2011 New Toyota Matrix Review


The 2011 Matrix is due a minor styling facelift and its sporty and all-wheel-drive (AWD) models will likely get a new engine. The 2011 Matrix will remain basically a station wagon version of the 2011 Toyota Corolla compact sedan but with the additional benefit of available AWD. Toyota is phasing-in the installation of an electronic brake override designed to thwart sudden acceleration and every model-year 2011 Matrix will have the upgrade. Most 2010 models should have it as well.


Wait for the 2011 Matrix if you want the latest styling tweaks or you’re interested in a bit more power. Neither should be compelling enough, however, to pass up a great deal on a 2010 Matrix if you need a compact wagon now. Toyota’s extending generous cash-back and low-interest incentives as it tries to recover from sales lost during the sudden-acceleration recall. Obviously, verify with your dealer that any 2010 Matrix you’re considering has the brake-override system as well as the modified gas pedal and replacement driver’s-side floormat fitted as part of the recall.

The 2011 Toyota Matrix ranks 6 out of 7 Affordable Compact Wagons. This ranking is based on analysis of 43 published reviews and test drives of the Toyota Matrix, and analysis of reliability and safety data.


The 2011 Toyota Matrix is fuel-efficient and utilitarian, but reviewers say it can’t top its competitors: Its performance is underwhelming, and it doesn’t offer nearly as much cargo space.

The automotive industry finds that 2011 Toyota Matrix is a hodgepodge of highs and lows. Let’s start with the good. The Matrix has some of the highest fuel economy ratings in its class, good cargo space, a comfortable interior and Smart Stop Technology. With a base model and a manual transmission, you can get 26/32 mpg city/highway, figures that are only topped by the Mini Cooper Clubman and Nissan Juke, both of which are too small for most shoppers. 


The Matrix also has a maximum cargo capacity of 49.4 cubic feet, which is plenty of space for hauling groceries or luggage. If you check out the Matrix’s interior, you should be satisfied with driver and passenger seating. The back seat is roomy, and there’s a standard tilt and telescopic steering wheel. Finally, Toyota added Smart Stop Technology, a system that reduces engine power when the brake pedal and accelerator are pressed at the same time, to the Matrix’s standard features list.

For these reasons, some journalists think the Toyota Matrix is a good choice. “Behold the Corolla wagon,” says Car and Driver. “Sharing its mechanicals with Toyota’s bestselling small car, the Matrix attracts with spacious and practical hatchback utility." However, after testing the Matrix’s sporty S trim and comparing the Matrix to its competitors, other test drivers think there are better affordable compact wagons on the market.


For example, reviewers find the base 1.8-liter engine is acceptable for daily commutes, but report that it’s underpowered compared to the Matrix’s sporty S model and the competition. If you upgrade to the S trim, you’ll still encounter a few problems. Performance is significantly better, but fuel economy plunges to 21/29 mpg city/highway with an automatic transmission. That’s down from 26/32 with the base engine and a manual transmission. Plus, the S model starts at about $21,400, which is expensive considering its decent but forgettable performance.

Even if you are satisfied with the performance upgrade, you may be disappointed with interior quality on either trim, which looks and feels inexpensive. Next is cargo space. The Matrix’s maximum cargo capacity is good, but when you compare the Matrix’s figures to its competitors, this wagon is easily bested by the Honda Fit, a hatchback, and the Hyundai Elantra Touring and Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen, all of which have more than 57 cubic feet with the rear seats folded.

When it comes down to it, the Matrix’s final grade looks pretty grim, and as a result, many reviewers aren’t impressed with this wagon’s complete package. “She's fun around town -- a good commuting car, really,” says Mother Proof . “But in the end, my hard, hard heart wasn't completely sold on the Matrix." But, if you are sold on the Matrix, don’t be discouraged. The Matrix will get you from point A to point B without hassle.

The Toyota Matrix gets a few changes for the 2011 model year. It has new wheels, two engines – down from three last year – standard Smart Stop Technology and an S model that features a 2.4-liter engine and 17-inch wheels. All-wheel drive is optional on the S trim. The base model has a 1.8-liter engine.

Compared to the rest of the class, as well as hatchbacks and compact SUVs, the Matrix is pricey. It starts at about $18,550 for the base model, and reaches about $21,400 for the sportier S model. At this rate you might as well start equipping a Honda Fit or Hyundai Elantra Touring with optional interior features or get a compact SUV.

New Toyota Prius 2011


Prius is certified as a Super Ultra Low Emission Vehicle (SULEV), which means it runs 75 percent cleaner than the standard for Ultra Low Emission Vehicles (ULEV). That's a remarkable feat. Prius' hybrid powertrain and regenerative braking systems are sure to garner the lion's share of the media's attention. But little things add up too. Here are some of the unsung energy-efficient innovations that'll have the competition scratching their heads.


