2005 toyota Matrix Xr

2005 toyota Matrix Xr: The Toyota Matrix "tall wagon" slips into 2005 with very little modifications: a brand-new grille, renovated front bumpers as well as clear taillights, dual-stage airbags, new fabrics, revamped controls, gliding sun visors and 2 new outside colours.

The line-up remains the same as 2004, with front- and also four-wheel-drive models offered in base and also XR trim lines, and the extra-horsepower, front-wheel-drive XRS.

The base models feature 16-inch steel wheels, CD with four speakers, front container seats, 60/40 split rear bench seat, tilt wheel, freight cover, double manual-remote mirrors, taken care of intermittent front wipers as well as intermittent back washer/wiper. Anti-lock brakes are conventional on the base 4WD model.

The XR models add air conditioning, power home windows, power locks with keyless access, power mirrors, leather-wrapped wheel, lit up entry, cruise ship control, map lights, a tire stress tracking system (on 4WD designs just), 16-inch alloy wheels, and variable periodic wipers.

The XRS design consists of all of the XR features, plus four-wheel disc brakes with ABS, six-disc CD player with four speakers, 115-volt accessory electrical outlet, 17-inch light weight aluminum wheels, fog lamps, skirt plan, and power sunroof.

The Ontario-built, Corolla-based Matrix is a sister cars and truck to the California-built Pontiac Ambiance. It's incredibly functional, providing tons of storage space as well as a configuration that makes it nearly a little minivan. It trips as well as takes care of well, although its seating position isn't really constantly comfortable for taller motorists. The 170 hp XRS is a fun and muscle ride. Chrysler PT Cruiser's newly-reduced $15,998 base rate damages the base Matrix by $1,052; although the PT has even more horse power, its much heavier visual weight leads to performance that feels about the exact same, and the Toyota's construct top quality is much better.

While the sporty as well as versatile compact Matrix wagon shares platforms, powertrains, and also elements with the Pontiac Vibe, it includes its own distinct exterior as well as interior designing treatments. Offered in either front- or all-wheel drive, the Matrix's comes with a 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine that generates 130 horse power in the base version as well as 123 horses in XR trim, as well as can be fitted to either a five-speed manual (with front-drive designs) or a four-speed automatic transmission. The leading XRS version includes a more-satisfying 173-horsepower variation of the 1.8-liter engine as well as offers a six-speed manual transmission. Split-folding back seats with ample tie-down areas as well as various storage locations and also containers contribute to the Matrix's fundamental utility. Conventional features consist of anti-lock brakes with brakeforce circulation, air conditioning, and also a CD stereo; a satellite navigation system is among the car's lots of choices. Few changes are expected for 2005.
