Hyundai Matrix - Generation 1.2 (2006-2007)

HYUNDAI MATRIX (2006-2007)

A 2006 facelift gave the Matrix a diesel engine which Hyundai was pushing through with that technology during that time. Otherwise, there's no more automatic transmission, driver's airbag, and ABS brakes. Discontinued at the end of 2007 due to production movement to Turkey which may end up costly.