2011 Toyota Prius MPV With Latest Reviews And Prices. Although still preoccupied with the completion of the recall, do not delay the program from Toyota Japan that have been scheduled. Included with the production of environmentally friendly vehicles.

2011 Toyota Prius is not the most comfortable car or the fastest on the market, but the Prius makes up for this mistake with a star rating fuel economy 51/48 mpg city / highway, the highest in the market.

Now that the hybrid market grows, it is important to learn more about the cars in this class thrives. Toyota Prius has been on the market since 1997, and it's come a long way. It obtained generous trunk and interior more spacious, and most importantly, the highest fuel economy ratings 51/48 mpg city / highway all hybrid cars and gasoline in the market.

They were right. From hybrid sedan on the market, the Prius has the best combination of cargo space, interior space and high fuel economy compared to other models. This is also the most affordable. One thing the Prius is not big on performance. Some reviewers say it handles like a tool, and others say it is only good for everyday use. However, if you want faster hybrid, it's a good idea to check out the competition.

Averaging 51/48 mpg city / highway, 2011 Toyota Prius hybrid most fuel efficient on the market, but with 1.8-liter hybrid powertrain that produces 134 horsepower and 105 pound-feet of torque, it is not the most powerful.

There are four trims: Prius II, III, IV and V. Each model receives the same powertrain.

Toyota has not released pricing for 2011 Toyota Prius, but the 2010 model starts at $ 22,800, the position of the Honda Insight which is cheaper and pricier Ford Fusion Hybrid and Toyota Camry Hybrid.

Power of the Prius' biggest fuel economy rating of 51/48 mpg city / highway that goes beyond hybrid cars and gasoline at this price range. To help maximize mileage driver, the Prius allows the driver to select one of three driving modes, each offering different performance characteristics and efficiency numbers: Eco, the most efficient fuel, Normal and Power, the most efficient.

2011 Prius is powered by a 1.8-liter four-cylinder inline engine kilowatts of electricity and motor-60. This powertrain produces 134 horsepower and 105 pound feet of torque, which exceeds the Honda Insight 's 98 horsepower and 123 foot pounds of torque. Prius, however, is less powerful than the Toyota Camry Hybrid and Ford Fusion Hybrid. Combined, 's Fusion 2.5 four-cylinder engine and electric motor foot pump 191 horsepower and 136 pounds of torque, while the Camry has 147 horsepower and 138 foot pounds of torque. But their power comes at a cost, both have fuel economy ratings of 41/36 mpg city lower / highway and 31/35 mpg city / highway, respectively.

Prius will never be a sports car, but always will prioritize fuel economy. Prius does not disappoint in this arena. The EPA says gets an average of 51/48 mpg city / highway, the best mileage for gasoline-run cars in this price range.

2011 New Scion xB Updated


Many Scion xB fans didn’t like the redesign of the boxy compact nearly three years ago. Maybe that’s why Scion decided to revise a bit of that new design for the 2011 model year.

The 2011 xB is a 4-door, 5-passenger wagon, available in two trims, the 5-Door Wagon 5-Spd MT and the 5-Door Wagon 4-Spd AT.

Upon introduction, both trims are equipped with a standard 2.4-liter, I4, 158-horsepower engine that achieves 22-mpg in the city and 28-mpg on the highway. A 5-speed manual transmission with overdrive is standard on the 5-Door Wagon 5-Spd MT. A 4-speed automatic transmission is standard on the 5-Door Wagon 4-Spd AT.

The most notable change is the jutting front bumper, which is similar to the original model’s chinlike protrusion. The headlights, taillights and front and rear bumpers also get restyled. Besides that chin, most of the changes are subtle.

Inside, the seats get a new lighter gray fabric, and the front seats get beefed-up bolsters. A new center console has an adjustable armrest, and the steering wheel adds a telescoping feature to its previous tilt.

The Hypnotic Teal Micra color that was so polarizing for the past generation will no longer be offered. Instead, two new colors will be available: Army Rock Metallic and Elusive Blue Metallic.

Powertrain offerings remain the same, with the 158-horsepower engine being a bit of a gas hog for the class at 22/28 mpg city/highway for either transmission. The 2010 Kia Soul’s sportiest engine gets 24/30 with 142 hp and starts $800 less than the xB.

What is the price of the 2011 xB? It gets a $150 bump to $16,000 for the manual transmission and $16,950 for the automatic, not including $670 in destination charges.

Toyota RAV4 2011, Spacious, Comfortable and Easy to Drive


So many compact crossover SUV on the market today, it's hard to remember the brand creates the idea of SUVs, car-based small. But by then the Toyota RAV4-based small Celica that create segments about 15 years ago, beating the rival Honda CR-V for the punch.

