 | | Matrix XR adds: air conditioning, cushion height adjustment for driver seat, leather wrapped steering wheel and shifter knob (with automatic transmission), cruise control, power mirrors, power windows, power locks variable intermittent wipers, keyless entry, 16-inch alloy wheels, map lights, coloured bumpers, door handles, side skirts and splash guards. |
