Hyundai has given its Hyundai Matrix a facelift for the 2009 model year and the mini-MPV now features Hyundai’s new corporate nose, similiar to the one on the new generation Hyundai i30. There are minimal changes on the rear.
Three engine choices are available – a 103 PS 1.6 litre from the Alpha family of engines, a 128 PS 1.8 litre from the Beta family of engines, and a 1.5 litre CRDi turbodiesel putting out 110 PS. The Malaysian Inokom Matrix is only available with the petrol engines.
More photos and a video after the jump.

AI-generated Summary ✨
Comments generally appreciate the facelift's redesign, particularly the more appealing front look, though some prefer the older style. Many are curious about pricing, fuel efficiency, and maintenance costs. Concerns are raised about the car's durability, high petrol consumption, and the lack of a diesel option, especially in Malaysia. Several mention the similarity to other Hyundai models and question whether this is the end of the Matrix line, with mixed opinions on the new design's aesthetics.