2011 Toyota RAV4 in the selling price from $ 21.925 crossover closer to the middle in terms of exterior dimensions. But Toyota has found a way to offer all that room (with seating for seven) while still providing an impressive fuel efficiency. Indeed, larger RAV4 today supported by the available 269 horsepower V6 is actually exceed-fuel-economy ratings than the original RAV4 with a 120-hp four-cylinder - this gives 1 mpg over the EPA-rated combined driving.

One of the strengths RAV4 is its ability to easily make the transition from the family runabout accommodate the pack mule. There is useful storage space throughout the interior and rear seats fold down to create a spacious cargo hold more than the Ford Edge medium. Passenger space is also quite good, with an optional third-row seating that can accommodate a pair of children. Add the V6 is strong but frugal and you can see why the RAV4 has been a favorite of Edmunds over the last few years.


The 2011 Toyota RAV4 is a midsize crossover SUV. There are three trim levels available: base, Sport and Limited. Each one is available with front- or all-wheel drive and a choice of either a four-cylinder or V6 engine.

The base RAV4 comes standard with 16-inch steel wheels, a limited-slip differential (front-drive models only), air-conditioning, cruise control, full power accessories, keyless entry, a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, height-adjustable driver seat and a six-speaker stereo with CD player and auxiliary audio jack. The base V6 4WD adds 17-inch cast-aluminum wheels.



The 2011 Toyota RAV4 comes standard with a 2.5-liter inline-4 engine that delivers 179 hp and 172 pound-feet of torque. A four-speed automatic transmission is standard. Fuel economy for this model with front-wheel drive is 22 mpg city/28 mpg highway and 24 mpg combined, and 21/27/24 with 4WD.

A 3.5-liter V6 with a five-speed automatic transmission is optional for all trim levels of the RAV4. It produces 269 hp and 246 lb-ft of torque. In Edmunds performance testing, the RAV4 V6 4WD delivers a time from a standstill to 60 mph of 7.2 seconds -- quick for the segment. The V6 achieves an impressive 19 mpg city/27 mpg highway and 22 mpg combined for the front-wheel-drive RAV4, and these ratings change only by 1 mpg less for EPA highway when the 4WD model is selected.




Every RAV4 trim level can be matched with either front-wheel or four-wheel drive. In 4WD models, power is sent to the front wheels until tire slippage is detected and then power is also directed to the rear wheels. The torque split can be manually locked at 50 percent front/50 percent rear for driving in poor traction conditions, such as gravel or snow. With the optional tow package, the RAV4 V6 can pull as much as 3,500 pounds.

New Toyota Sienna 2011

The New Toyota Sienna was redesigned for 2011, and observers agree that the minivan is much better than before. No longer stuck behind the Honda Odyssey, the new Sienna took a former class leader in the dynamics and comfort, while the loss of soft style that marked previous Sienna. Most reviewers say that Sienna 2011 is the best minivan on the market.



The first change most will notice in 2011 Sienna is revised exterior. Muscular and beautiful, the new Sienna implant design style to a segment that is marked by anonymity. Car and Driver echoes feelings of most reviewers, saying, "We can go so far as to call the search Sienna minivan is still there-the best." Stepping in the 2011 Sienna reveals an all-new interior as well. While reviewers criticized some of the materials, most agree that both are designed with intuitively placed controls.

Starting from $ 24,260, the base Sienna is equipped with tri-zone air conditioning, power windows and door locks, seven airbags, cruise control, LED taillights and alloy wheels. The base Sienna minivan is one of the least expensive, but Dodge and Kia also offers a minivan with a starting price similar. Although the Sienna can be extremely expensive when fully charged, most of the models is a strong value for the class.

While the review comments on the slow acceleration of the base-liter four-cylinder 2.7-new engine, some argue it is quite adequate in most driving situations. The optional 3.5-liter V6 receives high praise for, a strong and subtle nature of fuel efficiency (four-cylinder Siennas is EPA-rated at 19/24, while the V6 models are rated at 18/24). The Sienna also stands as the only minivan on the market to offer all-wheel drive is optional.



New for 2011 is the sporty SE model. Reviewer says SE oxymoron that works. It's only available in front-wheel drive with V6 power, and observers expressed great pleasure in returning the steering wheel and suspension setup - though looks sporty which may not be for everyone.

Other minivan to Consider
Despite the fact that General Motors and Ford have abandoned the minivan market that supports the crossover, the Sienna still face high competition. The biggest competitor is the Honda Odyssey. Although the consensus among reviewers that the new Sienna minivan is king, 's perch Toyota will be challenged next year when it releases redesigned Honda Odyssey. Reviewers generally supports the driving characteristics of the Odyssey of the Sienna, commented that only the sporty SE Sienna can compete with the Odyssey to road manners.

