increased, the headlights changed, and a new diesel engine. The time for another facelift came in 2008. The transformed front and dark plastic in the cabin have changed the car for the better. The optional ESP improved safety, and the diesel particulate filter made the engine more environmentally friendly.

There is no lack of space in the cabin. The front seats are spacious and properly profiled. Steering column It has height adjustment only, but finding a comfortable driving position is not difficult. Most Matrix on secondary market represented by pre-styling copies with hard and gray plastic. Hyundai could do better. A family car allows you to put up with many aesthetic shortcomings. Especially when there are enough practical solutions. The rear seat is asymmetrically divided into two parts and changes its longitudinal position in the range of 19 centimeters. The back has an adjustable tilt angle and a hidden armrest. Folding tables and cup holders are at the disposal of passengers at the rear of the central tunnel. There is enough space above the head and in the legs. The absence of a tunnel on the floor will be appreciated by the passenger in the middle.

The dashboard hit the very top of the center console. Only the main signaling devices were left in the driver’s field of vision - a direction indicator, a minimum fuel level and oil pressure, an applied parking brake and high beam, open doors and others. The simple look of the badges clearly confirms that, until recently, Hyundai paid attention exclusively to functionality. The location of the instrument panel is the only extravagance. Inside, everything is very trivial. In addition to the convenient air conditioning control panel and the classic audio head unit, there are several compartments for small items.

The 354-liter trunk does not disappoint. Especially when you consider the compact dimensions of the Matrix body. If necessary, the back of the rear sofa can be folded. To get a flat floor, you just need to raise the folded sofa to a vertical position. A large fifth door opening and a low threshold make it easy to load large items. Under the bench of the second row are hidden compartments for small items.

Independent suspension on both axles provides good comfort absorbing most of the bumps. The situation changes when the driver decides to push the gas harder. When moving quickly in corners, the body begins to roll, and the steering characteristics do not allow estimating the margin of adhesion of the wheels to the road. From a dynamic ride, even the noise of the engine, clearly audible from both gasoline and diesel units, scares away.

For the Hyundai Matrix, gasoline engines with a working volume of 1.6 liters (103 hp, 141 Nm) and 1.8 liters (122 hp, 162 Nm) were provided. Any of them could be combined with a 4-speed "automatic" for an additional fee. The line also had a diesel unit - 1.5 l (82 hp, 187 Nm; since 2005 102 hp, 235 Nm and 110 hp, 235 Nm).

The turbodiesel used after 2005 deserves positive recommendations. Three-cylinder diesel engine Italian company VM Motori with timing belt, gave way to a four-cylinder diesel own design Hyundai with chain type timing drive. The new turbodiesel is quieter and has more torque. The latter is very lacking in gasoline engines. Good traction could be achieved only by spinning Gas engine up to 4500 rpm. Therefore, overtaking on a loaded car makes you seriously strain.

Hyundai Matrix in the DEKRA ratings did not take the best lines. During technical inspections, a loss of tightness in the power steering system was found relatively often. Corrosion has been found repeatedly brake pipes. DEKRA experts also note the rapid wear of brake discs and pads, and the appearance of cracks on the anthers of the CV joint. With a run of more than 100,000 km, play appears in the ball bearings and suspension bushings.

At first glance, the list of faults may seem long. However, most of the problems are the result of careless operation. Serious failures that can immobilize the car are rare. There are problems with the immobilizer and starter. In some instances, thermostats are rented.

Matrix owners most often complain about corrosion attacking the rear fenders, wheel arches and body edges.

Interested in buying diesel versions we can recommend 102 and 110 strong modifications. Earlier diesels had problems with the injection system.

Finding spare parts is not a difficult task, especially if the Internet is used for this. All thanks to the technical relationship of Matrix with others Hyundai models. Last but not least, the prices for branded substitutes are quite affordable.

Hyundai Matrix is ​​an undervalued car, and therefore loses value quite quickly. Yes, its appearance and interior are not impressive, but the mechanics and internal volume do not give rise to disappointment. If the budget is limited, but you need a moderately fresh family car, then the Hyundai Matrix is ​​worthy of your attention.
