2013 Toyota Matrix S AWD: Dynamic and Capable

Feb 12, 2013

On a recent trip to the mountain for some snowboarding, I had the opportunity to ride in the passenger seat for once. During this time away from the wheel, I was able to observe all of the vehicles that people depend on to handle mountain conditions. To be brief, most of what I saw was trucks and SUVs. Which led me to an interesting question: are there mountain-ready hatchbacks out there for the drivers who don’t want an SUV or truck? And I immediately thought about the 2013 Toyota Matrix S AWD.

This year’s iteration of the popular Toyota hatchback is specifically designed to meet the active lifestyle. The interior can be adjusted to accommodate cargo of all sizes, the six-speaker sound system bumps just fine and the All-Wheel Drive system keeps you in control no matter what the conditions.

2.4L 4-Cylinder Engine good for 158 horsepower and 162 lb.-ft. of torque
All-Wheel Drive (AWD) with active torque-control
Toyota Care: Complimentary maintenance plan and roadside assistance for two years or 25,000 miles, whichever comes first

Extreme, ever-changing weather conditions are nothing new to the Midwest. Wouldn’t it be nice to know that, no matter what the jet stream throws at you, you’ll be safe on the road? Plus, when you do head out for that weekend adventure to the mountains like I did, you’ll know that your Matrix is equipped with all that you need to get up and down safely.