Dynamic short fall compared with Sienna and Odyssey, the Town & Country, Dodge Grand Caravan is a feasible alternative to current efforts Toyota minivan. Although Chrysler and Dodge have interior material is worse than Sienna, they offer more storage space, including underfloor storage in the second row. This storage can also house a second row stowable seats - something to consider if you regularly transport large items.



Those who seek to examine the value of the Kia Sedona, which starts at about $ 2,000 less than the Sienna and equipped with standard V6 power. However, buyers should know it also rides on a wheelbase 5.5 inches shorter than the Sienna - which means offering less interior room. If you need more space, you can buy Sedona LX models, which ride on the same wheelbase size Sienna - but also started at almost the same price with the Sienna, so it will not save money.

While Sienna Toyota was not involved in the accelerator pedal recall, some critics have begun to raise questions about the quality Toyota. For its part, Toyota says remains committed to quality and safety. Toyota has set an override brake system in 2011 Sienna, the bypass valve when the brake pedal is pressed.

New Toyota Harier, Harga Naik


Toyota Harrier Hybrid SUV and Toyota Prius in Japan increased by 3%. This is for the first time in three decades, Toyota Motor Corp.. (TMC)-style model of raising prices in Japan without the addition of new features.

It was solely because of the high price of steel and other raw materials that could no longer in akomodir through a series of cost saving measures undertaken TMC.

This decision is difficult for the TMC, as the Japanese domestic market was slow. New price for the two hybrid cars rose 3%, while some commercial vehicle models rose 2%.

Starting next month the standard version of the Prius, the Prius S 73 500 yen will rise to 2.38 million yen. While the Harrier Hybrid Premium S 136.5 thousand yen climbed to 4.76 million yen.

Toyota has been making various efforts to maintain the fixed price does not rise, but prices of raw materials is expected to remain at high levels for long durations.

Toyota also raised its prices for some models in the USA, without changing the model. Toyota raising prices usually simultaneously with the addition of new features, facelift or the birth of a new generation.

Last time Toyota raised prices on Japan models without adding any features occurred in 1974, amounting to 10% following the oil embargo that occurred at that time. Earlier in 1973, amounting to 7%. Especially for commercial vehicles and vans, the last time there was a price increase in 1992.

New Toyota Verso-S


Toyota will exhibit at booth at the Paris Motor Show, world premiere, a small van (MPV) referred back of S, and a restyled version of the model inside iQ. The Toyota Verso S re-segment small car family, where several years ago have only one representative: Toyota Yaris Verso.

The Japanese firm's replacement for the long-gone Yaris Verso measures just under 4 meters in length and will compete with the likes of the Kia Venga, Opel Meriva and Citroen C3 Picasso. We don't have anything else in the way of details, but European buyers should expect a similar petrol and diesel engine lineup to the Yaris.



The all-new Toyota Verso-S arrived at the world’s leading at the Paris Motor show in 2010. Underestimated, broad and ill-S Toyota Verso efficiency in the direction of an empty display. This brusquest overall length – to a lesser degree four beats – whatever the MPV in the segment-B in Europe. But attention to contingencies in any practical expression by the spaciousness of the interior design has maximum flexibility, convenience and caliber to understand the end-to-end.

The smallest four-seater in the world, Toyota iQ comes with an internal review at the Paris Motor Show, and the Aygo model comes with a small class connectivity technology, suggestively called Connect. Also, Toyota's stand at Paris will host the FT-CH concept, already presented in Geneva in March 2010, and the Prius plug-in hybrid - an advanced version of the hybrid Prius, which will be available on sale in Europe 2012.

Scion iQ Dari Toyota Di New York Auto Show

Well, well, well – it looks like Toyota's iQ is coming to the U.S. after all, only it will be (as reported) sporting a Scion badge. Makes sense. Especially as according to Scion, the world's smallest four-seater is aimed squarely at a very young demographic. Not just young, but hip and urban, too. In fact, we were told that the iQ represents a "new urbanism," and is a vehicle for a "progressive buyer." We can hear Glenn Beck's aneurysm from here.

As for details, the "mini-er, smart-er" iQ sports a 1.3-liter engine delivering its not-yet-divulged power through a CVT. Mileage should be in the high 30s, which is reasonable but far from overwhelming for such a small package. The iQ will also ship with stability control, traction control and ABS, as well as ten – count 'em – ten airbags, as well as the industry's first-ever rear window bag. As for now, that's the whole story. We'll update you on price, performance specs, and on-sale date when we know more. Press release after the jump.
